The Helibeam system of structural reinforcement
and repair, provides a rapid , versatile, cost effective means of
restoring structural integrity to buildings and structures where
masonry has failed and lost its load bearing capabilities. In combination
with other Helifix ties and fixings it provides a comprehensive
system of structural repair and stabilisation.
Where
masonry has cracked and failed, as a result of ground movement,
weathering, or increased loads and stresses, the Helibeam system
provides stress free horizontal bed joint reinforcement which
ties the masonry together while creating deep masonry beams which
re-distribute the structural loads. Other tie and fixings provide
appropriate lateral and vertical restraint to complete the system,
which is suitable to all types of masonry structure.
For
many situations the Helibeam system offers a structurally sound
alternative, at significantly less cost, to mass underpinning
and other traditional repair methods. In case of severe ground
movement, full underpinning is extremely expensive and may actually
cause further problems. Even localised piling may be a risk. However
with the use of concrete pads under the corner, or at selected
points, the Helibeam system can be used to create girder beams
in the masonry which form a clear span between the pads to re-distribute
the loads. Overall costs and disturbance to the ground, the building,
and its occupants are all considerably reduced
