Ground anchors, also known as earth anchors, percussion-driven anchors, or mechanical anchors, are versatile devices used to hold, restrain, and support structures in building, civil engineering, and other fields. They can be used for either permanent or temporary applications.

Ground anchors are available in various sizes and capacities, extending up to 70 meters in length and capable of withstanding loads exceeding 3,000 kN. These anchors are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and can be installed from ground level, either manually or using portable equipment, depending on the specific ground conditions.

When loaded, ground anchors exert pressure on a cone of soil around their length, providing exceptional resistance to movement and ensuring structural stability.
