Site Testing

A site test includes the onsite installation of a mechanical anchor to a determined depth. The installation is normally conducted by the main contractors staff and supervised by an Anchor Systems operative. Once the system is installed the anchor is then tested in line with our report process to identify the ultimate holding capacity of ground (soil mechanics failure).

The test is also conducted to ensure the anchors can be installed either by hand or by machine and to prove the loading requirements that are achievable including any Factor of Safety that has been specified.

Personal Protection Equipment

At Anchor Systems (International) Ltd we strongly recommend that before you install any type of below ground system that the proper safety equipment is worn. Please see below the recommended personal protection equipment:

• Hard hat
• Safety Boots
• Goggles
• Overalls
• Ear Defenders
• Gloves
