Punching Shear Reinforcement Systems

We manufacture 500C Grade Rebar Double Headed Studs, conforming to the strength and dimensional requirements incorporated within BS8110 and EC2.

Brooks Forgings specialises in manufacturing high-quality punching shear reinforcement systems for concrete flat, piled, and post-tensioned slabs.

Our 500C Grade Rebar Double Headed Studs are produced from CARES-certified deformed carbon steel (rebar) conforming to BS8110 and EC2 standards.

Stud ends are upset forged to three times the diameter of the bar to maximise mechanical anchoring within the concrete, providing superior resistance against punching shear failure.

Double-headed shear studs are linked by fabricated rails that are unique to each project and used purely to ensure the accurate configuration and ease of placement of the studs on-site.

Automated Horizontal Upset Forging

At our manufacturing facility in Lye, West Midlands, we have installed several Horizontal forging lines capable of producing upset forgings.

The walking beam transfer unit makes the use of several compressed air cylinders to transfer the workpiece from one die to the next and is easily capable of increasing output by up to 3 times that of conventional manual operation.

Destructive & Tensile Testing

We have a Mayes 4 Column Vertical 50 Tonne Destructive/Tensile Testing Machine on-site.
This enables us to complete tests in-house, saving valuable time in the manufacturing process and further improves lead times.
