BCJ evaluation acquisition Vertical self-weight support wire method_ All threads to wire!
Replace the vertical self-weight support with a fully threaded one, allowing for construction with wire. With overwhelming workability and weight reduction, the efficiency of the entire process is improved, enhancing productivity.
Traditionally, it has been common to use fully threaded rods for vertical load-bearing supports; however, in this method, by selecting an appropriate wire diameter according to the weight of the supported material, you can use wire as a vertical load-bearing support instead of fully threaded rods. This method has obtained a general evaluation from the Building Center of Japan (hereinafter referred to as "BCJ") as the "Gripple Wire System - Vertical Load Support Method" (BCJ Evaluation - SS0062-1). Additionally, if seismic support is required, conventional seismic support construction must be carried out in accordance with the seismic design and construction guidelines for building equipment.

basic information
Recently, there has been a decrease in the construction labor force, leading to an increased demand for labor-saving and efficiency-enhancing methods in building equipment construction. On the other hand, in relation to the SDGs, the construction industry is also being called upon to implement environmentally friendly practices. An innovative construction method that contributes to solving these challenges is Gripple's vertical self-weight support wire method. 1. Lightweight components: When comparing the weight of the all-thread (M10) used in conventional methods with that of Gripple wire (2 mm diameter) at the same length, the weight of Gripple wire is about 3% of that of the all-thread. This reduction in component weight not only enhances the efficiency and safety of work in building equipment construction, which primarily involves high-altitude tasks, but also significantly reduces the costs associated with transporting and storing materials on site. 2. Contribution to CO2 emission reduction: By replacing all-thread with wire, the amount of iron used is greatly reduced. Consequently, the CO2 emissions during the manufacturing of each component are also reduced to about 3% of that of the all-thread. Additionally, the reduction in weight leads to decreased transportation frequency to the site, allowing for a reduction in CO2 emissions from vehicles. 3. Reduced construction time: All components are provided in kits so that construction can begin immediately on site. No prior preparation, such as component processing, is necessary, and there is no waste material to dispose of. The construction process is simple, making it easy for anyone to carry out the installation.
