ANCHORAGE OF EARTH AND ROCK SLOPES
VERTICAL GROUP Ltd. provides professional anchoring of rock slopes, stabilization of rock masses and strengthening of steep and difficult-to-access terrain using the rope access method (alpine method). The service is designed to secure infrastructure, roads, railways, industrial facilities and urbanized areas at risk of collapse or landslide of rock and earth masses.
By applying modern technologies for deep anchoring and using certified anchoring systems, we ensure long-term stability and safety of slopes, slopes and vertical terrain. The work is carried out by specialized teams with qualifications for high-altitude construction activities and rope access, which allows for effective implementation without the need for heavy mechanization and scaffolding.
Anchoring of rock slopes is a key element of modern geoprotection and landslide prevention systems, especially in complex terrain and limited access.
TYPES OF ANCHORS AND TECHNOLOGIES
Anchoring is an engineering solution for strengthening unstable rock and soil masses by installing steel anchors in pre-drilled holes. The aim is to improve the stability of the massif by transferring the loads to deeper and more stable geological layers.
Drilling is carried out with lightweight carriages that allow work on steep and high slopes. Thanks to rope access, the activity can be carried out regardless of the slope, height or difficulty of the terrain.
The anchors used to secure the terrain are:
SELF-DRAINING (IBO) ANCHORS
They consist of a hollow anchor rod, a drilling crown, a sleeve, a plate and a nut. They are suitable for unstable and friable terrains, where drilling and injection are carried out simultaneously. They ensure high load-bearing capacity and quick installation.
DENSE (GEWI) ANCHORS
Constructed of rigid steel rods with spacers, plate and nut. They are used in more stable geological conditions and allow for significant anchoring depth and a high degree of stabilization.
ROPE ANCHORS
Made of galvanized spiral steel wire ropes with eye and spacers, they are particularly suitable for applications requiring greater flexibility and dynamic loads.
APPLICATIONS OF ANCHOR SYSTEMS
Unstable rock slopes pose a serious risk to nearby transportation infrastructure, residential buildings, and industrial sites.
Falling rocks and landslides can lead to material damage, disruption of transport links and danger to passing people and vehicles. For this reason, rock anchoring is widely used in:
- strengthening and stabilization of slopes in the immediate vicinity of road and railway infrastructure
- securing rock masses in urbanized areas;
- "packing" slopes with high-strength steel mesh;
- securing residential and public buildings located near risky slopes
- barrier structures against landslides during intense rainfall;
- strengthening of landslides and erosion zones.
