The Linkstud PSR™ System provides a CARES Approved method for reinforcing punching shear around column heads..
The system is quick to install, with all components prefabricated for simple and accurate placement.
We specialise in manufacturing high-quality punching shear reinforcement systems for concrete flat slabs, piled slabs, and post-tensioned slabs, sold under our trademarked brand, LinkStud PSR™.
Our British made 500C Grade Rebar Double-Headed Studs are upset forged and tested in-house, made from CARES-certified deformed carbon steel (rebar) that complies with BS8110 and EC2 standards.
LinkStud PSR™ is an effective solution for addressing the design and construction challenges related to punching shear in slabs, particularly around columns.
This system features double-headed studs that are welded to flat rails, which are strategically placed around the base or head of the column. The shear load from the slab is transferred through these studs into the column. The spacing of the studs on the rail is determined using our online design software or through a qualified design calculation.

OUR LINKSTUD PSR™ SYSTEM OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE CARES CERTIFICATION
CARES is the certification authority for reinforcing steels - an independent, not-for-profit certification body established in 1983 to provide confidence to the users, purchasers, and specifiers of constructional steels through a regime of regulation, testing, and inspection.
In order to provide product users with the confidence that their products will arrive at the construction site as specified, CARES certificates firms at all levels through the supply chain, from the production of hot metal through processing and stocking and distribution.
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.
