01 / What is a ground anchor

Tensioned tendon transferring load to competent strata.

A ground anchor (also called a post-tensioned soil/rock anchor) is a high-capacity tensile element drilled into the ground, grouted into a bond zone in competent strata, then post-tensioned to lock load into the structure being restrained. Unlike soil nails (passive, smaller, shorter), ground anchors are active (pre-stressed) and engineered for much higher loads - typically 500-1500 kN working load.

Ground anchors are used when soil nailing is not enough: very high retaining walls, deep excavation propping under buildings, dam tie-back retrofits, post-failure slope reinforcement on critical assets. Each anchor is individually load-tested before being put into service.

02 / Ground anchor scope we deliver

Permanent and temporary anchors, full installation cycle.

Permanent anchors

Double-corrosion-protected (DCP) tendon (multistrand or single bar). Cement grout bond zone in competent strata. Free length sleeved + greased. Anchor head with bearing plate + locking system. Design life 75-120 years. Used on permanent retaining walls, anchored bored-pile walls.

Temporary anchors

Single-corrosion-protected tendon. Cement grout bond zone. Used during deep excavation to prop sheet-pile or contiguous-bored-pile walls until permanent structure is in place. De-tensioned and abandoned at end of service.

Drilling + grouting

Rotary or rotary-percussive drilling to bond-zone depth (typically 8-25 m). Cement grout pumped under controlled pressure. Bond zone tested for capacity before tendon installation.

Stressing + lock-off

Stressed to 125% design load (proof test) then locked off at 100%. Full load-deflection curve recorded for QA report. Suitable for federal / authority submission.

03 / Where ground anchors apply

Five common Malaysian ground anchor use cases.

1. High retaining walls

Walls over 8-12 m height where soil nail / RC cantilever / MSE alone won't satisfy stability. Anchored RC or sheet-pile walls common in deep highway cuts.

2. Deep excavation propping

Basement excavations 8-25 m deep, contiguous-bored-pile or secant walls anchored back into competent strata to prevent inward deflection.

3. Post-failure slope reinforcement

When standard soil nails are insufficient (slip surface very deep, very high required capacity). High-capacity anchors stitched across the failure plane.

4. Hill-station / federal expressway cuts

Genting / Cameron / EKVE-style very high cuts where slope geometry forces anchored solutions for slope stability.
