For more than twenty years Clan have provided their
clients with a complete service in the field of structural
engineering and remedial works to both the public and
private sectors. Contracts undertaken have been diverse,
from tower blocks and listed buildings to water
treatment works and local authority housing estates.
Since the early 1980’s, Clan have been at the forefront of remedial cavity
wall tie technology designing new remedial wall ties, the Kontrakt tie, lateral
restraint systems, the Clanbolt, and the unique isolation process for treatment
of corroding wall ties, the Clansleeve.
Over the years as we have been confronted with new problems within the
refurbishment industry, we have introduced innovative solutions designed in
conjunction with our structural engineers, with not just the specifier in mind,
but also the contractor. A good product not only overcomes the structural
problems but is simple to fix reducing operator error. All of our products are
designed in accordance with the basic principles that Clan adhere to; a quick,
simple and virtually unobtrusive repair.
In addition to our own range of structural fixings, Clan have brokered

relationships with many European companies, exchanging ideas enabling us
to introduce new methods of repair, such as Xypex crystalline waterproofing,
high strength concrete repair materials and the latest carbon fibre technology
for repairing structures.
Our range of services is continuing to grow with our sister company,

Thin Joint Technology, which supplies tools, fixings and mortars for
construction using thin jointed aerated blockwork. TJT also supply coloured
render systems, external wall insulation systems and decorative plasters.

LATERAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Lateral restraints are used to tie the external walls of a building to the internal floor
diaphragm and internal crosswalls. Where lateral restraints have been omitted they can
reduce the robustness of a building, resulting in bulging walls or possibly even collapse.
In new construction the provision of lateral restraint is covered by BS5628 Pt 2 1989. and
usually involves the introduction of a lightweight galvanised strap hooked into the cavity
and fixed to the joists. Crosswalls are generally bonded, or simply tied together using strip
ties.

LATERAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Lateral restraints were first widely used in this country with the introduction of the Building
Regulations third amendment in 1978. Many domestic and commercial buildings in the UK
were built without lateral restraint, leaving a legacy that we must now rectify.

CRACK CONTROL SYSTEMS
Masonry structures can move for many reasons; ground movement, thermal expansion,
corroded steel lintels, reinforcement, etc. This movement almost always results in cracking
of the masonry. The remedial treatments can be many and varied, from simple repointing
to full demolition and rebuilding of the affected areas.
Whilst demolition and rebuilding is arguably the most comprehensive solution, it is time
consuming, costly and when done in isolation can create more problems than it resolves.
For this reason, reinforcement of the problem areas can be the most satisfactory solution.

Before reinforcement of cracked masonry can be contemplated, the reasons for the cracking
must be diagnosed and rectified. This, however, may leave areas of cracked unsupported
masonry which must be repaired.
Clan products have devised a system of repair techniques which can be used to overcome
the problem of cracked masonry. Consideration should be given to the original construction
prior to designing the appropriate repair technique. ie. buildings constructed using lime
mortar should be repaired using lime grouts.

CLANBOLT AND BEAM FIX

The Clanbeam combines the Clanbolt lateral
restraint and Clan Cracktie to help improve
lateral stability where normal floor to wall
restraints cannot be used, such as stairwells
against gable walls.
The Crackties extend to at least within
1000mm diameter of Clanbolt utilising the
restraint effect of the Clanbolt thus producing
a bracing effect across the wall.

REMEDIAL AND MASONRY SUPPORT
For some years, standard building practice in many parts of the country utilised the
structural capacity of the window frames. The masonry outer leaf was laid directly on to
the window frame, omitting the lintels.
This type of construction is entirely satisfactory until such time that the windows are
replaced, causing two significant problems. Primarily the removal of the window frame
will result in the probable collapse of the brickwork whilst the frame has been removed.
A secondary, but much overlooked problem, is that the new frames are not generally
capable of supporting the load exerted by the brickwork, especially when the new
windows have transom features.
Consideration should be given to both of these problems when specifying the lintel
system. The Clan 3608 System overcomes both these short and long term deficiencies.
LINTEL SUPPORT 3608

