BBR SDX Bar System

Self-drilling bars for construction and underground applications

Rugged, reliable & strong

The BBR Network is recognized as the leading group of specialized
engineering contractors in the field of post-tensioning, stay cable and related
construction engineering. The innovation and technical excellence, brought
together in 1944 by its three Swiss founders – Antonio Brandestini, Max
Birkenmaier and Mirko Robin Ros – continues, more than 70 years later,
in that same ethos and enterprising style.
From its Technical Headquarters and Business Development Centre in
Switzerland, the BBR Network reaches out around the globe and has at its
disposal some of the most talented engineers and technicians, as well as the
very latest internationally approved technology.

THE GLOBAL BBR NETWORK

Within the Global BBR Network, established traditions and strong local roots
are combined with the latest thinking and leading edge technology. BBR grants
each local BBR Network Member access to the latest technical knowledge
and resources – and facilitates the exchange of information on a broad scale
and within international partnering alliances. Such global alliances and
co-operations create local competitive advantages in dealing with, for example,
efficient tendering, availability of specialists and specialized equipment or
transfer of technical know-how.

ACTIVITIES OF THE NETWORK

All BBR Network Members are well-respected within their local business
communities and have built strong connections in their respective regions.
They are all structured differently to suit the local market and offer a variety
of construction services, in addition to the traditional core business of
post-tensioning.

BBR TECHNOLOGIES & BRANDS

BBR technologies have been applied to a vast array of different structures –
such as bridges, buildings, cryogenic LNG tanks, dams, marine structures,
nuclear power stations, retaining walls, tanks, silos, towers, tunnels,
wastewater treatment plants, water reservoirs and wind farms. The BBRTM
brands and trademarks – CONA®, BBRV®, HiAm®, HiEx, DINA®, SWIF®, BBR
E-Trace and CONNÆCT® – are recognized worldwide.
The BBR Network has a track record of excellence and innovative approaches
– with thousands of structures built using BBR technologies. While BBR’s
history goes back over 70 years, the BBR Network is focused on constructing
the future – with professionalism, innovation and the very latest technology.

BBR VT International Ltd is the Technical Headquarters and Business Development Centre of the BBR
Network located in Switzerland. The shareholders of BBR VT International Ltd are BBR Holding Ltd
(Switzerland), a subsidiary of the Tectus Group (Switzerland) and KB Spennteknikk AS (Norway),
a subsidiary of the KB Group (Norway).

The BBR SDX Bar System is offered to the
construction and underground market with
the same high Swiss quality standards and
performance criteria that BBR customers
have come to expect.

The BBR SDX Bar System is a fully threaded hollow bar

system, complete with a selection of accessories, designed
to suit the widest variety of ground conditions and working
environments.
In producing this system, we have focused on delivering a
quality solution based on seamless tubes, rather than welded
tubes. This offers a higher degree of reliability – even when
applied in extremely difficult terrain. Cold rolling technology
refines the grain structure of the BBR SDX bar hence 3 System features, advantages & applications

 Testing & quality assurance to international standards
At BBR, we take pride in every piece of construction technology that we supply and this is why we conduct thorough

Static test on tensile bar element

A bar specimen is stressed by standard
stressing equipment to the maximum force
(corresponding to ultimate tensile strength)
at a specified loading rate. Elongation of the
bars is measured during the tests.
The maximum force and force at yield must
meet the specified values as 5% fractiles. The
ratio of maximum force to force at yield, as
well as the elongation at maximum force (Agt)
must meet values as 10% fractiles.
Agt is expected to be at least 5%, while for the
smallest size 2.5% might be acceptable.
