Bamtec is a system of steel reinforcement for flat concrete slabs developed in Germany for which Hy-Ten, one of the UK’s major reinforcement manufacturers, is the exclusive supplier in the UK and Ireland. The system offers significant savings in steel, manpower and time, allowing contracts to proceed more efficiently. Bamtec integrates finite element design of the required structural reinforcement of concrete floor slabs with robotic manufacture to produce a series of bespoke reinforcement carpets which are then rolled out on site. The manufacturing data is transferred directly to the automated plant where each re-bar is welded onto steel tapes in the precise position required. Each carpet is identity tagged for correct sequential location in the floor slab reinforcement. http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/hy-ten.htm Business/Construction_and_Maintenance/Materials_and_Supplies/Concrete/Reinforcement/ Ainsworth Maguire http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss en-gb Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:08:33 +0000 pr@ainsmag.co.uk Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:07:59 +0000 pr@ainsmag.co.uk FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.1.0) http://www.feedforall.com http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/newsimages/hy246/hy-ten_logo.gif http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/hy-ten.htm Bamtec is a system of steel reinforcement for flat concrete slabs 129 46 Structural concrete steel reinforcement supplier, Hy-Ten, a pioneer in the use of friction welded couplers in the UK, has extended the range to include positional couplers. The new couplers have been fully tested and certified by CARES, the certification authority for reinforcement steel. http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/4960hy1a-positional-coupler.htm CE04E691-F97E-4512-950D-B9D9271145CC Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:07:59 +0000 The rapid construction of one of the largest concrete frame structures in the UK was aided by the use of Bamtec, an off-site fabricated steel carpet of floor slab reinforcement. Construction of the Forth Valley Royal Hospital involved the collaboration of many contractors and the application of innovative approaches to the construction. Bamtec, manufactured exclusively by Hy-Ten in the UK, contributed to the on-time completion of the frame and reduced the carbon footprint of the project. http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/4764hy1a-forth-valley-hospital.htm AA9F1F9D-716E-4E79-B686-2F8166D27402 Mon, 23 May 2011 17:03:53 +0100 Contractor, Wates Construction, has delivered both Barnfield South Academy and Barnfield West Academy to time. The two £30 million developments used Hy-Ten’s innovative roll out concrete reinforcement system, Bamtec, to speed concrete floor construction. http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/4799hy1a-bamtec.htm C383ABED-3694-442E-87F8-11C90C29096A Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:00:04 +0100 To win time on the construction of Heathrow’s new Terminal 2 building, main contractors Laing O’Rourke and engineers HETCo turned to Hy-Ten, suppliers of the Bamtec rollout steel reinforcement system. Under a four million pound contract, Hy-Ten has supplied reinforcement for the concrete aprons that form the basis of the new building. http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/4846hy1a-heathrow-t2.htm 703A924D-15ED-4489-A557-83923396D364 Tue, 8 Mar 2011 16:32:43 +0000 Steel reinforcement specialist Hy-Ten has set a new standard in the coupling of re-bar with the UK’s first ever fully approved friction welded coupler. Using high tech friction-welding technology, widely used in aerospace and automotive industries, the HT Welded Coupler offers better productivity, enhanced structural performance and cost savings. http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/4802hy1a-welded-coupler.htm AD960652-F284-4C3E-AD76-DBB2B80DD45C Fri, 19 Nov 2010 14:53:57 +0000 Winter weather is a curse to contractors. Anderson Construction, a reinforced concrete frame specialist, has overcome this problem. Using the Bamtec system for the concrete floor slab reinforcement from Hy-Ten in a development for Bellway at Tower Hamlets, they managed to sustain programme momentum to complete the framework on-time. http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/4801hy1a-space-one.htm C2D59E70-BF92-40CA-86AF-5BDA6FC96EA6 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 16:21:32 +0100 For a second year, concrete reinforcement specialist Hy-Ten has been awarded ISO14001:2004 accreditation for its nine UK manufacturing sites. Recognised as the gold standard in environmental performance, the award requires companies to reduce their environmental impact in all areas of the business. This involves looking at all material and energy inputs to the business, all waste streams and all internal processes so that carbon dioxide emissions, energy use and materials going to landfill are all continuously reduced. http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/4798hy1a-iso14001.htm F6E07880-3589-4AD5-B73D-A89E0CD70BE3 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:09:24 +0100 Steel reinforcement specialist Hy-Ten, has achieved sales of 10,000 tonnes for their innovative Bamtec floor slab reinforcement system this year, roughly equivalent to their record breaking year of 2007. This represents a real increase in market share for Bamtec in a sector that some commentators estimate has shrunk by 40 percent. http://www.ainsmag.co.uk/hy246/4754hy1a-bamtec.htm DB2E3724-AD4F-4321-9BE7-D407260DCC93 Wed, 2 Dec 2009 17:53:53 +0000