Grade A2 stainless steel channel section
specially designed to fit within most masonry
bed joints, together with integral polypropylene
sliding friction hangers and Clan GP3 two part
polyester resin. The support system is
complemented where necessary by the addition
of Grade 304 stainless steel reinforcing rods,
embedded in two part polyester resin.
The Clan 3608 Lintel Support system is used to
enhance the load bearing capabilities of
brickwork above an opening where the original
lintel has failed under load, or has been
omitted during construction. The sliding friction
hangers are located in the stainless steel
channel and within the perpend bed joint prior
to being resin fixed into the perpend joints
using Clan GP3 resin.
SPECIFICATION
The Clan 3608 Lintel Repair System comprises
of 16swg cold rolled grade A2 stainless steel
channel section which is less than 8mm thick
and polypropylene sliding friction hangers.
The support system is complemented where
necessary with the addition of a secondary
stainless steel fixing - PL tie.
APPLICATION
The Clan 3608 Lintel Support System is used to
enhance the load bearing capabilities of
brickwork above an opening where the original
lintel has failed under load, or has been
omitted during construction.
PERFORMANCE
The Clan 3608 Lintel Support System is used in
conjunction with Clan SF resin or GT4
cementitious grout, depending on the type of
construction. All lintel systems are designed by
our engineers, so please contact Clan Products

REMEDIAL AND MASONRY SUPPORT
ARCH SUPPORT
Adaptation of the 3608 support system, including the
insertion of corbel ties, Clanstitch, Cracktie etc, can be
utilised to repair masonry arch structures, such as road
and rail bridges.
Installation of the above techniques minimises the need
for rebuilding, preserving the aesthetics of the facade
which becomes of paramount concern when dealing
with historic or listed structures. Disruption to road and
rail services is also reduced to a minimum.
In addition to the installation of Crackties etc, masonry
arch and barrel vaulted structures can be repaired with
the use of carbon fibre technology (see Mapewrap and
Carboplate on page 24 and 25).

WALL TIE SYSTEMS
Traditionally horizontal cracking of every 5 mortar joints was a good indication of wall tie
failure. The cracking is caused by “fishtail” wall ties corroding, expanding in size and
lifting panels of brickwork. A building which has wall ties in this advanced state of
corrosion has already been affected structurally and rebuilding of the outer leaf may be
the best course of action.
Installation of wall ties into a structure should be used as a preventative measure before
distortion of the brickwork has occurred.
Unfortunately it is virtually impossible to pinpoint the precise moment a building will
begin to move. Movement would usually be due to a force being applied to the wall and
the wall ties, whether due to corrosion, omission, poor design, bad workmanship or
failure, all causing bulging of the wall, or in more extreme cases, collapse.

WALL TIES
Cavity wall tie corrosion is a problem which only became recognised and documented in the
mid 1980's. Clan were already a leader in the field of wall tie replacement by 1984 and have
since been at the forefront of product development and in producing the first Code of
Practice for the installation of replacement wall ties.
Metal wall ties used in cavity wall construction over the past 70 years have been
inadequately protected from corrosion and the resultant effects have caused structural
defects. These defects, horizontal cracking, bulging of walls or stepped cracking around
openings have now been recognised as common occurrences which had hitherto been
unexplained.

DRILL 10.5mm

WALL TIES
To ensure the correct tie is used, a survey of the structure is essential to identify the existing
makeup of the wall, i.e. type of inner/outer leaf cavity width etc. Include testing to check for
correct tie type.
Before specifying the density and spacing, wall ties should conform to BS 5628 Pt3 1982.
Testing throughout the contract is essential to ensure the quality of workmanship and to
ensure any changes encountered in the fabric of the buildings are noted, so that the correct
remedial action can be taken.
Testing loads should be applied to the remote leaf only, with at least 5% of ties tested.
GRIPTIE
(Brick to concrete)

WALL TIES
PANEL TIE
(Concrete frame to concrete panel)
Many concrete frame structures have
prefabricated panels attached to the outside of
the buildings. These panels are fixed to the
frame by steel pins or frame cramps.
Fixings can fail due to corrosion, poor design or
bad workmanship.
The panel tie has been designed as a remedial
fixing, when failure of these fixings has been
diagnosed. The system combines a large tie
which suspends the panel and second fixing
counteracts the lever arm and triangulates the
system resulting in a strong economic fix.
CLANSLEEVE
The addition of new remedial wall ties to stabilise
the outer leaf is insufficient on its own where
solid fishtail ties exist, as continued corrosion will
result in further disruption of the wall.
Insitu isolation of the existing wall tie was
endorsed in BRE Digest 329. This treatment
consisted of isolating the wall tie from the outer
leaf of brickwork, using a simple and inexpensive
method, patented by Clan. This method
consisted of installing a PVC sleeve, containing a
rust inhibiting compound over the end of the
wall tie in the outer leaf and is widely recognised
as the most economical way to treat existing ties

