Reinforce your excavations with Platipus Anchors.
Discover how Platipus Percussion Driven Earth Anchors (PDEA®) offer a reliable, efficient and safe solution for stabilising slopes up to 70 degrees.
Top-down construction utilising a reinforcement mesh and timber soldiers allows for temporary or permanent stabilisation without heavy engineering.
Once the first row of anchors has been secured, excavation can safely proceed on the layer below. Platipus Anchors can be installed using either a hand-held or plant-mounted hydraulic breaker. Anchors are post-tensioned to the engineer’s determined load (immediately quantifiable), allowing work to continue without delay.
As a Low Carbon Anchoring Solution (LCAS®), Platipus Anchors offers Embodied Carbon reductions and minimises environmental impact. From road and rail to housing developments, engineers can safely support excavations to maximise all available land for commercial and residential use.
