Prestressing anchor

Tie-rod systems frequently manufactured by MODERSOHN in the field of building renovation, where forces are applied in a certain direction during installation by means of screwing and tensioning devices, without corresponding counterforces already being present at that time. This is the case, for example, with weir walls on watercourses, where the secured walls must absorb the loads even at higher water levels. Similar prestressing anchor systems are required in bridge construction in particular, which are only later loaded by vehicle traffic.
