Expanding Anchors

Expanding Anchors: These are the most common type. They feature multiple blades that expand outwards into undisturbed soil when installed. This design maximizes holding capacity by utilizing the full area of the hole. They are available in various sizes with different holding capacities.

Rock Anchors (Expanding): These are specifically designed for anchoring in rock formations. They expand within a drilled hole to provide a secure hold.

Key Features of Antaeus Expanding Anchors:

High Holding Capacity: Designed to provide reliable and strong anchoring in various soil conditions (for "Bust" anchors) or rock.

Efficient Installation: While proper installation is crucial, the expanding design allows for effective anchoring.

Durable Materials: Typically made from steel with protective coatings (like paint or galvanization) for longevity.

Variety of Sizes: Available in different sizes and lengths to suit various application requirements and load capacities.

Compatibility: Designed to be used with specific anchor rods (sold separately).

Common Applications:

Utility Pole Anchoring: Providing stability for overhead power and communication lines.

Tower Anchoring: Securing transmission towers and other vertical structures.

Substation Structures: Anchoring equipment and frameworks within substations.

General Ground Anchoring: For various other applications requiring secure anchoring in soil or rock.

Important Considerations:

Soil/Rock Type: The effectiveness of the anchor depends on the type and condition of the soil or rock. "Bust" expanding anchors are best suited for relatively dry and solid soils. Rock anchors are for, well, rock.

Proper Installation: Correct hole size, anchor placement, and backfill tamping (for "Bust" anchors) are critical for achieving the stated holding capacity. 

Load Requirements: Choose the appropriate anchor size and type based on the anticipated load and environmental factors.

Anchor Rod: Expanding anchors require a separate anchor rod for connection. Ensure you select a compatible rod of the correct diameter and length.
