Our Solutions
Geotec Steel Anchors
Dextra’s Geotec steel ground anchors can be used in both active and passive applications and also offer corrosion protection along with a wide range of accessories, rebar sizes, and grades.
They can be used in both temporary as well as permanent applications making them versatile and adaptable to suit your project needs.
FRP post-tensioned anchoring solution
An Active Anchors is post-tensioned from the external face of the ground immediately after installation and is usually designed to help prevent deformation of the ground or retained structure. It has a free length and a bonded length.
A typical application for Active Anchors is anchoring of retaining walls during excavation works. To prevent the wall from the smallest displacement, the anchor is pre-loaded.
ASTEC Active Anchors is made of composite material, which is by nature cutable. The tendons can be excavated by any standard equipment, therefore anchor removal is never required.
Passive anchor solution for slope stabilization
A Passive Anchors is not pre-tensioned. Applied loads are transmitted from the ground or ground structure directly. A passive anchor does not usually have a free (unbonded) length of tendon.
A typical application for Passive Anchors is the stabilization of soil-covered slopes, which are constantly moving due to gravity. In that case, Passive hors are inserted from the face of the slope into the stable ground and grouted to provide preventive anchoring in case the soil starts moving.
