Join us for an insightful webinar on X-HVB Shear Connectors and discover how our innovative software transforms the way you design composite beam connections. This session will demonstrate how you can perform seamless design checks for both construction and final stages while ensuring accurate composite checks with optimized shear connector arrangements. You’ll also learn about our nailed shear connectors, a practical and efficient alternative to on-site welding, designed to enhance productivity and reliability. With features like streamlined secondary beam checks, our solutions empower engineers to achieve more in less time.

Learn how Hilti’s MT system helps major projects cut complexity, reduce rework and accelerate installation. This webinar shows how MT profiles, connectors and typical assemblies streamline multi‑trade supports, and value‑engineered designs backed by load‑certified calculations. See how MT integrates with BIM tools, supports prefabrication, and forms a key part of Integrated Project Solutions, reducing total cost of ownership and boosting sustainability on large NZ projects.

This session covers the role of compartmentation, Fire Resistance Levels (FRLs), and the key compliance pathways - Acceptable Solutions, Verification Methods, and Alternative Solutions. Learn how different types of evidence, including fire tests, assessment reports, and third-party certifications (such as UL‑AU), support compliant design and construction. With practical examples, including complex openings, the session highlights best practices for system selection, documentation, and inspection to ensure compliant outcomes on site.

This webinar explains how the latest NZS 3101 amendment introduces clearer pathways for post‑installed anchor qualification and Post‑installed rebar. We connect these changes to international frameworks like TR069 and EC8, and show how Hilti’s ETA‑assessed anchor and PIR systems support compliant, NZ‑ready seismic design.

Discover how Profis Engineering, the industry’s leading post-installed design software, revolutionizes the design process. This webinar highlights key premium features, including seamless integration with structural design software with IdeaStatica Checkbot. Learn how Automated anchor design minimizes manual iterations, saving time and improving efficiency. We’ll also dive into the CBFEM check, ensuring connection rigidity and validating performance. Join us to see how Profis Engineering optimizes designs, enhances accuracy, and accelerates project delivery.

Discover how the new Facade and Anchor Channel modules in Profis Engineering are designed to simplify your workflow and elevate your designs. In this webinar, we’ll explore how these tools help ensure compliance with the latest design standards while delivering accurate and efficient solutions for your projects. We’ll cover: - The key functionalities of these powerful new modules. - How they streamline the compliance process to save you time. - Insights into Hilti’s product portfolio to support your designs. Whether you're an experienced engineer or new to facade and anchor channel design, this session will provide valuable tools and knowledge to enhance your projects.

This session breaks down the upcoming NZBC updates introducing Building Product Substantiation (BPS) and the recognition of products certified overseas. We explain how these changes affect evidence-of-suitability requirements, acceptance routes, and documentation expectations for passive fire systems. Using Hilti’s tested and internationally certified solutions for firestopping, fire collars, wraps, sealants and more, we demonstrate how engineers can simplify compliance, improve design assurance, and specify systems backed by global approvals adapted to NZ needs.

We unpack the engineering basis for rebar‑as‑cast‑in: evidencing equivalency, selecting bar/mortar, deriving development and splice lengths, handling edge/cover limits, installation QA, and typical pitfalls shown through clear Profis Engineering examples and notes you can reuse on your next extension, retrofit or upgrade.

Overhead fixings are where design intent, construction reality and consent scrutiny converge. In this fast‑paced session, we translate the new Code of Practice for the Seismic Performance of Non‑Structural Elements (ER95) into day‑to‑day engineering choices for services, ceilings and equipment supports. We’ll connect ER95’s coordination and QA expectations with the anchor design workflow now governed by EN 1992‑4 (which supersedes TR 045), and the NZ standards designers rely on—NZS 3101 §17.5.5. You’ll leave with clear criteria for when C1 vs C2 is appropriate across NZ hazard levels, how to handle underside‑of‑slab, metal deck and hollow‑core constraints, and how to produce tidy, consent‑ready submittals (spec clauses, calcs and ER95‑aligned QA checklists). We’ll also demonstrate efficient design/reporting workflows with the use of Profis Engineering.
