Spec2Site: Our commitment to engineers and contractors
From structural connection design to onsite installation, we are your partner in productivity, safety, and sustainability
Higher Performing
Innovative fastening solutions that meet demanding requirements
We recognize that your design and jobsite needs can be demanding. How can we help you ensure that your structural connections perform well under fire, seismic events, fatigue loading, or other challenging conditions?
We provide anchoring solutions for structural connections that have been approved for higher performance across a wide range of load conditions. Our continuous innovation is driven by valuable input from engineers and contractors.
Discover just some of our higher performing anchoring systems
HST4-R stainless steel wedge anchor
Do more with less with our highest-performing stainless steel wedge anchor.
Designed for bearing high static and seismic loads in cracked concrete both indoors and outdoors, this anchor features a patented anti-spin expansion cone that helps eliminate spinning issues for a more reliable installation.
Value engineered
Enabled by application-based, easy-to-use software
When optimizing structural designs, engineers must consider parameters such as safety, productivity, special loading conditions, sustainability, ease of design, and ease of execution.
Our easy-to-use design software, PROFIS Engineering Suite, helps you value engineer your designs based on your application requirements and degrees of freedom. We embed our higher performing hardware and the latest design methods into our software, enabling you to quickly create code compliant designs with lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
PROFIS Engineering also seamlessly connects to various structural design softwares. You can import design cases and export value-engineered designs that hold throughout the construction workflow, reducing the need for re-design.
How can PROFIS make your design process easier?

More peace of mind
spec2SITE solutions help you get what you specify on the jobsite
Proper design is one aspect of ensuring that a structural connection meets its performance requirements. However, it must be combined with proper installation on the jobsite.
During installation, various critical parameters come into play – such as borehole cleaning, accurate mortar dosing, and correct torquing – to ensure each anchor performs optimally.
Do you want more peace of mind that the structural connections you design are properly installed? Hilti’s spec2SITE solutions help make installations faster, simpler, safer and more sustainable. With systems that combine with our onsite support, we help ensure you get what you spec.
More sustainable
We'll support you in reducing your impact and delivering measurable results
Are you facing a growing challenge to report the environmental impact of your projects?
Our SPEC2site systems deliver sustainability transparency through Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and Life-Cycle Assessments (LCA) which are standardized, verified documents reporting a product's environmental impact. They're also needed to meet the requirements of green building certifications on projects.
In addition to incorporating low-label chemical mortars and less carbon-intensive raw materials, our SPEC2site solutions offer opportunities for value engineering that help you reduce steel consumption, mortar volume, and onsite waste.
Where can our SPEC2site solutions help you?
Steel to concrete baseplate connections
HST4 expansion anchors for higher loading in cracked concrete and Adaptive Torque installation
Hollow drill bit for saving installation time PROFIS Engineering software to optimize your baseplate design more quickly and easily, even under seismic loading conditions
Skip manual cleaning of drilled holes
Reduce installation steps with solutions that enable automatic cleaning or do not require cleaning
- Automatic borehole cleaning: Combine hollow drill bits with a Hilti vacuum cleaner to eliminate the need for time-consuming and error-prone manual cleaning.
- Solutions that do not require cleaning: Choose anchors approved for use without borehole cleaning.
Our fastening solutions range from chemical to mechanical to cast-in, covering the most challenging jobsite conditions and applications, like seismic loading and wet concrete conditions.
Take control of adhesive anchor consumption and create less waste
Know exactly how much mortar you are using on the jobsite
- Use our cordless adhesive anchor dispenser to cut waste – inject only the amount you need.
- Choose foil capsule solutions for faster and more precise installations.
Make it easier to torque anchors
Torque in line with approvals or technical data with the Adaptive Torque system
Use our Adapative Torque (AT) system for simpler, faster installation. Reduce your torquing time up to 80% and minimize the risk of under- or over-torquing your fastening applications.
Designed for easy use, including by less experienced workers, the AT system combines an impact wrench and a smart torquing module to help you torque correctly every time.
