Why DonoBrace®?

SIMPLE TO SPECIFY & DESIGN

The design, engineering and specification process is simple with DonoBrace®.

Structural engineers simply select and place the specific sized DonoBrace® component into structural drawings using compatible drafting software.

SUPERIOR QUALITY & DYNAMICALLY TESTED

DonoBrace® is dynamically tested for Seismic Activity, along with for Hydrogen Embrittlement.

DonoBrace® is manufactured with machined nuts and bolts for reliability. All Endplates are plasma cut, induction heated and pressed for performance.

EASY & RAPID INSTALLATION

DonoBrace® is designed for simple and efficient installation. The steel bracing endplates allow for less sophisticated coupling components, dramatically decreasing installation time.

DonoBrace® is easily prefabricated Offsite or Onsite. Installing DonoBrace® eliminates rework and downtime and ensures a transparent onsite inspection process.

GREATER CAPACITY & LESS WEIGHT

DonoBrace® is the highest capacity tension rod system in the market, all while weighing a fraction of the other bracing options.

 

TRANSPARENT ONSITE INSPECTIONS

Each coupler comes standard with two inspection holes for quick and simple verification that both rods are fully engaged.

STANDARDIZED STOCK COMPONENTS

From the machined nuts and washers to the couplers, high tensile rod, and end plates, all parts are standardized for project flexibility.
