Fitted Once, Fitted Right

Why Use Vision?

Where the industry goes wrong

  • Damaged or stolen plant having to be constantly replaced
  • Bricklayers installing the wrong ties at incorrect centres or locations
  • Support systems failing because of incorrect fitting or torque settings
  • Delays To programmes due to structural tolerances that require changes to be made to designed systems.

Costly Implications

Incorrectly fitted masonry restraints can have extremely large financial implications. They not only impact a project but can be extreme enough to affect a company's financial position. We know of several projects where 1st floor incorrectly fitted masonry support systems have failed, resulting in each floor of masonry built above being taken down and re-built, with costs running into tens of thousands of pounds.

Bricklayers and Labourers are not structural engineers and don’t understand the consequences and engineering aspects of how a support system works. They would not be expected to erect steel /concrete structural frame work and yet they get involved in fitting masonry restraints which are an equally important structural part of the building.

From A Bricklayer's Perspective

We wouldn't expect a structural steel erecter to lay bricks so therefore why not allow bricklayers to do what they do best and what they are skilled in.
