Get to Know Our Products

Our range of high-performance anchoring and foundation systems is designed to support projects across rail, highways, geotechnical, civil engineering, marine and more. Each solution offers proven strength, rapid installation and reliable long-term performance, helping engineers and contractors deliver safer, faster and more efficient works in any environment.

Vulcan Earth Anchors

The Vulcan Earth Anchor is our flagship mechanical ground anchoring system, engineered for both permanent and temporary works where immediate load-locking is essential. It is widely used for slope stabilisation, embankment reinforcement, retaining walls, sheet piles, trench sheeting, gabion baskets, geotextiles and erosion control. The system also performs exceptionally well in marine, coastal and riverbank environments. Offering industry-leading performance, rapid installation and minimal environmental impact, the Vulcan range has become the preferred anchoring solution for engineers seeking reliable and efficient ground reinforcement.

Anchor Screw

The Anchor Screw is a recyclable, concrete-free foundation designed for fast, low-disruption installation using handheld equipment. Its immediate load capability makes it a highly effective solution for rail signage, LOC cabinets, RRAPs, minor rail assets, open cable management, temporary works, lightweight structures and environmental or horticultural applications. With consistent performance, exceptional speed and minimal ground disturbance, the Anchor Screw provides one of the most efficient and sustainable modern foundation methods available.

Anchor Screw Piles

Anchor Screw Piles offer a strong, dependable foundation for heavier and long-term structures, delivering high load capacity through a clean, predictable installation process. They are commonly used for platforms, walkways, modular buildings, bridge abutments, cabins, elevated access routes and other structures located on difficult or restricted-access sites. Available in both 60mm and 76mm sizes, our screw piles provide durable, precise and repeatable performance across a wide range of challenging ground conditions.
