 Halfen Detan Rod systems
Tension and compression rod system

Modern architecture always strives to find a balance between

practical, functional and aesthetically exceptional solutions.
With our Rod Systems, we offer two product solutions that
meet the highest aesthetic, safety and quality requirements.
Our technically mature systems are easy to install and can be
used for filigree supporting structures as well as for high load
applications. Rod systems are increasingly being implemented as
architectural and structural elements.
As a future-oriented, innovative company Leviat focuses on
the ever-changing requirements of the industry. Our latest
development aims to combine the portfolio of Ancon and Halfen
Rod systems to ensure we meet the individual requirements of
our customers and the industry.
For the steel variant we provide “Halfen design” and for the
stainless steel variant we provide the “Ancon design”. With both
systems we are offering to our customers an optimum version
from our product portfolio.
Both systems have a wide range of accessories and can be
designed as tension and compression rod system. Likewise,
both systems are regulated in a European Technical Assessment
(ETA). Furthermore, they can be dimensioned and configured in
our software, which is available free of charge.

Benefits and changes for planners of the previous

Ancon system:
With the Halfen system Detan-S, we offer additional diameters
(ds = 60 mm and ds = 76 mm), higher load-bearing capacities and
the complete system in steel or hot-dip galvanised steel incl.
brushed threads with sealing set.

Benefits or changes for planners of the previous

Halfen system Detan-E:
For systems made of stainless steel, larger diameters
(ds = 36 mm and ds = 42 mm) can be used. The diameters
ds = 6 mm and ds = 27 mm are phased out. In addition to the
electropolished variant, it is also possible to obtain satin or
hand-polished systems.

Diameters for Halfen Detan-S in steel:

M10, M12, M16, M20, M24, M27, M30, M36, M42, M48, M52, M56,
M60, M76
Diameters for Halfen Detan-D in stainless steel:
M8, M10, M12, M16, M20, M24, M30, M36, M42

The market launch of the new product portfolio took place

under the following name:
■ Halfen Detan-S Rod system carbon steel (previously Detan-S)
■ Halfen Detan-D Rod system stainless steel (previously Ancon

Halfen Detan is suitable for use in all types of bracing providing construction detailing and assistance for further
applications. possible applications.

Bracing under beams

The Halfen Detan Rod system allows smaller steel and wood-beam
cross-sections. This makes larger spans possible. This is one example of a
beam using two compression rod systems with three tension rods in the
mid-section. Minimum material can be used to support glass

structures, to allow maximum light into a building.

Stiffeners and Bracings

Statically required wind–bracing in roofs

and walls can be aesthetically designed
as a visual focus-point using the tension
rod system. Cross bracing is possible
either with a cross coupler or an anchor
disc.

Suspensions

rzu 2015

The design of aesthetically demanding structures, such as this pedestrian

bridge, is made possible. The requirements of modern architecture
complement the static requirements perfectly.

Applications

Application — examples

Canopy suspensions
The Halfen Detan System allows bracings to be
designed using a minimum of obtrusive structural
elements, leaving them almost invisible. Statically
required elements are simultaneously used as
design elements. The visually, unobtrusive bracing
elements give the whole structure an overall
lightness. Applications are suspended canopies in
all types of commercial and industial projects. The
Halfen Detan Rod system is suitable for tension and
compression loads.

Back-braced glass-façades

The Halfen Detan Rod system allows

filigree support structures for glass-
façades to be realized.

Halfen Detan as a Design Element

The Sage, Gateshead/England

Cross bracings provide a futuristic, lightweight construction.
For structural reasons, Halfen Detan Tension rods run diagonally
across the glazed façade.
The filigree Halfen Detan system is perfectly integrated,
emphasizing the fascinating overall impression of the building.

Halfen Detan as a Design Element

L'Aquapolis Centre aquatique, Limoges/France

The aquatic sports centre is located in Limoges in
France. Various fun pools are distributed over 2.400 m2
as well as a 25 and a 50 metres competition size facility.
Numerous fitness, water sport activities and relaxation
zones are also available.
Construction was completed after 3 years and the centre
was opened in January 2015.
In the Aquapolis project the impressive structure uses
hot-dipped galvanized elements as tension chords for
the roof beams with 12, 16, 24, 30, 36, 56 and 76 mm
diameters.

Moody Pedestrian Bridge, Austin/USA

The Moody Pedestrian Bridge is a one of a kind inverted Fink
Truss Bridge. The bridge is characterized by a series of slender
steel towers that vary in height and scale.
Tension rods in various lengths were engineered and designed
to connect the towers to the bridge itself. Additional rods were
used at the tops of the steel towers and also as a cross brace
at the bottom of the main tower. Rods were provided in HDG
material and then were painted to match the steel towers.

 Halfen Detan Rod systems
Couplers and Compression Rods

Cross couplers

The Halfen Detan Cross coupler is an alternative to the

anchor disc cross coupler. The new cross coupler can be used for
minimum crossing angles. The cross coupler can be used
instead of the anchor disc and 4 fork heads. In both cases
the same load capacity is guaranteed.

Cross coupler with a minimal cross angle of 40°

The cross couplers are elegant solutions and allow contactless

crossing of tension rods in the same plane.
Other advantages are the moderate costs compared to
an anchor disc solution and the easy installation.

Cross-bracing with a cross coupler

Compression rods
The Halfen Detan Rod system is an intelligent system combining
tension and compression rods.
To complement the Halfen Detan Rod system we also supply
compression rods that integrate perfect both visually and
technically into the system. To blend in and to match the tension
rods the compression rods taper towards the rod-ends. This
allows use of the same design of fork and locking-nuts to give
a uniform design. The concept is especially convincing as the
forks are suitable for compression as well as for tension loads.
This combination of tension and compression rods is therefore
technically very beneficial.
In addition to standard pipe profiles we also provide other pipe
cross-sections and special solutions.
The compression rod systems are pre-assembled with our

Halfen Detan Pretension Unit

Halfen Detan Pretension unit — Advantages and basics

The exact application of pretension for system diameters 30 and

larger can be difficult, therefore additional tools such as
hydraulic jacks become necessary.
The Pretension unit for use with Halfen Detan Rod systems from
M30 to M60 provides an effective solution with load transfer
using a threaded-plate preventing damages to the rod surface.

Additional advantages
■ the system is optimised for Halfen Detan Rods
■ extra lightweight aluminium design for simple assembly
■ targeted hydraulic application for tension up to 425 kN
■ no power-source needed
■ the high-quality galvanized surface is protected by special load
transfer plates
■ simple control of load application with a calibrated
manometer
■ additional control using optional extensometer,
even after load application (if previously gauge-marked)
■ functional, simple & robust

Applying pretension
If pretensioning a system is intended then special couplers,
special thread lengths and locking-nuts are required. These
cannot be retrofitted and must therefore be taken into
consideration at the planning stage.
Our technical support team is available to assist in any
enquires. Contact information can be found at the back of this
catalogue.

To apply pretension, special pretension units are available from

our technical support team. The necessary rod force
is converted into the required hydraulic pressure and then
applied using the Halfen Detan Pretension unit.

Pretension check
If the rod was previously gauge-marked, the pretension force
can be controlled using an extensometer.
This system can be used during, as well as after load
application. This allows load control using hydraulic pressure as
well as monitoring direct rod strain.
Similar to the Halfen Detan Pretension unit this device is easy to
use, is robust and also requires no power-source.
