Lindapter
Lindapter has developed the world’s first ICC-approved Girder Clamp for structural connections and seismic steel designs. This is the only clamping system for structural steel that is compliant with the International Building Code (IBC) and removes the need to drill or weld steel in the field! Lindapter specializes in faster alternatives to conventional connections for unparalleled flexibility and time savings during installation, but also eliminates hot permits and associated costs. Whether permanent or temporary, Lindapter has a solution for the most-difficult steel connections. For example, Lindapter Hollo-Bolts are one-side installation “blind fasteners” for use with HSS members or any other application where you can’t easily see/reach the other side of the bolt to apply a nut.

MMFX Technologies, a Commercial Metals Company (CMC)
MMFX Technologies offers high-strength concrete reinforcing steels (ChromX) with varying levels of corrosion resistance. Designers utilize the high-strength efficiencies and best match the corrosion protection requirements of the structure to meet the targeted service life.
Utilizing the high strength of ChromX rebar (Grades 100 and 120), designers reduce construction costs, shorten build times, resolve rebar congestion issues, enhance site safety and improve sustainability. Building codes and design guides supporting high-strength designs are available through the ACI, ICC and AASHTO.
ChromX rebar’s uncoated, corrosion-resistance is derived from the steel’s chemistry and microstructure, resulting in a bar that can be handled and fabricated like conventional rebar, without the risk of damage, repair or inspection issues. ChromX is available coast-to-coast—product can be purchased in truckload quantities mill direct. Fabrication services are also offered through CMC’s nationwide distributor network, making MMFX Technologies the one-stop solution for all corrosion-resistant and high-strength steel needs.
