In the spring of 2012, Portland Bolt was pleased to hear that we were going to be a part of the Firestone Walker Brewing Company’s new brewhouse. We manufactured numerous 3/4” and 1” diameter tie rods ranging from 18’-8” all the way to 32’-6” in A572 grade 50 steel for the 60 barrel brewhouse’s distinctive tower. We assembled each clevis and turnbuckle and marked each rod accordingly to allow the contractor to easily identify their exact location and install them without assembling the tie-rods in the field. With Portland being the microbrew capital of the world, we were more than willing to help a great brewery improve quality and expand production, providing more of these delicious suds to the rest of us.
Our Tie Rod Calculator helped us determine the exact lengths of the rods given pin to pin dimensions. Have questions about tie-rods for your project?
