Ground Anchors

Gautamee is the recognised leader in providing rock and soil anchoring solutions to the civil engineering and construction markets.

Ground anchors are effectively restraining devices used in many different types of structures including retaining walls, dams, wharves, bridge abutments and foundations for buildings. Ground anchors are stressed (active anchorage) to prevent structural movement and they typically transfer their load over a fixed length.

These are commonly referred to as tension anchors and are suited for strong rock conditions. For anchors founded in soil or weak rock, load distributive compressive (and tension) anchors are used as they rely on the succession of small successive bond lengths rather than one unique longer bond length.
