Kirkthorpe Hydropower

by Platipus Anchors | Jul 23, 2020 | Civil Engineering & Construction

Sheet Pile Propping: in 2016 Platipus Anchors were part of the construction of the Kirkthorpe Hydropower project on the river Calder. Our B10 Percussion Driven Earth Anchors (PDEA^®) were proof loaded to 120kN to support the sheet piles on what is the largest weir in Yorkshire. Watch the video below to see the impressive scale of the project.
