EUROFOX project specific assesment with installation drawing
We can create a “project specific” assessment for your scheme – including static calculations.
We can provide an installation plan and a EUROFOX components schedule.

EUROFOX static analysis


■ Primary fixing dimensions in accordance with local authority regulations and
local pull out testing (primary fixing)
■ Verification of flexible points (dynamic load / pressure) and fixed points
(deadload, cladding and windloads)
■ Verification of profiles

Verification of sliding points GP - S V 40


Verification of anchor points 1x FP - M /2 V 40