WATERPROOFING
Preventing the ingress of water into structures can be at best problematic and at worst
catastrophic.
The following pages provide solutions to the many and varied problems of waterproofing
brick and concrete structures, whether it be a retaining wall or an expansion joint in a
reservoir.
MAPELASTIC
Two-part flexible cement mortar for waterproof protection
of concrete swimming-pools and balconies.
Use Mapelastic to provide a highly flexible
waterproof coating to concrete structures
particularly those subject to cracking.
Mapelastic seals hairline cracks in
substrates.
Mapelastic can be used on surfaces
permanently in contact with
drinking water.
Mapelastic is supplied as
two pre-measured
components that
must be mixed
together without
the addition of
water or other
ingredients. The mortar that is obtained is

applied with a trowel onto perfectly clean and
solid surfaces that have been previously
dampened with water. It is possible to apply
layers up to 2mm thick in a single coat.
When applying to surfaces that are particularly
stressed or crazed, it is essential to embed a
square-grid fibreglass mesh.
IDROSILEX PRONTO
Ready-to-use heavy-duty waterproofing
cementitious mortar.
Use Idrosilex Pronto to waterproof foundations,
walls, cellars, basements, lift-rooms, swimming
pools, canals and reservoirs.
Formulated from cement binders and special
waterproofing additives, Idrosilex Pronto is
prepared by mixing a 25 kg bag with 6 - 6.25
litres of clean water.
Idrosilex Pronto can be applied with a brush,
trowel or spray. For application, apply 2-3 coats
to the perfectly cleaned and solid substrate
which must be thoroughly soaked with water
beforehand. When applying by trowel, reduce
the mixing water to 5 - 6 litres for each bag.

WATERPROOFING
MAPEBAND
Polyester reinforced rubber tape for the flexible sealing
and waterproofing of internal and external expansion
joints.
For sealing and waterproofing joints to walls and floors
of baths, showers, terraces, balconies
etc., that are to be tiled with ceramic
tiles, marble or natural stones.
Mapeband can be used with
any type of substrate: concrete,
wood, plasterboard, etc.
LAMPOSILEX
Hydraulic binder with ultra fast setting and drying for
plugging water leaks.
Use Lamposilex to plug any source of water, even
under pressure, in basements, tunnels, subways etc.
and for sealing waterproof rigid joints in hydraulic
concrete structures, sewers, tanks and canals. Where
seepage is present, Lamposilex must be used before
waterproofing with Idrosilex Pronto.
Once mixed with water Lamposilex forms a paste with
a plastic consistency that sets in about 2 minutes.
Preparing the mix: pour 1 kg of Lamposilex into a
bucket containing 280 grams of water, while mixing
very vigorously with a hand trowel until a
homogeneous paste is obtained.
For measures by volume, mix 2.5 parts of Lamposilex
with 1 part water. Immediately apply the Lamposilex
using a gloved hand.
FOAMJET T
High viscosity ultra rapid setting two-component
polyurethane resin to be injected for consolidating and
waterproofing structures subject to high pressure
water ingress.
Use Foamjet T for all waterproofing works of cracked
concrete and masonry structures, such as tunnels,
shafts, dams, canals, bulkheads, floorings or beds
subject to strong water ingress.
Foamjet T is a two-component halogen free resin that
must be used with special machinery that is able to
measure and mix Part A with Part B in a 1:1 ratio by
volume.
Thanks to the high fluidity of Foamjet T, the product
can penetrate through fissures of only several hundred
microns and seals the cracks even if they are subject to
water infiltrations. Once set, Foamjet T becomes
perfectly waterproof and ensures an effective
consolidation of the treated structure.

MAPEFER
Rust inhibitor for reinforcing rods.
Mapefer is a mixture of polymers in water dispersion,
cement binders and corrosion inhibitors to apply on
reinforcing rods when repairing concrete.
Mapefer is applied by brush to the rods which must be
free of grease and loose particles. The rods must be
cleaned beforehand by needle gunning or
sand-blasting. After Mapefer has dried (minimum 4
hours), a repair mortar can be applied.
MAPEGROUT T40 (40 MPa)

Controlled-shrinkage fibre-reinforced grout for the repair
of concrete.
Use Mapegrout T40 for all concrete repairs such as:
reconstruction, coverings over reinforcement, repairs of
corners of beams, columns and balconies damaged by
rusted reinforcing rods.
Due to its high mechanical strength and adhesion,
Mapegrout T40 can be used for structural repairs. Made
from cement binders, graded aggregate, special additives
and synthetic fibres. Mapegrout T40 is prepared by
mixing a 25 kg bag with 3.9 - 4.3 litres of water.
Mapegrout T40 is applied with trowel, float or spray
onto solid substrates, which must be free of loose matter,
have a rough surface and been soaked with water
beforehand. Mapegrout T40 can repair thicknesses up to
30-35mm, in one single coat without using formwork.
MAPEGROUT FAST SET (40 MPa)

