The Manufacturing Process
At the Terrafix manufacturing facility in Germany, all varieties of ground anchor are produced to meet customers needs in hugely differing soil types.
Stock high tensile steel tube lengths have the ground contact end swagged into a point, much like the swagging process on a hydraulic hose sleeve. Around the conical swagged area of the tube an auger flight is robotically welded, the addition of the helical flight adds ground penetration during installation & greatly assists the soil/rock contact integrity. In soft or marshy soils large auger flights are welded to the parallel sides of the tube at the required intervals to offer maximum stability & minimum "sinkage".
Terrafix also have a robotic solar panel mounting frame press that produces framework sections in 6m lengths from a steel roll. leg sections & cross frames are easily bolted together, connecting to the ground anchors & giving a ready "surface" to mount solar panels to.
