Review of the Design Development of a High Performance Anchor System

Particularly onerous positioning restraints, performance criteria and ground conditions called for a design review of available anchor systems and a consequential detailed ground investigation and design. High quality geophysical and geotechnical surveys were performed to establish the nature and characteristics of the ground conditions. The data acquired was used for the selection and design of an anchor system. The soil-structure interaction of the anchor was modelled and analysed for installation, operation and survival conditions.
