NEW: HALFEN HIT Insulated Balcony Connector System for Post
Tensioning Applications
Leviat has launched the world’s first balcony connector element for
post tensioning applications, which can be used alongside its
industry renowned range of Halfen HIT Structural Thermal
Breaks.
Hervé Poveda, Leviat’s Head of Product Excellence, Reinforcement
& Building Physics – Europe & APAC, said: “The development
of this innovative solution was as a result of our customers
looking to include balconies in the post tensioning process. Our
new Halfen HIT Insulated Balcony Connector System allows balconies
to be cast together with the main slab and then simultaneously
stressed – something which has never been possible before with
conventionally reinforced concrete balconies. Furthermore, formwork
installation and removal on balconies and the main slab can take
place all at the same time, driving significant efficiencies on
construction sites, enabling users to build better and faster which
reduces costs.”
Specifiers can be confident that the new system complies with the
UK’s latest guidance and building regulations, with particular
reference to fire resistance and thermal efficiency.
