The Installation Process
Using specially designed tooling, a rubber tracked mini excavator first positions the ground anchor over the intended location, then gets the anchor shaft "plumb" using small hydraulic adjustments before a slow speed, high torque hydraulic motor begins the process of winding the ground anchor into the soil profile. The process is somewhat like a "Yankee" screwdriver riving a wood screw into timber, but on a much larger scale. some ground anchors are up to 2.0m high & 0.5m diameter (max.).
A patented "drive dog" system ensures the ground anchor is positively driven even in the hardest conditions & indeed wound out when required. Action can be either clockwise & anticlockwise.
Should the ground anchor need to be removed for any reason at a later date the process is entirely reversible.
Each Ground anchor is individually galvanised dipped to ensure maximum product lifespan even in wet acidic soils.
After a grid of anchors is installed any form of framework can be installed via bolt fixings to the top surface of the anchors.
