Use Ferroscan to position rebar
No one wants nasty surprises on the jobsite. Reduce the risk of accidental damage to existing reinforcement during rebar installation by using a concrete scanner such as the Hilti PS 300 Ferroscan. With the PS 300 you can more quickly and more precisely pinpoint the location of rebar in concrete, even over large areas, then record the data for documentation and structural analysis purposes. You’ll help lower the risk of expensive project delays, speed up drilling work and increase compliance with building regulations.
Work faster with Safeset
Virtually dust-free hole cleaning
What if you could say goodbye forever to the traditional blow-brush-blow method for rebar hole cleaning? Welcome to SafeSet. This innovative Hilti solution combines powerful drilling and highly efficient hole cleaning in an easy one-step process that can help you work faster, obtain better installation quality and boost jobsite safety.
To install rebar using SafeSet, select a Hilti rotary hammer such as the powerful TE 60 and TE 70 models or the cordless TE 30-A36, depending on your specific task or preference. Next, attach a specially designed TE-CD or TE-YD Hilti hollow drill bit along with the right Hilti vacuum cleaner to enjoy automatic and virtually dust-free hole cleaning.
Mortar for all situations
Enjoy higher quality installation
Once you have drilled holes using SafeSet, simply inject Hilti mortar and install the rebar. No matter the condition of the concrete you are working with, or the type of rebar task you are carrying out, we have an ideal mortar solution. To help with planning and to better prevent waste on the job, use the Hilti Volume Calculator app: it enables you to work out the ideal mortar dosage based on your rebar, embedment depth and drilling diameter. You can also boost productivity and cut costs by using the battery-operated HDE 500-A22 mortar dispenser. With the HDE 500, you can help make sure you only inject the amount of mortar you need.
For ultimate performance in demanding conditions use Hilti HY and RE mortars. In shallow and small hole conditions, HY fast-cure mortars are your go-to solution for standard drilling while HIT RE-500 V3 is ideal for deep anchoring and specialised tasks such as diamond coring.
Tailored anchor testing
Get the data you need
Trained and experienced Hilti engineers can perform anchor tests of your post-installed rebar to help verify the quality of the installation. Testing will be specified to your requirements and can be carried out during the design phase to understand the resistance of an unknown base material or after installation as proof loading of the rebar installation carried out. You will receive a detailed report containing comprehensive technical data. All testing is performed using regularly calibrated test equipment.
Take control of your inventory
What equipment do you have? Who’s using it and where? Do your tools need maintenance or calibration? Is it to time to renew training or certification? Get all this critical information and more in close to real time with ON!Track, Hilti’s equipment management software for the construction industry.
Training designed with you in mind
Whether you are looking for an online session on how to operate a specific tool, an accredited live webinar on a key construction topic or a tailored health and safety courses that meets the specific needs of your jobsite, Hilti offers a wide range of learning options — all delivered by experts.
