Zero-impact Ground Anchors

Percussion Driven Earth Anchors [PDEA] - a lightweight corrosion resistant anchor. Creates minimal disturbance of the soil during installation, can be stressed to an exact holding capacity and made operational immediately. As a completely dry system it also has minimal impact on the environment.

4 anchors at each end of the Rope Bridge [8 in total]. Ground buried anchor systems installed by driving the anchor with hand-held hydraulic breaker and drive rods. With the anchor at a 3m depth the rods are removed. The anchor is then load-locked. Each anchor is independently tested to 50kN.

  • Anchor Type: B6

  • Dimensions: 336 206 x 91mm

  • Projected Surface Area: 45,500 sq/mm

  • Materials: SG Cast Iron

  • Typical Load Range: 30-100kN

  • Minimum Driven Depth: 3m

  • Tendon: 12mm x 4m length stainless steel cable for permanent installation. 4m length tendon allows for at least a 3m depth ground burial with a one metre surface tail. The in ground tendon is installed in stainless steel cable for permanent burial.
