Underground Buoyancy Anchoring Kit
The Underground Buoyancy Anchoring Kit provides complete control over the upward forces & flotation in underground MEP services.
Underground Buoyancy Anchoring - How It Works
Underground Buoyancy Anchoring
Gripple’s Underground Buoyancy Anchoring kit is a solution which has been specifically engineered to prevent all uplift in any MEP services which are at risk of flotation.
Download Brochure Enquire NowThe Underground Buoyancy Anchoring kit is attached to below-ground conduit banks/pipelines to protect against all flotation. Anchors are driven into the ground using lightweight tools, using the anchor’s design and ‘flip’ to ‘load-lock’ into the soil’s engineering properties. The anchor is then activated by attaching to the conduit card/spacer, or using a support bracket as a reinforcement method, and using the D3 Lockable Plus as a tensioning mechanism – allowing complete control over any uplift despite considerably less materials then traditional methods.
- Versatile – The Underground Buoyancy Anchors are specifically designed with a narrow frontal profile for ease of install and a wide top profile to maximize load capabilities – meaning that they are suitable for most ground types.
- Lightweight – the kits are supplied as a lightweight out-of-the-box solution which can be installed using lightweight tools.
- Undisruptive – the ground’s engineering properties can be accessed with minimal soil disturbance which therefore maintains the strength of the trench walls.
- Strong – the kits fully protects against all upward forces.
