scissorsafe two part void former

Scissorsafe Void former

scissorsafe two part void former

The Scissorsafe Void Former is an expendable plastic cast-in component used to form anchorage points in precast or insitu poured concrete. The void former consist of two parts. A 35 mm diameter circular disk is nailed or screwed to horizontal formwork in pre-designed locations. After that a tee shaped mould is pushed firmly onto the disk to form an inverted void in the concrete.

Scissorsafe anchors are inserted and deployed in this void when fall arrest or work restraint anchorage is required. The unique nature of this anchorage system means that the anchor isn’t relying own friction to support the fall arrest system connected to it. Upon completion of the structure, Void formers can be closed off with grout or covered with a Scissorsafe plastic cover cap. These are generally used to disguise void former holes when the anchorage point is to be used for maintenance or repair work.

Scissorsafe fall arrest anchor

Scissorsafe is an anchorage system designed specifically to prevent falls from height during the construction of concrete structures. This personal fall protection anchor is unique because it deploys into concrete voids that are cast using Scissorsafe void formers (product code SSAN002).

A Cast-in anchor system incorporated into the design of the structure offers safety and economical benefits by removing the need to drill for anchor points or load-test friction reliant anchors before a safety system can be connected to them. Anchor points are a vital part of a personal fall protection system. they are the critical component that connect Lifelines, Lanyards, Fall Arrestors and Rescue Kits to the permanent structure.

Scissorsafe anchorage points are created by nailing a two part plastic mould insert onto the horizontal formwork which when removed reveals overhead anchorage points. Scissorsafe anchor tools have a unique mechanical action that opens within the concrete void and is locked by the karabiner on the connecting device.

Scissorsafe anchorage devices are economical as they are reusable throughout the project. Concrete drilling is eliminated reducing working at height, dust, noise and time. The system is certified to BS EN795 class B- portable anchorages, independently assessed under strict conditions to comply with the requirements of European Conformity.

Post drilled reusable anchor connector - Persoal fall protection UK

Post drilled reusable anchor connector certified according to EN795, used for fall arrest and work restraint systems as personal fall protection. Zinc plated reusable connection hanger to mount with Non-reusable expansion anchor (product code SSAN008). This anchor connector is used with a non-reusable expansion anchor as part of a two-component post-drilled anchor. It is designed for solid concrete slabs to provide an anchorage point for single-user lanyards or fall arrestors, or in pairs to form anchorage at the end of running-lines (temporary horizontal lifeline) when used for work restraint.

This anchor device is designed to be used on horizontal, vertical and sloping surfaces and is suitable as a replacement for a Scissorsafe anchorage device when a cast-in void former has been omitted or cast unsuccessfully. This anchor is designed for personal fall protection and should only be used with or as part of a work restraint or fall arrest system. We strongly recommend that you load-test any friction anchor before attaching a personal safety system to it. For more advice please refer to product code SCSHYD for load-testing advice.

Expansion thread anchor for fall arrest and work restraint systems

Post drilled expansion thread anchor for fall arrest and work restraint systems. This is a non-reusable expansion anchor thread which is used to fix the post drilled reusable connector (product code SSAN009). The connector provide an anchorage point for single-user lanyards or fall arrestors, or in pairs to form end anchor points at the end of running-lines (temporary horizontal lifelines) when used for in a temporary work restraint system. This fixing is inserted into a 12 mm diameter drilled hole in a concrete slab and when secured holds the post-drilled reusable connector.
