MkII soldier
With the galvanised steel MKII Soldiers from Harsco Infrastructure it is possible
to make-up three-dimensional structural frames. Facade-retaining shores or heavy
duty dead shores are used for the restoration of old historic listed buildings.
For this purpose a Multiway Connector and special braces have been developed.
The Multiway Connector is a special node point in the frame structure, on to which
a maximum of 8 MKII Soldiers can be connected.
A special push/pull bracket has been developed to enable intermediate bracing
with MKII Soldiers to be used at any arbitrary point on the MKII Soldiers.
Details have also been developed for use in facade-retention applications for
connecting the frame to the facade. Heavy leg loads of up to 500 kN can be supported
by the Multiway Connector by doubling up the vertical MKII Soldiers. A special
wedge jack component is available if the structure has to be struck under load.
These jacks have a limited height adjustment range of 100 mm.

The MKII Soldiers, when used as a compression member, have different loading
characteristics about its two main axes of inertia due to its asymmetric shape.
The arrangement of the shore when erected may also dictate the method of bracing
to obtain the required capacity. Please contact us for more information.
