At Cintec our mission is to design and manufacture of the "CINTEC" Micro Concrete and Lime Grout Anchoring and Reinforcing Systems. Ranging from sophisticated wall ties, to solid bar anchors over thirty meters in length, the CINTEC System can be adapted to suit a myriad of applications. CINTEC has dealt with such high profile projects as the Canadian Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, the Bank of Montreal in Quebec, the Brandenburg Tower and Cathedral in Germany as well as the Empire State Building in New York. The longest anchors, to date, are thirty-two meters long and installed in Christ Church Cathedral in Newcastle, Australia, which had suffered major damage due to an earthquake. .

Motivated by the collapse of Ronan Point in London in 1968, where a gas explosion on the 18th floor triggered a progressive collapse, Cintec developed a strengthening system to reinforce masonry walls in order to resist accidental gas explosions and earthquakes. In the mid 1980s, approximately 48km (30 miles) of Cintec reinforcement anchoring was installed in large panel system buildings in both North America and Europe to resist against progressive collapse. The process continues today in many areas. Delete if not required.

			2.	Photo documentation (digital) of all existing surface and substrate conditions discovered in areas to be reinforced.
		B.	The Contractor shall obtain substrate samples for inspection per the direction of the architect as soon as the back-up masonry is exposed following selective demolition and removal of the veneer that obscures it.
		C.	If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
	3.2	PREPARATION
		A.	Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
		B.	Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
		C.	Coordinate times of required site visits with Architect, Engineer, General Contractor, Sub Contractors and Material Supplier.
	3.3	INSTALLATION - GENERAL
		A.	Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
			1.	Install Structural Injection Anchors per directions and requirements of the manufacturer's Installer Handbook.
			2.	Following completion of all anchor work, wash all surrounding surfaces with approved cleaning agent or technique.
	3.4	ANCHOR DESIGN PROCEDURE
		A.	Coordinate design of Anchors with manufacturer.
			1.	Forward electronic project photos, contract drawings, required load information and description of conditions to a representative of Cintec Structural Solutions and arrange site visit to observe existing conditions and review installation. Forward to: Cintec.
			2.	Manufacturer shall provide electronic sketch of proposed design with anchor price quote and additional installation requirements and instructions as needed. Submit to Architect/Engineer for review before proceeding with installation. Adjustments shall be made if necessary to the anchor design at no additional cost to the owner but no adjustments shall be made in diameter of rod or in the reduction of the embedment.
	3.5	ANCHOR HOLE DRILLING TECHNIQUE
		A.	Drill Holes for Anchors as Follows:
