ANCHORS

We can install:

CONCRETE BULB ANCHORS

■ Concrete bulb anchors are used to support retaining and support walls, especially applied to slurry walls, secant piles, steel sheet piles, micropiles.

■ We have the equipment for mounting the threaded bar anchors and software for choosing the type and length.

DUCKBILL ANCHORS (METAL ANCHORS)

Duckbill anchors are used both for permanent and temporary cases, having the possibility to extract the rod after de-tensioning, and the bulb is the only thing that remains in the ground. They can support loads up to 450kN.

APPLICATIONS & TYPICAL USES

✔ Sheet piles & trench sheeting
✔ Road & Rail embankments & cuttings
✔ Retaining walls
✔ Bridge abutments
✔ Temporary re-locatable structures
✔ Pipelines & bouys
✔ Floating docks
✔ Revetment matting
✔ Coastal defences

TIE-RODS

➟ The tie rods are used in port structures, hydrotechnical works and land reclamation.
➟ The most common role is to unite the main wall with the anchor wall to ensure the stability of the structure.
➟ Often encountered at vertical quay walls, where the main sheet pile wall is supported by an anchor wall, also made using steel sheet piles.

STEEL SHEET PILES

Steel Sheet Piles are structural elements typically used in geotechnical works, as retention walls. They replace Diaphragm Walls and Secant / Tangent Pilots and they are installed much faster and in many cases at a lower cost.

STONE COLUMNS

Stone Columns installation is a convenient method for improvement of soft ground. Stone Columns are used to improve the infrastructure of roads, railways and buildings. We work with two technologies: Vibroflot Stone Columns, Geotextile Encased Stone Columns (Ringtrac®).

DIAPHRAGM WALLS

Diaphragm walls are subsurface reinforced concrete structures formed and cast in slurry trenches. Excavation is accomplished by digging panels along temporary guide walls using a mechanical or hydraulic clam shell attached to a rig or crane.

RIGID INCLUSIONS

Rigid inclusions are an economically advantageous form of land improvement. There are unreinforced concrete columns, installed to take vertical loads. Our teams can install Rigid Inclusions by vibration, using the Silent Piling method or using a drilling rig.

CONCRETE PILES

We execute concrete piles for ground improvement under the foundation and for retaining walls, having the following technologies: CFA – Continuous Flight Auger, CFA with Vibrated Casing, Screw Piles, Micropiles, Precast Concrete Piles.

DEWATERING SYSTEMS

Dewatering Systems are installations that allow excavating and constructing foundations below groundwater level, thus enabling dry work surfaces. Our company performs several types of dewatering works.
