Precast balconies with shortened tensile bars for a more compact transport volume
Thermal break Egcobox® with Coupler system threaded bar connection
Optimised Transport and Installation Conditions for Balcony Slabs
To improve the efficiency of transporting balcony slabs from the precast plant to the construction site, the component dimensions can be significantly reduced. For this purpose, the tension bars of the Egcobox® cantilever connectors are produced in a shortened version using MAX FRANK Coupler screw connections. The bolted reinforcement extensions are then installed directly on site – enabling flexible logistics and simplified installation.

Precast balconies: combination Egcobox® and MAX FRANK Coupler
Improved delivery and installation conditions for precast balconies
How to:
- Our Technical Department designs the Egcobox® elements in accordance with the required design loadings and balcony geometry.
- The Egcobox® balcony connectors are delivered to the precast plant, where they are placed and cast into the concrete.
- Delivery to the building site with shortened tensile bars – that reduces the transport volume.
- The balcony slab is positioned and the tensile bar extensions are screwed on.
- The floor slab is poured.
Detailed planning requires coordination between the structural engineer and MAX FRANK Application Engineering.
We recommend
