HelicalBar™ T316 - Engineered Technology for Structural Stability in Masonry Walls

HelicalBar™ T316 - Engineered Technology

HelicalBar™ T316 - Engineered Technology for Structural Stability in Masonry Walls

The HelicalBar™ T316 is a specialised remedial wall tie designed to correct cavity wall tie failures and resecure leaning and bulging masonry walls to internal supports, such as floor joists. With an 8mm diameter and advanced triple-blade design, the HelicalBar™ T316 can be easily inserted into small pilot holes, minimising visual and structural impact while making installation quick and straightforward.

Under load, the helical blades efficiently distribute forces along the tie’s length to maintain reliable connections. This makes them ideal in lintel repair, slab jacking stabilisation and wall crack stitching for a variety of building materials, including clay bricks, concrete and timber joists.

More Questions...

How long will it take for my walls to dry after damp proof treatment?
We employ our damp proofing solution, DampBlock™, to counteract the effects of rising damp in your walls by blocking capillaries, reducing the walls ability to draw moisture upwards. After this process, the existing damp in your walls will generally take 6-12 months to dry out.
After the damp proofing process, your walls will start to dry. However, this can result in natural salt crystallisation and residual dampness on the surface. To prevent the surface plaster from deteriorating and the appearance of damp, an application of a salt-blocking solution is recommended, which we are happy to assist with and discuss during your assessment.
Certainly not. DampBlock™ is non-hazardous and completely odourless, allowing you and your family to stay at home while we work.
Buildfix has successfully completed well over 10,000 projects across Australia over the past decade. This includes mostly residential projects, as well as some commercial and strata buildings.
Absolutely. We proudly offer an industry-leading, transferable 20-year warranty on our products and workmanship, which ensures your peace of mind for years to come and adds value to your property, even if you decide to sell it in the future.
Yes, our DampBlock™ is environmentally safe and poses no harm to the surroundings.
Yes, effective damp proofing can enhance the structural integrity of your property, prevent health hazards due to mould and ultimately improve the property’s market value and appeal to potential buyers.
