Ground Anchor Installation

A ground anchor is a load transfer system designed to transfer the forces applied to it to a competent stratum. They carry very high loads to hold, restrain or support structures and/or slopes. They can be installed either vertically or in an inclined position and can be either passive or pre-stressed to 110% of working load post-installation. The main purpose of geotechnical ground anchors is to prevent horizontal movement, while stabilising retaining structures, including sheet pile, bored concrete pile and steel tubular walls. Additionally, they can prevent additional movement or stabilise existing retaining walls or bridge abutments. Other applications could be in cofferdams, where internal bracing causes construction problems, in dock walls and marine structures, where dock walls need to be stabilised and strengthened, and on river and canal walls, as tie-backs Ground Anchors can be utilised as either a permanent or temporary component to any construction project.
