Platipus® – Buoyancy Control Anchoring System
The Platipus® percussion driven earth anchors offer a lightweight corrosion resistant anchor that can be driven from ground level using conventional portable equipment.
ABOUT
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.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
- Proven design solutions for buoyancy control of small and large pipelines
- Significant time and cost saving over concrete coatings, set on or bolt on weights and bags
- Minimal environmental damage
- Proof testing of each anchor upon installation
- Application designed webbing for fat installation with no damage to pipes or their coating
- Installation before or after the pipe is laid
- No specialist installation equipment required
- Flexible anchor selection for varying soil conditions
- No cathodic protection required
