The Cintec Reinforcement System was used to help rebuild Alymer Academy in Alymer, Quebec, Canada
The former Aylmer Academy (170 Principale Street, Aylmer, Quebec Canada) is of Georgian Style. Construction started in 1857 and the square Bell Tower was added in 1911. Following a fire in 1925 the original roof was replaced with a mansard style and a 3rd floor added. The building served as an English language educational lay transition facility from public school to college and university and was the equivalent of today's high school - the regions first.
For several years after, this building housed the Western Quebec School Board. In April 2019, a zoning change allowed use as a Seniors Residence. The engineering for this ADAPTIVE RE-USE was done by Luc-Alexandre Faucher, ing., M.Sc.A. of L2C Experts Conseilsen Structure Montreal, Quebec Canada and the architectural component by Samuel Pouliot of NEUF Architect(e)s in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.
The project required general wall strengthening by use of A type 3/4" (20mm) threaded rod with2" (50mm)sock and cored hole up to 13 feet (3962mm) long and B type 5/8" (16mm)rod and cored hole up to 6 feet (1830mm) long. anchors were used to connect original structure to tower added at later date providing greater structural integrity. The Cintec Reinforcement System installation was performed, by Cintec Certified installer Andre Parefrom PARANIS Construction with offices in Gatineau, Quebec Canada and Ottawa, Ontario Canada

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
