Once the concrete reaches a strength of at least 15 MPa, connection holding plate can be removed. At the installation site, connecting and securing precast concrete components may only commence when the concrete has reached a strength of at least 25 MPa. Contact CERTEX DK for lower strength values.
Starcon transport anchors with cross holes that are exposed to corrosion, or damaged must not be used. • The Starcon transport anchor with cross holes must only be hoisted by a lifting loop of the same size. • The Starcon lifting and handling system must not be used to lift more than the specified load.
6 Using the Starcon system The Starcon system comprises a wide range of anchors in a load group from 0.5S to 2.5S per anchor with various lengths. The principle for using the system is the same for the entire range. The Starcon system consists of the following two main components: 6.1 Starcon Transport anchor with cross pin...
