Nicholson Construction Company - Locations Service Company
Custom manufacturer of anchors for bulkheads and other marine structures are used to provide preloading of structural systems by applying a lock-in tension load in the anchor tendon, which can be comprised of threaded bar or high strength strands/cables. The tendon is then bonded to competent rock or soil by a cement-based grout. The pre-applied load in tendon helps limit in service structure movement. Anchors may be hundreds of feet deep & carry working loads of 50 to 200 tons, with rock anchors for dam stability applications achieving loads over 1,000 tons. Permanent anchors incorporate a variety of corrosion protection systems each of which are applicable to specific soil/rock conditions & level of acceptable risk. In temporary & permanent retaining applications, rock & soil anchors have proven to be a viable & cost-effective alternative to conventional cantilever retaining walls & internally braced systems.
