Calculation Services

 

Zip-Clip offers a free drawing calculation service.

 

Just email your drawing to info@zip-clip.com.

 

Our technical department will get in touch with a few simple questions.

 

We’ll then provide a full recommendation, a quotation, and a unique project drawing number for reference.

 

Our Technical Department Supports the Following Project Aspects:

 

1. Point Load Calculations

Need help selecting the right Zip-Clip supports?

Our Technical Team will calculate the point loads for your application.

Simply share your project details and describe your overhead anchor point.

 

2. Catenaries

Planning to use a catenary support system in your design?

Zip-Clip can carry out the following services:

  1. Deflection calculations: We’ll tell you how much bow to expect in your system.
  2. Reaction force evaluations: We’ll assess the services you intend to support and advise on the reaction forces acting at each end of the wire once loaded.

These results help determine if your base material is suitable and guide the design or fabrication of any required anchor points.

 

3. Fixings

Not sure which fixings to use?

Zip-Clip will help you choose the right anchors for your suspension system.

For concrete and masonry, we use specialist anchor software to calculate fixing performance under different load conditions and base materials.
