Platipus Earth Anchors for Civil Engineering & Construction
Platipus Anchors are the global market leaders in the design, manufacture and supply of Percussion Driven Earth Anchors (PDEA®). Founded in 1982, we are renowned for providing some of the most innovative and cost-effective ground anchor solutions for the Civil Engineering and Construction industries.
The Percussion Driven Earth Anchor (PDEA®) is a unique, modern and versatile device that can be rapidly deployed in most displaceable ground conditions. It offers a lightweight corrosion resistant ground anchor that can be driven from ground level using conventional portable equipment. It creates minimal disturbance of the soil during anchor system installation, can be stressed to an exact holding capacity and made fully operational immediately. As a completely dry system it also has minimal environmental impact.
