TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES
The type of tools and accessories that you select will be to a large extent determined by the system components you intend to use (see Components of the System and Tools and Accessories in the General Overview section, and the Technically Oriented Information section). However, your selection of tools and accessories can also determine how cost-effectively you can have a project undertaken.

Drive Rods



A wide range of drive rods is available in a variety of lengths ranging from 1m to 3m and in diameters of 25mm, 32mm and 38mm diameters. These rods are available in forms suited for both manual installations and for installations employing powered equipment.

Powered Equipment

Over the last decade, we have considerable experience in the use of hydraulic tools and can recommend the systems, in a variety of combinations that will be most appropriate to the specific needs of users. The systems recommended are lightweight, flexible, and with a degree of power that overshadows many alternative systems.












Loadlocking / Stressing



An important advantage of our anchoring systems is the ease with which they can be made ready for use. Loadlocking and stressing can be undertaken with either manual or powered equipment, this equipment can include a load cell that will measure precisely the load carried by the anchor as it is stressed. We can provide a range of equipment to suit all applications in either manual or powered formats, many incorporating hydraulic power.



Tools

A complete range of tools is available to assist with anchor installation and in some cases, special equipment has been developed to speed up or simplify a particular process. However, in most cases only the basic equipment is required to install and loadlock the anchors into the working position.
