Freyssinet has been implementing Freyssibar® systems since 2005. The range is engineered to meet all the needs and challenges facing the construction industry, from the most standard cases through to the most demanding applications.
We provide end-to-end services, including design studies, in-house manufacturing, installation, inspection and maintenance, or sale only depending on your needs.
Mobile couplers are used to connect two bars together on their main run. The duct is adapted by the coupler to provide unhindered movement during tensioning.
A fixed coupler is used to extend a prestressing unit already under tension by screwing a coupler to the end of the bar protruding from the anchor. In this case, the coupler barely moves during tensioning. A special cap is used to ensure a continuous duct.
The anchors are designed to anchor the force in the bar and transfer it to the structure.
The flat anchors, used in most cases, consist of a straight nut, a washer and an anchor plate. A groove in the anchor plate allows the injection product to circulate between the duct and the cap.
Spherical anchors compensate for perpendicular alignment issues between the bar axis and the bearing surface when used on existing structures: up to 3° for type 1, other cases for type 2.
The alkaline nature of the grout renders the steels into a passive state. It produces bonded prestressing.
It is used for unbonded prestressing, so that the residual prestressing force can be checked over time. The bar can be re-tensioned or replaced if necessary.
It can be used for external prestressing. Thanks to the compact design, the bars can be introduced in small holes.
The protected bar is positioned directly in the rebar arrangement and equipped with its embedded anchor. It is often used to anchor a metal structure to a solid concrete foundation. The compact design allows for easier fitting into a dense reinforcement.
Depending on your needs, we can advise on the suitability of the bar prestressing solution for your project and its integration into your project, carry out structural studies and design the Freyssibar® solution. All this with our in-house team of specialists.
All Freyssibar® components are engineered, produced and controlled by FPC (Freyssinet Products Company) industrial division, which is ISO 9001 (quality), 14001 (environment) and 45001 (health & safety) certified. All check points are defined internally, and FPC issues a certificate of conformity for each product supplied.
Our systems can only be installed by qualified teams to ensure the highest quality and safety. The specific site equipment is generally provided by us to ensure its correct maintenance and calibration.
Additional services for preassembly and injection of the prestressing bar system in factory, can give valuable gain of time during site works.
As a solution provider, we are keen to include site inspection, instrumentation and monitoring, maintenance and structural repair in our offer.
