Plati-Drain® Horizonal Drainage Systems
Plati-Drain is a unique patented solution that reduces pore water pressure within clay slopes and behind retaining walls.
The Platipus percussion driven earth anchors offer a lightweight corrosion resistant anchor that can be driven from ground level using conventional portable equipment.
It creates minimal disturbance in the soil during installation; can be stressed to an exact holding capacity and made fully operational immediately. As a completely dry system it also has minimal impact on the environment.
The Platipus Buoyancy Control Anchoring System has a number of attachments and tensioning devices to connect to the pipe or tank being anchored. This is a quick and cost effective way to prevent structures floating when installed in areas with high ground water.
Platipus® and PDEA® are Registered Trademarks of Platipus Anchor, registered in England.
Non- cohesive soils are stronger soils (dry crumbly) and therefore better to work with. Cohesive soil is not so good as there is a lot of water in the soil (clay soil type).
No – the anchor itself does not fail, the soil fails, and therefore an engineer must be involved to determine the type, length and spacing’s of the anchors.
Anchoring can be used for anything. Most common are TRM (turf reinforcement matting), walls such as gabion walls.
Anchors help with stabilizing:
Geo’s have a crimp lock whereas ARGS’s have a wedge lock.

Yes, in some situations. The best way is to get as much detailed information as possible so we can offer a solution.

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.
As part of the refurbishment of a protective netting for research and development for growing wheat in Australia, Platipus anchoring systems were used to secure and hold down a large netting protection arrangement against rodents and vermin.
A small, already existing, embankment slope located in Noosa in Queensland required slope repair and stability. Platipus anchoring systems were used with a geosynthetic permanent erosion control matting for a ‘combination solution.’
