Investigations by Desman Associates of Chicago at the large multi-storey parking garage belonging to the Lakeway Double Tree Hotel in Metcarie, New Orleans, revealed that there were insufficient ties holding the exterior architectural blockwork to the back-up concrete blocks secured within a concrete frame.

Together with other cosmetic repairs to the building, Western Waterproofing of New Orleans used DryFix 10 x 8" and 9" stainless steel retrofit wall ties from Helifix to ensure the stability of the facade.

Quick and easy to install, the Helifix DryFix tie system provides a stress-free mechanical fix without expansion and needs only a small, unobtrusive hole in the masonry for rapid power-driven installation.

No toxic chemicals or grouts are required and, consequently, DryFix is recommended by engineers and architects worldwide.
