Objectives Cadent are seeking to undertake a testing program to work to confirm the performance claims made by Viking Johnson (VJ) and George Fischer (GF) that their range of “Ultra-Grip” (VJ) and “Multi-Joint” (GF) products can operate without the requirement for external restraints, such as anchor blocks, when subjected to end loadings induced by network operating pressures and soil loading conditions Scope of testing reduced to only look at Viking Johnson fittings due to suitability of George Fischer size range. • Assess the self-anchoring performance of the Viking Johnson “Ultra-Grip” and George Fisher “Multi-Joint” products using technical guidance from relevant industry codes and standards and provide a recommendation on the suitability of the clamp for field trials.
