Installation Training

680.06 Competency and Training of Personnel – Allfasteners Has You Covered From VicRoads Section 680.06:

“The bonded anchor installer shall be certified by the Australian Engineered Fasteners and

Anchors Council (AEFAC), or shall be able to provide evidence of competency acceptable to

the Superintendent.

All personnel who are required to install bonded anchors shall be AEFAC certified installers or

be trained by the supplier of the bonded anchor system in the specific installation requirements

of the project before bonded anchor installation commences.”

Allfasteners are qualified, as the supplier, to train your staff in correct installation of our products. An individual who passes will be issued with a proof of competency – a card that includes their name and photograph, as well as evidence of their newly-acquired certification.

LOAD TESTING OF INSTALLED BONDED ANCHORSFrom VicRoads Section 680.09:

It is a requirement that after installation, all or a percentage of bonded anchors are tested to confirm their performance.

Allfasteners can assist with testing, reporting and supply of equipment, to ensure that their clients comply with the following critical excerpts from VicRoads Section 680:

“Bonded anchors shall be tested using testing equipment that has been calibrated as a

minimum, on an annual basis at the required intervals in accordance with AS 2193…

…reporting the findings including the different possible modes of failure.”

The proof load shall be maintained for a minimum period of 60 seconds.”

Allfasteners is also Australia’s leading supplier of Hydrajaws pull testing equipment, and we have become closely-acquainted with proper use of the machines as well as the use of Bluetooth gauges for easy and quick reporting. We use this equipment to test our chemical anchor products in Australian concrete, in addition to ETA certifica-tion, prior to their launch to the market. And in the case of VicRoads Section 680, we know via this that our products comply.
