Building Entry Solutions for every Situation

Every building usually features multiple entry and exit points that provide secure interfaces for various utility lines. These building entries can be strategically placed throughout the structure. While many house entries are installed underground, others are often found in walls or roofs. Due to the differing construction requirements in these areas, there is a need for flexible and adaptable solutions. Hauff-Technik’s wide range of products effectively addresses these diverse needs, delivering reliable and efficient building entry solutions that enhance overall infrastructure integrity.

Fibre Optic Expansion and Retrofitting Utility Lines

The expansion of fibre optic networks and the retrofitting of utility lines are crucial in today’s digital landscape. To maximize the benefits of high-speed broadband connections, it’s vital to install fibre optic cables directly into buildings, which requires new building entries. Hauff-Technik offers complete solutions that make fibre optic expansion easy, quick, and cost-effective. Our extensive product range provides all the necessary components for creating branch connections from street distribution points to building entries. This allows for seamless and efficient retrofitting of building entries for fibre optic lines, ensuring your infrastructure meets the demands of modern connectivity.

Grounding Solutions for Building Entries and Retrofitting

Grounding connections are a critical component of modern building technology, ensuring safety and reliability. These connections are typically established using grounding rods that are installed in the ground beneath the building. Specialized grounding entries serve as the link between the building's electrical system and the ground, ensuring that the building maintains a gas- and water-tight seal while providing essential grounding functionality.

Hauff-Technik offers innovative solutions specifically designed for formwork installation during building entry. These solutions can be installed in foundation slabs or through basement walls, with models available for double walls, element walls, and various types of floor slabs. Each grounding connection features a water barrier flange, ensuring a secure gas- and water-tight installation. The grounding wall collar with a water barrier flange is particularly easy to install, accommodating either round or flat conductors. Additionally, flexible grounding entries allow for offset installation, providing versatility in various applications.

For retrofitting projects, Hauff-Technik provides the HEA N and HEA ND series, designed for straightforward installation of grounding systems. Many older buildings are undergoing electrical renovations due to the absence of grounding systems, creating a need for solutions that are cost-effective, quick, and professional. Our series facilitates easy installation through a mortar-free dry sealing system, featuring bi-directional sealing achieved with surface gaskets that are simply tightened with nuts.

These grounding entries for retrofitting are suitable for wall thicknesses up to 600 mm. Hauff-Technik can also provide customized solutions for larger wall thicknesses upon request, ensuring that our products meet a wide range of building requirements, including walls with perimeter insulation, which can accommodate thicknesses of up to 200 mm.

Ensuring Safe Building Entries with Fire Protection

Fire protection is a vital aspect of any building's safety measures. Without appropriate provisions, building entries can become vulnerable points in fire safety protocols. Additionally, similar interfaces in walls, where cables pass through, can also present risks without fire protection systems in place. Hauff-Technik offers effective fire protection kits that address these challenges by enabling core drills and sleeves to meet required fire resistance classes.

These fire protection kits can be easily retrofitted, providing a versatile solution for existing buildings. When used in conjunction with Hauff-Technik's system seals, these building entries achieve gas and water tightness, ensuring comprehensive protection against fire hazards. By incorporating Hauff-Technik’s fire protection solutions into your building infrastructure, you can ensure that all entries comply with stringent safety standards, safeguarding both the building and its occupants from potential fire risks.
