Cast-in-place solutions for hanging mechanical, electrical & HVAC services
Gripple and Building Information Modelling (BIM)
Spider
Metal Deck Insert (MDI)
A cast-in-place concrete solution for hanging mechanical and electrical services including HVAC, lighting, conduit racks and cable tray
Specifically designed for pre-inserting into metal decks prior to the concrete being poured
• Robust Construction Copes with on-site conditions before, during, and after the concrete pour
• Saves Time The rubber head prevents the entry hole from being blocked with concrete
• Ergonomically Designed Prevents accidental movement before or during the concrete pour
• Easy Insertion Tube allows for easy insertion of the end fixing from below
Around the world BIM is quickly being established as the best method for planning, designing and managing building construction in order to increase productivity. Gripple’s latest innovation allows installation of pre-determined suspension points for MEP services before the concrete is poured, eliminating the need for post drilling into the deck and reducing the risk of error. For both the Spider and Metal Deck Insert (MDI) product ranges, suspension points are planned during the design phase allowing coordination of all MEP installations. The drawings and/or 3D models are then used to determine the position of the Spider or MDI during construction Both products have a low profile body to reduce the risk of components being accidentally dislocated before concrete pour. Both products are available in a range of sizes;
