HBT - Rebend Connections
HALFEN HBT Rebend Connection is an engineered system which provides a simple, time-saving, and cost effective solution to maintain reinforcement continuity across structural joints in concrete members. Special reinforcement bars are utilized to make sure the structural integrity and ductility of the reinforcement is maintained after installation.

HSD - Shear Dowel System
HALFEN HSD Shear Dowel Systems are designed to distribute shear loads through construction joints. The shear dowels allow relative displacement, reducing internal stresses and thus eliminating cracking of the concrete.
HALFEN HSD Shear Dowels provide solutions for a variety of applications, loads, slab depths, and joint widths. Each connector is a two-part assembly comprising of a sleeve and a dowel component. The sleeve is nailed to the formwork ensuring subsequent alignment with the dowel and that the system works as intended.
HALFEN Shear Dowels are manufactured from stainless steel to ensure a high degree of corrosion resistance with no requirements for additional protection.
HALFEN HSD Shear Dowel Systems are ideal for use in expansion joint applications and provide a more efficient alternative to corbels. Eliminating the custom formwork and congested reinforcing associated with traditional concrete corbels reduces overall cost and construction time.

HSD-LD Lockable Dowels
HALFEN HSD-LD Lockable Dowels have been designed for use in temporary movement joints, most commonly found in post-tension concrete slabs. These dowels allow for initial shrinkage to take place and then are locked in position with a mechanical plate and a controlled amount of epoxy resin. When locked, the dowels continue to transfer shear, but prevent further movement from taking place.
The use of HALFEN HSD-LD Lockable Dowels can save a significant amount of construction time, labor, and material over other building methods. Concrete shrinkage has traditionally been accommodated by leaving gaps in slabs called "pour-strips" or 'closure-strips.' These strips are filled once movement has ceased; however, until they are filled, the slabs must be temporary supported restricting site access and delaying construction progress.

FK4 Brickwork Support System
HALFEN FK4 Brickwork Supports are the eco-efficient alternative to traditional shelf angles. The increased demand for energy efficient structures has led to requirements for thicker insulation, resulting in larger wall cavities. HALFEN FK4 Brickwork Supports are able to accommodate this challenge using a thinner, lighter system than that of a traditional shelf angle. This system can be used in combination with HALFEN Anchor Channels to allow for an easy and adjustable connection.
HALFEN FK4 Brickwork Supports are offset from the main structure allowing insulation to span continuously behind. This increases the energy efficiency of the outer shell by reducing thermal bridging.
The hot dipped galvanized system provides a high level of corrosion resistance. The HALFEN HK4 Brickwork Supports are a stainless steel alternative for more extreme environmental conditions.
The FK-4 system allows for continuous span of insulation, increasing the overall efficiency of the structure.
