We’re Anchor Systems (International) Ltd, specialists in mechanical ground anchoring and alternative foundation solutions since 1995. Our flagship Vulcan Earth Anchor®, alongside innovations like the Anchor Screw and Anchor Post, provide high-performance, no-concrete solutions for the rail, civil engineering, utility, marine, and landscaping sectors.

From stabilising slopes for Network Rail to elevating cable troughs on the London Underground, we’ve built a reputation for safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible anchoring—delivered across the UK, Europe, and beyond.

• Complete Project Support: We offer a full end-to-end service—from early design input and anchor selection to on-site proof testing, installer training, and method statement guidance.

• Tailored Engineering: Our in-house team designs bespoke anchoring solutions to match site-specific loads, ground conditions, and installation constraints.

• Certified to Perform: All our products are backed by technical documentation, including signed design certificates, capacity calculations, and material datasheets, in line with Eurocode 7, CIRIA, and Network Rail standards.

• Sustainable by Design: By avoiding concrete foundations, we reduce carbon, eliminate curing delays, and minimise environmental disruption—making our systems ideal for rapid installs, refurbishments, and sensitive locations.

We’re proud to be part of the Made in Britain network, highlighting the quality of our UK manufacturing and engineering. Our systems have been featured in publications like Rail Professional, where we’re recognised for offering “goodbye concrete” solutions in challenging environments.

• All our designs are supported by independent testing and align with key industry standards:

• Eurocode 7 & BS EN 1997

• CIRIA C760 & CD622

• Network Rail design frameworks

Our ongoing investment in R&D, field testing, and new material development ensures our products stay at the forefront of ground anchoring technology.

We’re a close-knit group of engineers, installers, and technical experts based in Lingfield, Surrey. As a small, hands-on company, we take pride in being personally involved in every stage of a project—from your first phone call to the final anchor test. That means faster decisions, better support, and a real understanding of the challenges you face on site.
