EdjPro Narrow System

Edge-Lifting Systems for Factory-Cast Panels
The EdjPro Narrow system was specifically developed to eliminate cracking and spalling around edge anchors.
It is ideal for lifting thin factory-cast panels where a high finish is required, typically visible and exterior walls.
Use of the EdjPro Narrow system will ensure panels remain in their perfect factory-cast condition, avoiding
remedial work and lowering overall costs.

Design Considerations System Benefits

LinkPro applications should be engineered to
meet the requirements of relevant standards,
e.g. AS 3600, AS 3850 for building elements,
AS 5100 for bridge elements and TMR
MTRS73 for prestressed concrete members,
taking into consideration the rigging, element
dimensions, weight, concrete strength,
reinforcing etc.
Ancon LinkPro provides a safe, reliable, fully
engineered solution to the issues of handling
the size and scale of precast concrete units
used in the civil engineering sector. LinkPro is
easily installed, without recess formers, ready
for direct connection to standard lifting hooks
and shackles. Refer to Figure 1.
LinkPro is suitable for axial and diagonal lifting,
with a maximum sling angle of 60°, from
manufacture until final installation of the precast
concrete element.
The multi-stranded, fibre-cored/steel-cored
construction of LinkPro features small diameter
outer wires (see table for details) which
generate low bending stresses when loaded.
When shackle pins are used we recommend a
diameter not less than 3.5 times rope diameter
d. Ancon LPT Thimbles are available if the
shackle pins or crane hooks do not meet the
requirements. For further information, please
refer to Ancon for engineered lifting design
guidance.

Reinforcement Details
Figure 2 Figure 3
Minimum precast element dimensions and reinforcement requirements
The recommended concrete compressive strength for lifting fcm = 30MPa.
Factor of Safety for Lifting = 3.
The minimum precast element dimensions and required reinforcement at fcm = 30MPa is shown in the table below.
The minimum spacing s between any two LinkPro loops is 2c. Refer to Figure 2.
The reinforcement should be evenly distributed in the critical zone either side of a loop over a width z = 1.5hef. Refer to Figure 3.
If the design shear reinforcing of the precast element A s is less than A s,min shown in the tables, then additional reinforcement e.g. hairpins,
stirrups or hooked bars should be added to increase the area to A s,min. The ties should be evenly and closely spaced around the LinkPro loop at
approximately 50mm spacing while complying with bar spacing requirements of relevant design standards.
Reinforcement should be designed by the lifting design engineer, detailed on the shop drawings and placed in accordance with the approved lifting
design. Where additional reinforcement is required, ensure it is not in contact with the swaged ferrule.
LinkPro has been designed to be used in conjunction with reinforcement details from relevant design standards.
In the tranverse installation, if any bars need to be cut to install the loop, they should be replaced by bars of the same size and lapped in
accordance with the relevant design standard.
For applications which fall outside the scope of the table, please contact Ancon for design guidance.

 Threaded Inserts
Unicon
Threaded Inserts and Chairs
Ancon provides a wide range of threaded fixing points to be used in
precast panels.
QwikFoot threaded inserts provide a safe load transfer through a
forged head and thus do not require a crossbar to transfer loads.
QwikFix inserts are made from solid steel and have a cross hole. The
anchorage is provided by a crossbar being fed through this hole.
Ferrules are available with metric threads from M10 to M24, and
Unicoil threads UC16, in either zinc plated, hot-dip galvanised G350
steel or stainless steel grade 316.
Ancon provides nailing plates to safely attach the inserts to the
formwork and avoid ingress of concrete. Precast Chairs are available
to simplify the installation and keep the inserts in place while casting.

Applications
Cast-in, threaded inserts are used for two distinct applications in precast concrete elements:
The attachment of permanent structural fixtures
Metric threaded inserts with M12, M16 and M20 threads are used in combination with Grade 4.6 or 8.8 bolts.
The attachment of temporary braces and strongbacks

 Formwork and Magnets

QwikForm
QwikForm is an innovative, modular, feature-packed, aluminium formwork system that can save significant
time and labour by simplifying casting bed set up and rationalising formwork stocks.
A rigid freestanding system for use on steel casting beds, QwikForm provides significant advantages over traditional timber and steel formwork.
Available in three standard heights, extension pieces simply slide on/off the top of the unit to change panel thickness. A standard steel connection
plate joins units end-to-end while maintaining perfect alignment and a standard intersection piece allows right angle corners to be made at any point
along the QwikForm’s length. Reversible top and bottom profiles create either square or angled panel edges. Magnets in the base locate the unit in the
desired position while the QwikMag high strength clamp attaches to the side of the unit and magnetically locks to the bed to resist pressure during the
concrete pour.

Metric Threaded Bars

Metric Threaded Bars, otherwise known as Starter Bars, are used for joining wall panels to floor
panels, in addition to wall panels to mezzanine floors. The bars are suitable for use with QwikFoot
and QwikFix Threaded Inserts after the panels have been erected to join the floors.
Starter bars avoid post installed reinforcement bars and thus provide a cost-effective solution
avoiding labor costs on site.