Controlled-shrinkage, fibre-reinforced mortar, with
rapid setting and hardening for the repair of concrete.
Use Mapegrout Fast Set to repair degraded concrete
surfaces such as balconies and the edges of beams and
pillars. Mapegrout Fast Set is composed of special
hydraulic binders, selected aggregate, special additives
and synthetic fibres, and is prepared by mixing a 25 kg
bag with 3.5 - 3.75 litres of water.
Mapegrout Fast Set must be applied within 10 minutes
of preparation, by trowel onto a solid and clean
substrate, which has been previously soaked with
water. Apply up to a maximum thickness of 20-25mm
per layer.
Mapegrout Fast Set sets within 30-40 minutes at
+20°C.

CONCRETE REPAIR
MAPEGROUT HI-FLOW (75 MPa)

Controlled-shrinkage fibre-reinforced fluid grout for
concrete repair.
Use Mapegrout Hi-Flow for all concrete repairs that
require the use of fluid mortars, such as reinforced
concrete beams, columns and floors. Made from cement
binders, graded aggregate, special additives and synthetic
fibres, Mapegrout Hi-Flow is prepared by mixing a 25 kg
bag with 3.6 - 4 litres of water, depending on the
consistency required. The mix is poured into sealed
framework, but care must be taken to let air escape in
order to prevent air-bubbles.
Thicknesses up to 2 cm can be repaired with Mapegrout
Hi-Flow. For greater thicknesses, the addition of an
appropriate grade of aggregate is recommended.
MONOFINISH (20 MPa)

Single-component cement based mortar with normal
setting for smoothing concrete.
Monofinish is recommended for smoothing surface
imperfections of concrete pours and smoothing the surface
of concrete repaired with mortars of the Mapegrout
product line.
Monofinish mixed with clean water forms a plastic easily
trowellable mortar to be applied on substrates that are
solid, compact, and free of oils, form release agents or
other deleterious substances. Any old paint must be
completely removed.
Before applying Monofinish the surface must be
completely saturated with water. Pour a 22 kg bag of
Monofinish into approx. 4 litres of clean water. Monofinish
can be used for thicknesses up to 2 - 3 mm per coat.
Monofinish can be finished with a damp sponge float and
then painted.
ELASTOCOLOR
Elastocolour is an elastomeric anticarbonation coating,
used for the protection of concrete structures which are
subject to hairline cracking.
Elastocolour is a elastomeric anticarbonation paint.
Once dry, Elastocolour forms an elastic membrane which
is impermeable to water and protects against aggressive
atmospheric agents (CO2 - SO2), but is vapour
permeable. Elastocolour has excellent resistance to
ageing, freeze/thaw cycles and de-icing salts.
CARBON FIBRE
Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) are widely used in the construction industry to repair
damaged or deteriorated structures, or to upgrade the static loading of a structure.
The use of conventional materials involves operational problems and doubts over long
term durability. In this respect the use of high performance FRPs in repair work becomes
more economical than the use of conventional materials, especially when variables such
as fire, equipment, interruption costs and estimated whole life costs are taken into
consideration.
Examples of use of FRPs:
External wrapping of axially loaded Local repair of structures damaged by
elements such as columns, pillars, bridge impact.
piers and chimneys. Reinforcement of masonry arches by the
Reinforcement of beams. application of Carboplate to either the
extrados or intrados.
CARBON FIBRE FABRICS

Balanced high strength bidirectional carbon fibre fabrics.
Both Mapewrap C BI-AX (Bi-directional) and Mapewrap C
UNI-AX (Uni-directional) are characterised by a high modulus
of elasticity and very high tensile strength, and are suitable for
repairing reinforced concrete structures damaged by physical
mechanical action, for confinement of axial loaded concrete
MAPEWRAP C BI-AX elements, and for seismic strengthening in earthquake areas.
Additionally, Mapewrap C BI-AX improves flexural and sheer
strength of structure.
Fabrics can be placed using two different methods: the wet
system and the dry system using a specific and complete range
of epoxy resins composed of Mapewrap Primer 1 to prime the

without leaving any wrinkles.
ADESILEX PG1
Thixotropic epoxy adhesive for structural bonding.
PG1 is a two-part product, based on epoxy resins, special hardeners,
selected fine aggregate and special additives.
PG1 hardens in a few hours by chemical reaction alone, without
shrinkage, becoming a compound with exceptional adhesion and
mechanical resistance.
PG1 can be used for strengthening structural elements such as bonding
carboplate to concrete, rigid structural bonding of precast concrete
elements and sealing large cracks.
Adesilex PG1 can also be used as a repair mortar prior to the
installation of FRPs.
