How does SPEC2SITE work?
SPEC2SITE improves every step of the construction workflow by connecting design specifications with the jobsite, to enable precise installations.
It covers structural connections, MEP support systems, fire protection and more to deliver value across the project.
The four key elements of Spec2SITE are:
路听听听听听听听 Higher performing hardware matched with the right design methods
路听听听听听听听 Design software and design-related services
路听听听听听听听 Digital content for on-demand and live learning through our Engineering Centre
路听听听听听听听 On-site support through our direct sales and engineering teams
Georgina Booth, Northern Europe Product Manager at 海角社区, says: 鈥淲ith SPEC2SITE we've created a brand that lets our customer understand the full value of working with us from specification to jobsite.鈥
听鈥淚f a customer adopts our SPEC2site solutions in the design stage it means working with us to ensure their specifications are higher performing, value engineered, bringing them more peace of mind, and helping them be more sustainable.鈥
鈥淚f a customer adopts our spec2SITE solutions in the installation phase it means working with us to help their installation be faster, safer, simpler, and more sustainable鈥
鈥淧ut simply, we want to help make our customers work be more productive, safer, and more sustainable.鈥
What does that mean in practice?
SPEC2SITE is a new level of value engineering in construction. It lets you improve your workflow by connecting the design to the job site.
By using pre-determined components, you can optimise your project, save money and reduce waste at all stages. We make this happen for our customers using our leading innovations in hardware, software, and approvals.
We provide you with a portfolio of chemical and mechanical anchoring solutions that have been approved across a wide range of loading and job site conditions. They are designed to:
路听听听听听听听 Bear high static and seismic loads
路听听听听听听听 Work in cracked concrete indoors and outdoors
路听听听听听听听 Help eliminate spinning issues with anti-spin expansion cones
Faster, simpler, safer
We provide a range of tool solutions which make working on site faster, simpler and safer 鈥 saving you time and money on the job, for example:
路听听听听听听听 Combining hollow drill bits and vacuums to reduce cleaning time and speed up installation
路听听听听听听听 Adaptive torque system to make work simple on fastening applications
路听听听听听听听 Dispensing tools that ensure the right amount of adhesive is used for safe, low-waste installations.
Value engineered designs
Our user-friendly PROFIS Engineering Suite design software helps you automatically optimise the design of a structural baseplate in PROFIS Engineering using our Smart Design tool to reduce the steel needed.
Other advantages include:
路听听听听听听听 Assistance designing substructures with optimal load-to-weight ratios
路听听听听听听听 Decrease in the total number of required components
路听听听听听听听 Reduced weight, cost and carbon footprint of your project elements
More sustainable structural connections
You can cut waste by up to 30% with our cordless adhesive anchor dispenser which allows you to reduce your CO2 emissions and material use by downsizing baseplate dimensions and anchor sizes.
These benefits cover a range of applications, including:
路听听听听听听听 Baseplates
路听听听听听听听 Rebar
路听听听听听听听 Strengthening
路听听听听听听听 Fa莽ades
路听听听听听听听 Decking
路听听听听听听听 Timber
We can also help you optimise your application鈥檚 load-to-weight calculations to further reduce your CO2 emissions, and give you access to a full library of environmental product declarations (EPDs) to support your green building certification.
Support systems
You can utilise our support systems across a range of applications so that designers and installers can benefit from faster, simpler and safer job site practices in the following areas:
路听听听听听听听 Mechanical/HVAC
路听听听听听听听 Electrical
路听听听听听听听 Plumbing and piping
路听听听听听听听 Multidiscipline MEP
路听听听听听听听 Substructures
路听听听听听听听 Platforms and pathways
With over 1,200 engineers and technical professionals around the world, we offer services, training and assistance to help you design and install all those systems perfectly.
Fire protection
Our approach to firestop solutions also includes simpler and more intuitive installation methods, and are suitable for various applications.
路听听听听听听听 MEP penetrations
路听听听听听听听 Construction joints听
路听听听听听听听 Fa莽ade and curtain walls
路听听听听听听听 Steel protection
Our design services help you specify firestop solutions for MEP penetrations that are code-compliant with lower total cost of ownership.
In addition, we provide a portfolio of dry and wet firestop solutions for mechanical, electrical and multi-trade penetration openings 鈥 including a wide range of fire-rated approvals that also feature attributes for watertightness, acoustics and movement capabilities.
And with dry preformed solutions there are fewer installation steps compared to other solutions.
When our customers adopt our SPEC2SITE solutions we're confident we can be their best partner for productivity, safety, and sustainability.听
