Platipus® – Buoyancy Control Anchoring System
PlatipusBuoyancy Control Anchoring Systems have a number of attachments and tensioning devices to connect to pipes or tank being anchored.
Plati-Drain is a unique patented solution that reduces pore water pressure within clay slopes and behind retaining walls.
Water saturation, due to heavy rainfall and insufficient drainage, leads to the softening of clay soils within slopes and increases hydraulic forces behind earth retaining structures.
Plati-Drain is a unique patented solution that reduces pore water pressure within clay slopes and behind retaining walls. Unlike conventional weep holes Plati-Drain provides deep penetration, this can be in excess of 10m / 33′. It can also help prevent shallow or deep seated slope failures.
Available as a ‘Passive’ or ‘Active’ solution. The ‘Passive’ system uses a sacrificial anchor head to drive the Plati-Drain into its optimum position providing an immediate channel for water to drain.
The ‘Active’ system has an additional wire tendon attached to the anchor which allows it to be load locked, providing simultaneous draining and restraining capability.

Platipus percussion driven mechanical anchors are a unique, modern and versatile device that can be rapidly deployed in most displaceable ground conditions.
Stabilizing slopes offer significant challenges. Many times the lack of deep rooted vegetation, excess water, poor drainage, and over steepening makes them susceptible to erosion or instability.
