Date: June 2009
Location: Cleveland OH
Contractor: Expert Basement Repair
Material Used: Kevlar Necktie top wall Anchor System

Project Scope:
Top of poured concrete wall was sliding inward due to lack of proper seal plate connection. Previous methods were very intrusive. Typically steel I beams or steel angle iron would have been used. The Neckties can be easily hidden by insulation in between the joists at the ridge board.

Non-weight bearing wall...thus the joists running parallel with the wall. Several obstacles to work around. Drill holes and a long extension were used to install neckties to ridge board.

Conclusion:
Six Kevlar Neckties can be installed in less than 1 hour with no obstructions this unit with tight area did take 1 day. The Neckties have a pullout from the ridge board of 6,000 psi and the load is distributed in between joists.
