EJOT’s range of high performance concrete anchoring solutions, at the heart of which is its globally renowned LIEBIG heavy duty anchors, is now available for main contractors and public sector project teams to specify and procure with confidence through the Constructionline platform.

In being approved as a Constructionline Premier member by the industry-leading procurement and supply chain management service, EJOT has been verified to operate to the highest ethical and quality standards under the latest membership structure.

Membership to this highest level means EJOT has successfully complied with Constructionline’s enhanced assessment criteria in areas including environmental management, quality management and equal opportunities policies. As a result, buyers involved in major public sector building and infrastructure projects can find valid information on EJOT’s fastening systems, including its market-leading building envelope solutions and LIEBIG heavy duty anchors, in Constructionline’s supplier database.

Paul Papwoth, EJOT UK’s structural anchoring specialist said: “We’re really pleased to have been approved as a Constructionline Premier member because we know how important it is for buyers on major projects to have total confidence in their supply partners, particularly for safety critical applications like anchoring into concrete.

“As a global business we are dedicated to working to the highest quality standards, whether that’s in respect of our ISO registered manufacturing systems, environmental management or ethical considerations. This is coupled with the high technical standards for our EJOT and LIEBIG branded products, many of which are certified to internationally recognised standards including ETAs (European Technical Assessments), the UKCA mark and FM Approvals, to give procurement teams full confidence in our ability to meet their project goals.”

LIEBIG anchors are suited to heavy duty applications including anchoring structural steel in industrial buildings.

Originally created as a government department more than 20 years ago, Constructionline supports thousands of businesses across the public and private sectors by connecting buyers and suppliers. It increases opportunities for members like EJOT to access a wide range of procurement contracts and projects, while at the same time giving buyers access to a validated pool of high quality suppliers working to enhanced PAS 91 criteria.

The LIEBIG range of heavy duty anchors has been used globally since the 1980s in wide variety of applications. These include nuclear power facilities, military establishments, tunnels, bridges and other safety critical high load installations and applications.

In the UK, a number of significant recent infrastructure projects have benefited from LIEBIG anchors too. These include HS2, where LIEBIG Superplus BLS anchors provided a versatile solution to securely fix silos at one of the project’s concrete batching plants, and the construction of the Third River Crossing bridge in Great Yarmouth, where LIEBIG Ultraplus anchors were specified to attach the bridge’s lifting, holding and lowering mechanism.

The depth of the assessment and scrutiny involved in the Constructionline scheme means no part of a supplier’s business goes untouched. As part of EJOT’s Constructionline verification process, it submitted a variety of quality specific documentation, ranging from its ISO 9001:2015 certificate and ethical and equality policies, to information detailing the company’s Carbon Reduction Plan 2035 and the data to demonstrate its reduction efforts to date.

The Liebig brand has for years been synonymous with quality, performance and ease of installation

The Liebig brand has for years been synonymous with quality, performance and ease of installation, gaining respect from specifiers and contractors. Many of the original flagship products remain at the forefront of today’s anchoring technology.

 

 

 

Hallmarked classics such as ‘Ultraplus’ and ‘Superplus’ have a proven history of unrivalled anchoring strength at installations that include nuclear power stations and seismic processing plants, worldwide

Liebig Ultraplus

Regarded as the ultimate high-performance anchor, sizes run from M12 up to M36, extending associated performance benefits beyond any other mechanical anchor, with unique features that include:

  • Mechanical spring-loaded anchor setting
  • Reverse undercut mechanism
  • Built-in isolation between fixture and anchor
  • Modularity and application-specific variants

Liebig Superplus

Ranging from M8 to M16, this anchor requires no special drill bits, no maximum hole depth and no special setting tools – reducing workmanship related issues. From drilling through to setting torque, Superplus is installed like any regular expansion anchor yet offers higher guaranteed performance – making it the choice for safety-critical applications.

Liebig Safteybolt.

From M8 to M16, this anchor is unlike other heavy duty expansion anchors. The principle of drawing an expansion sleeve over a tapered cone to create a friction grip is the same, but the Liebig Safetybolt benefits from a secondary cone at the top of the expansion sleeve. Once primary expansion has taken place at the bottom of the anchor, this also expands. The result is more uniformed expansion over a greater surface area -mimproving its hold and resistance to applied tension loads.

Liebig Anchor

More comparable to other heavy duty anchors within price-sensitive markets, this product still offers unique features such as its three-piece expansion shield which generates a more uniformed single point expansion.

This anchor like the Liebig Safetybolt, has a domed washer under the nut or bolt head. This becomes flattened when the anchor is tightened to the correct torque.

Modularity:

All Liebig anchors are modular in design, so special lengths are easily and cost-effectively produced within a minimal lead time. They can be modified to increase anchorage depth or to enable them to hold down much thicker fixtures. Because they are manufactured using higher grade materials, higher tensile and shear loads are easily achieved.
