Ground anchors have been used
for years in civil engineering
works to ensure the stability of
embankment sheet pile walls.

The first bored and pre-stressed
ground anchors, however, only
appeared some fifty years ago.

The ground anchor is a tensioned
device used to stabilise the
construction to which it is fixed
in loose or rocky soil.


The pre-stressed anchor rod combines
two totally different specialties :

• geological knowledge of the
  ground
• pre-stressing of the steel
