Earth or rock anchors generally consist of steel elements (bars or strands) grouted in a drilled hole. The bars or strands are subsequently tensioned. This provides lateral or vertical force to resist movement of a retaining structure. Anchors are often used for excavation support, or as a part of permanent retaining walls, or to resist up-lift forces on foundations. Rembco uses rock anchors to stabilize slopes and walls, provide tiebacks for bridges, stabilize dams, and secure caisson bottoms.
Anchors and bolts can have very high load capacities. over 25 years, Rembco has installed many different sizes and lengths. The largest had a working load of 1,000 kips.
