AFFIX MALT
Series towers must never be built as free-standing structure. Follow the tying-in solution provided
The following points must be observed:
- Never build linked towers without adopting and correctly following the suggested tying-in solution.
- Securely tie the linked tower into an adjacent rigid structure capable of withstanding the forces that will be
imposed upon it by the attachment of the tower.
- The tying in pattern should ensure that the uprights of the tower are tied in a minimum of every 4 metres,
both laterally and vertically in an alternating pattern. In practice this means that “every other frame and every
other lift” is tied in. Additionally, both ends of the structure must be tied in at 4 metre intervals.
- In case if it is not possible to tie the tower to a suitable adjacent rigid structure, please contact the manufacturer

- When tying-in to concrete structure, select and install anchors in concrete and masonry must be selected and
installed in accordance with BS 8539.
- The MALT tower is designed to be properly secured to a suitable adjacent rigid structure which should withstand
the forces that will be imposed upon it by the tying-in of the tower.
