About Us

Decon® is the original North American manufacturer of Studrails®. We are a privately held, stand alone North American operational entity.

Significant growth has occurred during the past several years due to acceptance and promotion of Studrails by several of the largest, well-respected engineering and contracting firms across Canada and the United States, and the addition of the Macalloy product line. We currently have offices located in Brampton (ON), Medford (NJ), Sonoma (CA) and Beaufort (SC).

Our primary product is the Decon® Studrail®, which is an efficient, economical and simple solution to enhance punching shear at slab-column connections. Recently added applications for Studrails® include foundation slabs and post-tension anchorage zones.

We would be pleased to provide additional information on Studrails® in general or on a specific project.

 
History of Decon

Prior to the introduction of Decon® Studrails®, stirrups were often used to enhance the punching shear capacity.
