Zip-Clip Wire Suspension Brochure | ACURA Group

We help you navigate through the seismic maze, so you can rest assured your designs and our products will be compliant. Superior hanging technology.

Zip‑Clip Superior Hanging Technology

Zip‑Clip is the strong, stylish, sensible, high spec suspension solution. With the unique ingenious design, high‑tensile galvanized wire rope is used in conjunction with a zinc alloy locking device, housing an oil impregnated sintered metal wedge that engages first time. As a result, Zip‑Clip offers the surest, easiest locking solution available.

Superior Hanging Technology

The Zip-Clip System includes fixings and sizes to support all mechanical services including square and round duct work, fan coil units, chiller beams, plenums, pipe work and other related items into or onto any surface, whether it be concrete, Bondek, purlins or beams.

The stainless steel spring ensures the wedge engages first time. The galvanised high tensile wire rope supplied offers you a better SWL (safe working load) than those found on the market. All our engineered suspension products are designed with quality and safety in mind.

Wire Seismic Supports

Specialist systems for seismic bracing and vibration isolation, with a tested and proven wire bracing system.

Benefits

• Time & cost saving - save up to 81% on install time

• Reduction of materials – Can remove the need for strut, angle, trapeze supports and allthread

• Versatility – Can support services from any angle, working around other suspended services

• Tailored solutions – End fixings and lengths to suit every application

• Practicality – Can be installed ahead of time, before receiving duct or tray deliveries

• Safety – Wires can be left hanging before fitting off without incurring safety issues

• Strength – 5:1 Safety factor for loads up to 500Kg We guarantee to provide you with the best ways to support your services.

Zip-Clip Locks

Zip-Clip provides a range of innovative products designed for speed and ease of use.

The clip is manufactured from a high quality zinc alloy. The oil impregnated sintered metal wedge is designed to offer the best locking solution.

When is rod stiffener required?

Threaded rods are designed and manufactured purely for gravity loads. The uplifting forces that come with seismic events easily exceed the dead load on threaded rod, resulting in compressive forces.

Rod stiffeners provide additional support for bracing to prevent buckling of the rods.

The specific needs, sizes, and number of clamps used to attach the rod stiffener angle to the hanger rod required to achieve compliance, is completely dependent on several variables including:

• The hanger rod size & spacing

• Horizontal seismic force being restrained

• Weight of the duct or pipe to be supported

• Seismic restraint installation angle

• Single hanger rod or trapeze supported pipe or duct

ACURA Group can provide comprehensive designs and drawings for any project, including weight and seismic calculations, that will ensure any products we supply are compliant.

PTOCC in Perth

The $50 million Public Transport Operations Control Centre project, faced a critical challenge in finding a seismically rated solution to the support electrical and dry fire services.

The project requirements include a full seismic design certificate, integrated remote monitoring sign-off process with photographic evidence, 3D modeling, and take-off to ensure an end-to-end compliant outcome.

ACURA Group worked with engineers, providing a comprehensive seismic engineered solution, and a full six-level support program that included the use of the versatile Zip-Clip wire bracing, rod stiffener for the multi-layered tray, and specialised seismic rated fixings. These products played a vital role in ensuring the solution met all of the client's compliance needs.

With ACURA Group's 5 runs a day in metro Perth, products will be delivered to site level by level, on time, every time.

The solutions ACURA Group has and is providing this project with, clearly demonstrates the exceptional capabilities and commitment to customer satisfaction.

Royal Adelaide Hospital

“For large and complicated builds, only the best in support solutions will do. We helped to implement the world standard in seismic support at nRAH,” says Simon Joyce, ACURA Group Sales Director.

The Royal Adelaide Hospital spans the equivalent of three city blocks and contains almost 4 hectares of landscaped parks and gardens. What lies beneath the surface is a carefully designed and executed technologically advanced facility - one of the nations best in complex clinical care.

It was therefore a natural fit to be part of the construction process, with ACURA Group supplying the best in innovative seismic approve solutions to this flagship facility.

With services traveling up and down and across 9 levels at nRAH, the support needs of the electrical, HVAC, seismic and fire protection sectors was vast for this $2.4 Billion dollar project.

Seismic compliance became a very large issue on this project and it was necessary to work closely with the electrical, medical gases, plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical contractors to provide a seismically approved and engineered solution.

ACURA Group designed a versatile prefabricated and seismically approved common support frame (CSF), which the contractor built off site. The support frame was then transported in large

sections on-site, lifted by crane (see page 11), and successfully installed across all corridors.

An estimated total of 12km of siFramo was used in this innovative solution, along with other seismic approved products like Zip-Clip and seismic approved fixings.

This innovative solution contributed to fast install times without comprising on compliance.
