GROUTING AND ANCHORING

CIVIL ENGINEERING INTERFACE

When it comes to epoxy or cement grout systems for rail-mounted equipment tracks and runways, no one is more experienced than Gantrex. We offer effective solutions to support your runway with high-strength epoxy grout or non-shrink cementitious grout. Our range of Gantrex grouts fill the gaps between rail support steel plates and concrete structures. Our grouts are available for continuous or discontinuous soleplate systems and are designed to serve to anchor bolts in concrete foundations, a process known as anchoring. We help our clients select the most appropriate grout on performance, application parameters, purpose (grouting or anchoring), installation conditions and local product availability.

Impact absorption and steering forces
Superior distribution of dynamic loads into concrete

ANCHOR BOLT

The anchoring device is used to connect the rail steel supports to concrete foundations. Consisting of a bolt, washer, nut and adhesive, the standard anchor bolts are installed by drilling holes in the concrete deck, mixing the resin before filling the hole and inserting the anchor bolt. The mixed resin works as an adhesive, suspending the bolt in place until it cures to complete the process.  Anchor types are conditional on a range of varying factors including, but not limited to civil engineering constraints, performance or installation practices, and as such are provided in a range of steel grades and shapes and with varying adhesive products.

LEVELLING DEVICES

The type of levelling devices is also selected to best meet the needs of specific installation conditions and in doing so, enable a satisfactory adjustment of rail support to ensure that the track geometry is compliant with the relevant tolerances (FEM, VDI, CMAA, etc.)

Grouting

When it comes to selecting grout, there are 2 options available – cement grouts or expoxy resin based grouts. The correct grouting depends on a range of factors including mechanical and chemical properties, pouring characteristics and the procurement process.

ANCHOR BOLT SYSTEMS

The standard Anchor Bolt Assembly consists of a bolt, washer, nut and adhesive. There are a number of variables that impact the function of each track design, such as shape, dimension, steel grade, protective treatment and adhesive.

Working with our Technical teams, together we’ll devise a solution that works with the unique characteristics of your installation loads, and any specifics relating to your local conditions.

LEVELLING SYSTEMS

The most widely used levelling systems are those which use a levelling screw through tapped steel plate or where we see the levelling nut under the steel plate. The choice of which is highly dependent on accessibility. In some situations, re-levelling systems may also be considered.
