MAC.RO™ SYSTEM - T-FAST

REINFORCED ROPE ANCHOR
T-FAST Anchors are used in rockfall protection works
whenever the direction of the pull-out forces is variable or
inclined to the axis of the anchor. They are commonly used
for top anchors on drapery systems and flexible structural
facings using meshes. T-FAST anchors are also used for the
foundations of rockfall and debris flow barriers, and for snow
fences.
The T-FAST anchors are tested according to EAD 331852-00-
0102: for determining the anchor minimum breaking load, at
least n.03 samples for each diameter of spiral cable anchor
must be tested. Each test is carried out connecting both the
anchor ends to the traction testing machine and it ends with
the rupture of the sample.
The corrosion protection and construction of T-FAST anchors
guarantee extreme durability and high tensile resistance to
demanding loads and harsh environmental conditions (ice,
snow, mine works, aggressive environments).
