Geotechnical & Civil Engineering

In geotechnical and civil engineering projects, precision and reliability are paramount. Our anchoring systems have been designed to deliver both — providing immediate, high-load solutions for applications such as soil retention, slope stabilisation, excavation support, and erosion control.

The Vulcan Earth Anchor and Sock Anchor are suitable for a wide range of soil types and site conditions, from cohesive clays to granular fills. Installed using simple hydraulic or percussive equipment, they can be tensioned immediately to achieve the required load without the need for curing or heavy foundations. This flexibility makes them ideal for both temporary works and permanent structures, offering engineers a reliable, low-carbon alternative to traditional concrete or driven pile systems.

Backed by decades of proven field performance, Anchor Systems provides full design and testing support to ensure the optimal anchoring configuration for every project.

Vulcan Earth Anchor

Designed for complex and demanding geotechnical conditions, the Vulcan Earth Anchor delivers dependable performance in applications such as retaining structures, slope stabilisation, and deep excavations. The system provides immediate load capacity and verified performance, allowing safe tensioning and testing during installation.

With a wide range of sizes and accessories, it can be adapted to suit diverse soil profiles and engineering requirements.

Sock Anchor

The Sock Anchor offers a robust, grouted anchoring method for civil engineering projects requiring enhanced strength in weak or variable soils. Installed through a pre-drilled borehole, its grout sock expands to form a high-strength bond with the surrounding material.

This makes it ideal for retaining walls, underpinning, and long-term stabilisation works in complex ground conditions.
