Ground anchors for geotechnical and special works

EKKAF constructs and supplies prestressed ground anchors for deep excavations, retaining walls, slope stabilisation, foundation strengthening, tunnel and dam support, and other special geotechnical projects.

Anchor types

  • Temporary anchors: for deep excavation support with a service life of up to two years, with simple tendon protection.
  • Permanent anchors: with double corrosion protection for works requiring a service life beyond two years — dams, retaining walls, permanent slope stabilisation.
  • Controlled-force anchors: restressable, with optional load cells for long-term monitoring of the anchorage.

Applications

  • Deep excavation support in urban environments (buildings, metro stations, underground works).
  • Slope stabilisation on road and railway projects.
  • Foundation strengthening and anchoring against uplift or sliding.
  • Tunnel and underground excavation support.
  • Stability of dams and reservoirs.

Full scope of works

EKKAF's specialised crews handle anchor fabrication (tendons, spacers, grout tubes), installation in the borehole, grouting of the bond length, stressing with calibrated equipment, and suitability and acceptance tests according to European standards. Every anchor is delivered with a complete stressing protocol.
