Monitoring the tensions

• Easy to fit and pace saving
• Robust design
• Internal hole measured to fit
• Good accessibility allowing quick and straightforward re-tensioning

Task

The tensions transferred by tie rods must be monitored constantly during installation, and quickly readjusted if necessary. This requires constant unobstructed access to the screw fastenings using large, typically hydraulic tools. It is a fundamental requirement on building sites that all components, including the load cell, are robust enough for the environment. Furthermore, it must be easy to remove the measuring device once construction has finished.
