Anchored Reinforced Grid Solutions – ARGS®
Stabilising slopes offers many significant challenges. Platipus combine Percussion Driven Earth Anchors (PDEA®) with a suitable surface or facing material to make an Anchored Reinforced Grid Solution (ARGS®).
The ARGS® system is ideal for stabilising slopes where over steepening, excess water, poor drainage or lack of deep rooted vegetation have caused erosion or instability.
Benefits of the ARGS® System:
- Simple and cost effective
- Fast and easy installation
- Immediately quantifiable ground anchor loads
- Low environmental impact
- Encourages re-vegetation
- Can be used with most surface or facing materials
- Incorporating Plati-Drain® can reduce pore water pressure
