Platipus Anchor Systems

Holequest have been an approved installer of Platipus Earth Anchor systems for over 25 years.  Over that time we have developed a wealth of experience and knowledge in the installation and applications for these anchors.

The Platipus Ground Anchors are effective quick to install mechanical ground anchors for both temporary and permanent works scenarios. These anchors are mechanically driven with drilling rigs, top drive drifters, excavator mounted percussion hammers or in limited access scenarios by handheld heavy breakers / hand driven.

Applications include but are not limited to:

  • Slope Stability
  • Erosion Control
  • Retaining wall stability
  • Backstay restraints
  • Pipe buoyancy control
  • Solar array anchoring

 

With the support of Platipus Ground Anchors’ technical team we offer a full service of investigation, field test, design and installation over the range of products they provide.

Cintec Anchor Systems

Holequest have been approved suppliers and installers for Cintec Anchor Systems for over 30 years. These are used for a wide range of repair, reinforcement and construction-securing projects such as historic buildings, bridges, retaining walls and housing repairs. Cintec anchors range from sophisticated wall ties to solid bar structural anchors over thirty meters in length.

Materials that Cintec anchors will reinforce include:

  • Stone
  • Concrete
  • Brick
  • Timber
  • Submerged construction materials & weak substrates

 

As the anchoring system becomes part of the structure, it does not visibly alter a structure’s appearance.
