Strength and integrity for major stadium and arena construction
Ancon steel fixings provide primary structural connections, load transfer and reinforcement continuity in a whole range of large-scale sports and leisure buildings – from landmark Olympic and professional football stadia to public sports centres and event arenas worldwide.
Ancon tension and compression systems are used to brace impressive overhead structural steelwork on eye-catching stadia, while shear load connectors are used to support shifting loads across movement joints in huge sporting structures. Ancon masonry systems provide vital reinforcement for brick, block and stone walls in a host of leisure facilities.