Keybox Reinforcement
Continuity Systems
This system is a quick and easy method of
maintaining continuity of reinforcement at
construction joints in concrete. It comprises
a galvanised steel casing, with a dimpled
surface, which houses pre-bent bars beneath a
protective cover.
The unit is nailed to formwork. After pouring
the concrete and striking the formwork, the
cover is removed to expose the bars. The bars
are straightened using a Keybox re-bending
tool, ready for lapping with other reinforcement.

✔ Simplifies formwork design

✔ No drilling of formwork
✔ Minimises exposure to projecting bars
Bar embedment depth is 130mm as standard
(from front of casing); larger or smaller depths
are available on request.
Standard casing lengths are 1000mm and Full details of the standard Keybox range are available in the Ancon Reinforcement Continuity

Halfen HCC Column Shoe with
Halfen HAB Anchor Bolts
This system is a fast and efficient means
of connecting precast concrete columns
to foundations. It can also be used to form
continuous columns which have been prepared
as independent precast components.

The connection between the elements is

immediately load-bearing eliminating the need
for assembly braces.
Halfen HCC Column shoe
HAB Anchor Bolts are set into the foundation
slab using a fitting template. Concrete columns
are supplied to site ready to assemble, with
HCC Column Shoes cast into each base. The
elements are then mechanically connected
together and the recess is sealed with mortar
to complete the installation.

The HAB Anchor Bolt can be supplied as a

straight or bent bar, or as a headed anchor.

Seal Mortar
The full final load bearing capacity is only provided if the joint under the column is filled with

Ancon is the exclusive distributor of Halfen Anchor Channels in Australia. Brief details of the Halfen
products most commonly used by the precast industry are shown here. For more information, please
consult Halfen technical literature which is available to download from www.ancon.com.au or alternatively
discuss your project needs with an Ancon representative.

Halfen Anchor Channels

When fixing to concrete, Halfen Anchor Halfen channels are available in hot-dipped
Channels provide almost unlimited adjustment galvanised steel or stainless steel, depending
along the line of the channel and can eliminate on the level of corrosion resistance required.
expensive site drilling. Cast-in fixings do not
generate expansive forces in the concrete and
can be used at close centres and closer to
edges than expansion fixings. Halfen Anchor
Channels are suitable for use in cracked
concrete.
Headed anchors protruding from the back
of the channel provide a high performance
anchorage. Nail holes aid the fixing of the
channels to timber formwork and an infill
prevents the ingress of concrete during
casting.
Fixing to channels is by ‘T’ head bolts which
are inserted into the channel and turned
through 90º ready for fixing any structural
element.
In precast concrete construction, Anchor
Channels are ideal for use with connection
plates at panel-to-panel and panel-to-column
intersections. They can also be used to join
steelwork to concrete panels.

 CCL Pre-Stressing Accessories

Ancon is the approved distributor of CCL pre-stressing products and equipment.

CCL Products
CCL grips are accepted as the industry standard and represent more
than five decades of continuous development. All CCL components
are marked with their batch number in order to allow traceability.

Open Grips Barrels

and Wedges

Spring Loaded
Anchors

Double-ended joints

Open Grips Barrels and Wedges

Open grips should only be used at the
stressing end (live end) of the bed with a
hydraulic jack incorporating power lock-off.
If power lock-off is not available then spring-
loaded grips should be used. The wedges are
made up of two segments for use with wire
and three for use with strand.
Double-ended joints
DEJ/DEJ reducers can be used to connect
wire/strand together midspan. Where a
reducing joint is used, the pre-stressing
force should never exceed 80% of the
manufacturer’s specified minimum breaking
load for the smallest wire or strand being used.
Spring Loaded Anchors
Spring-loaded anchors or grips should always
be used at the non-stressing end of the bed.
They should also be used at the stressing end
where jacks without power lock-off are being
used.

CCL Equipment
CCL equipment is designed, manufactured and assembled with the same attention to detail as that used
in the production of its components. An experienced team, which also provides customer support on
technical issues, assembles, calibrates and certifies all equipment before despatch to the customer.

CCL Stressing Jacks
These have been the world’s leading jacks
for more than 50 years. First developed in the
1960s, they combine advanced design with
uncompromising quality to deliver the ultimate

Jacks are designed and assembled by CCL
engineers to the highest standards, offering
optimum safety and many years of reliable
operation.
Full technical records are maintained which
demonstrate compliance of equipment with
safety criteria, and the Company carries out
both traceability and cyclical pressure testing
on each jack, prior to release to the customer.
CCL Pumps
Using the best hydraulic components on
the market, CCL Pumps are built to provide
unrivalled performance and reliability. Each
has a full technical record to prove equipment
safety compliance requirements and are
checked for traceability and tested for pressure
before release to the customer.
