Underground Buoyancy Anchoring Kit

As shown on the installation steps/footage, the kits can be easily installed individually meaning real time and labour savings are offered. The kits are supplied as an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution meaning savings can be made on transport as well as handling. The unique design of the anchors means that the anchors can be subtily driven into the soil, avoiding any disturbance to the surrounding soil/trench, before being ‘flipped’ to utilise their top profile to maximise their uplift capabilities.

Wire rope offers several benefits when compared to traditional installation methods. Wire rope ensures that the kits can be supplied in ‘out-of-the-box’ ready-to-use kits meaning the carbon footprint of the project can be significantly reduced. The installation method also provides considerable time and labour savings whilst improving the flexibility of the system – meaning it can be implemented into all types of system easily.

The maximum load for the anchors is 12.0kN – its performance is dependent primarily on the soil type. Contact your local Gripple sales representative to find out more.

Gripple has a soil test method which can easily identify your soil type. Please contact your local Gripple sales representative, or refer to the Underground Buoyancy Anchoring brochure, to find out more.

The nature of the kits means that they can be implemented into all types of systems to fully protect against all upwards forces. The kits can be wrapped around the conduit/conduit bank itself or make use of the spacers/cards as a reinforcement method.

The kits are suitable for use with all types of pipeline/conduit bank. Please contact your local Gripple sales representative to find out how the kit can be incorporated into your project.
