For AJUSTCO, what are advantages copared to cast-in-place embedded anchors?
Great question. The cast in place anchors that have been around for a while have flaws which is why they have not been widely adopted.
1. They stick up on the deck and are often knocked out by the crew installing the rebar. Our product is installed in 2 parts. The first part is out of the way and the bolt is installed right before the actual concrete pour after the second rebar cage is installed.
2. The Anchor Thread has been tested up to 13,800 pounds per point with continued testing. Current embeds have wieght limitations.
3. The current anchors leave a plastic part which make it difficult to patch. The Anchor Thread can easily be patched.
