Good morning, is there any course or webinar that can be taken to be certified as an anchor designer and produce the required documentation to provide for structural engineers to review?
I've been working on several projects where anchoring calculations are a requirement from the structural point of view. Although hilti products have been designed to accommodate certain amount of loads. A structural review is still being required on some cases to demonstrate proper function of the anchor.
Hi Marco,
All of Hilti’s anchor courses are continuing education certificates, not anchor design certifications. We do have multiple anchor courses that help with design and calculations (PROFIS) but we do not have a specific anchor design certification.
For design help, engineers typically utilize Hilti’s PROFIS Engineering Suite software to perform calculations based on the specific conditions of the project. Click here to access the software from Hilti’s website.
Hilti has several how-to videos to help users get started with the PROFIS Engineering Suite software. For additional information on the various design modules/methods, Hilti provides several on-demand Engineering Center webinars on topics such as base plate design, anchoring to masonry, and anchoring to concrete-over-metal deck.
Regards,
Ashley
