Mechanical coupling system Alligator to be used for the first time in Serbia
The expert team of company Strabag, which is the main contractor for construction of BW Vista residential building, has already used this technology on projects that they have performed abroad, and now Alligator couplers will be used for the first time in Serbia.
The ALLIGATOR coupler is used for splicing any grade or profile of reinforced bar and these couplers are made of reinforced steel with diameters in the range of 10 mm to 40 mm.
Connection are made by inserting bars into both ends of the coupler. The breaking bolts are then screwed by hand and tightened with a ratchet wrench until the bolts shear off, making the connection completed.
Some of the main advantages of this system are that it ensures integral connection for steel reinforcement, does not change the structure of the reinforcement, and there is no need for threading or any other bar preparation., easy and simple joining without additional costs for the tools and consumable material, no additional training is required, the connection is done by an electric, pneumatic or hand tool and correct assembly easy to check visually.
Alligator couplers can be used in various cases, whether for the connection of reinforcement bars of the same (ALC coupler) or different size (ALC-VK), whether for a new connections or to replace the damaged reinforcements with new ones and to connect to the old structure in cases of renovation, or with our ALC-AP Alligator coupling with end anchoring you can to reduce the congestion and simplifies the placement of the reinforcement bars by removing the need for hooked ends, and with ALC-SK Alligator continuity coupler that allows reinforcement to be extended at construction joints without the need to drill the formwork at the construction joint locations.
