WELDA® Anchor Plates: Versatile and Reliable

WELDA® Embed Plates are purpose-designed building products used to create a welded connection between different structures.

WELDA® Embed Plates consist of a steel plate and headed studs embedded in concrete either on site or at a precaster's plant. The surface of the steel plate remains uncovered by concrete and thus creates a welding surface for the steel structure, allowing structural joints between steel and concrete. WELDA® Embed Plates cut down time needed for design work and assembly, making the whole construction process faster and more efficient.

Benefits:

  • We provide in-house and field engineering support.
  • We remain at the forefront of innovation, constantly developing new and groundbreaking WELDA® solutions.
  • Our unwavering commitment to quality ensures that our products and services consistently meet the highest standards.

 

NEW: Peikko Designer® Column Connections Module Now Adapted to ACI Standards

We are proud to announce that the Peikko Designer® Column Connections module has been adapted to meet the American Concrete Institute (ACI and AISC) standards for both HPKM® and BOLDA®.

This enhancement allows engineers to design bolted connections that comply with ACI 318 and AISC, ensuring that our solutions are suitable for projects in the United States and other regions following ACI guidelines.

We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing to serve you with the highest standards of quality and innovation. For those who we already serve, thank you for your continued trust and partnership. And to our future clients, we are eager to collaborate with you and demonstrate how our cutting-edge solutions can meet your precast connection needs.
