CINTEC America Offers Earth Retaining Wall and Ground Anchoring System
Share:
CINTEC America of Baltimore, MD, a world leader in the field of structural masonry retrofit strengthening, repair, and preservation, uses its earth retaining stabilization system to tie back historically sensitive walls or in difficult situations where the historic nature of the project has to be preserved. In 1983, the first such application involved the use of Seadoos anchors to tie back a protective sea wall in Florida. Highly versatile, this stabilizing system offers a solution tailored to meet the specific requirements of each structure.
For more than 20 years, CINTEC America has offered this innovative technology to stabilize and restore structures around the world, including historical landmarks, harbor and sea walls, museums, churches, and bridges. CINTEC's earth retaining wall and ground anchoring system is ideal for many difficult ground conditions, including sand, gravel, clay, limestone, as well as broken brick and stone.
The process begins with an inspection of the structure by the client's engineer who accesses the problem and then passes on all relevant details to Cintec for review. Cintec then provides suggestions to the client, while remaining sensitive to the original structure and ground conditions. At the site, ground anchors provide stability, while voids and gaps within the structure are bridged using a cement-like grout.
