The Kwikstage Galvanized Tie Bar is a critical structural component designed to connect scaffolding systems to building structures, ensuring lateral stability and resistance to wind and seismic forces. Manufactured from 20mm diameter high-tensile steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, these tie bars feature threaded ends and adjustable turnbuckles for precise tensioning. The design allows for both horizontal and angled connections, making them suitable for a wide range of building materials, including concrete, steel, and masonry.
Adjustable Tensioning: The 150mm travel turnbuckle allows fine-tuning of tie bar length from 1.2m to 1.5m, accommodating minor structural variations.
Heavy-Duty Construction: With a yield strength of 460MPa, the tie bar can withstand up to 8kN of tensile force, meeting EN 362 and AS/NZS 1576.1 standards.
Corrosion Protection: The galvanized coating provides a minimum 550-hour salt spray resistance, making them suitable for coastal and industrial environments.
Multi-Material Compatibility: Includes masonry anchors, steel clamps, and concrete inserts, ensuring secure attachment to various substrates.
These tie bars are essential for stabilizing scaffolding in:
1. High-rise constructions where wind loads exceed 50kPa
2. Seismic zones requiring additional lateral bracing
3. Refurbishment projects on heritage buildings, where non-destructive anchoring is necessary
4. Temporary structures such as grandstands and event stages that require rapid tie-down.
Q: How often should tie bars be retensioned?
A: After initial installation and following extreme weather events or load changes. A visual inspection for slack is recommended weekly.
Q: Can they be cut to a shorter length?
A: No, cutting will compromise the galvanized finish and structural integrity. Use the turnbuckle for length adjustment within the specified range.
Q: What is the minimum embedment depth for concrete anchors?
A: A minimum of 100mm for M12 anchors, as per the manufacturer's installation guidelines.
Q: Are they suitable for use with timber buildings?
A: Yes, when used with timber-specific brackets that distribute load over a larger surface area to prevent splitting.
