Reid has been supplying quality engineered products to the Australian mining and
construction industries since the 1920s, and in the last 50 years has built a position of
market leadership in the supply of cast-in components to concrete construction sector.
Reid introduced the revolutionary SwiftLift system, involving robust cast-in anchors and safe, quick
release clutches. This unique system greatly increased safety and efficiency in the transportation
and placement of large concrete components such as wall panels, stairs, beams and pipes.
Reid innovation continued with the development of the ReidBar system - ReidBar Couplers,
Grouters and Inserts that are used with ReidBar - continuously threaded Grade 500 reinforcing
steel produced in Australia and New Zealand. These products are now widely used to enable fast,
easy and efficient reinforcement connections on major construction projects throughout all markets.
Reids ongoing commitment to innovation and investment in better products, systems and services
was further strengthened when the business became a part of the global ITW Group in 2004. This
gives Reid people access to significant technology and business resources worldwide, the benefits
of which flow to our customers.
In partnership with another ITW group member Ramset, we can deliver lifting, connection,
anchorage and fixing solutions for anything built from concrete.
At Reid we aim to be much more than just a supplier of components to the concrete construction
industry. We work in partnership with our customers in all facets of planning, preparation, design,
engineering certification, forming, production, rigging, lifting, anchoring and bracing all critical
stages in the safe and efficient manufacture and placement of concrete elements.
Our products help handle the physical load, whilst our professional support services help lift the risk
load each Reid design comes backed by the strength of ITW, and our absolute commitment to
delivering your project faster, safer, more efficiently.
This design guide is a practical demonstration of that commitment we hope you find it useful.

- ISO9001 accredited
- strict quality control systems
- products designed in Australia to Australian Standards
- products tested in Australian building materials
- full responsibility for our product range and performance data

Engineered Solutions
All structural products and systems require suitable engineering in their development
and manufacture. In the case of construction projects and one-off solutions these
are customised for the specific problem or requirement and usually involve extra
time and cost to devise, certify and supply. In the case of standardised/ready-to-
use products however, as offered to the industry by Reid, these pre-engineered
products also require customised application-engineering to devise and specify
arrangements of standard product to deliver best-possible solutions to every
unique, project-based problem and structural requirement. This approach nearly
always allows the fastest and best-value solutions to the customers needs and so
is inherently better engineering.

This engineering resource from Reid is intended to supply what you need to know
to get the solutions you need from the products we offer. You can either solve the
problem for yourself or get any necessary assistance from Reid.

Extensive research, development and testing are invested in Reid

products. This provides designers with the complete performance
capabilities of the Reid range of Cast-In Ferrules.

The performance data contained in this Design Guide relates only to

the Reid range of Cast-In Ferrules. Our superior steel grade and
manufacturing tolerances are key factors in producing our excellent
products. Generic products may appear similar physically, but their
actual performance is heavily influenced by the steel grade and
manufacturing tolerances used.
 5

Once you have adequately defined the application/problem the essential steps to
getting the right Reid solution are:

1. Options IDENTIFY THE POTENTIAL SYSTEMS THAT WILL WORK

2. Choose THE OPTION THAT BEST MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS

3. Design FOR THE EFFICIENT APPLICATION OF THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT CHOICE

4. Specify THE SOLUTION CORRECTLY SO ITS CLEAR WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

The goal of this process is to deliver the best possible combination of required safety,
managed risk and best value performance for the designer and the downstream
construction staff.

Some structural products supplied by Reid in conjunction with our own systems
are sourced from our allied Business Unit Ramset. In such cases your Reid
engineer can refer you to the appropriate engineering resources for these products.
Whatever the information source Reid will only propose solutions which we know
will work best for you and we take full responsibility for all products that we supply
be it the hardware or our engineering service. We hope youll agree that we do
this better than anybody else.

4 Cast-In Anchoring - Overview

Panel Connections Design
Reid serves the industry not just with supply of hardware but, and perhaps more importantly,
with technically superior engineering information, such as this design guide. This has proven to
be a valued asset for professional engineers, allowing for informed, safe and efficient decisions,
with the reassurance that the published capacities have been verified over years of extensive
research, development and testing.

The following design information is provided for the guidance of qualified structural engineers
or other suitably skilled persons in the design of cast-in anchors and allows the designer to
determine load carrying capacities based on actual application and installation conditions.
The Simplified Design Approach to achieve strength limit state design was developed by our
business partner Ramset and has proven to be a simple and effective method to allow for
rapid selection of a suitable anchor through systematic analysis, ensuring that it will meet the
required design criteria under strength limit state principles.

The Reid Cast-In ferrule range is available in Zinc, Hot Dip Galvanised and Stainless Steel
finishes to cater for a wide range of atmospheric conditions and range in sizing from M10
through to M24.
