System description

Components

the anchor is a compression tube anchor

Anchor head and tendon in accordance with

German general approval Z-20.1-17

the anchor load is transferred via an unbonded steel

tendon down to the bottom of the borehole,
and from there via the compression tube and the
grout into the ground
in contrast to other systems, no components of the
high grade steel that remain in the ground after removal
could be obstacles for excavators or TBMs
after their service time
A high removal rate is guaranteed through easy
unscrewing of the threadbar out of its foot anchorage in
conjunction with the coarse DYWIDAG threadform

Plastic sheathing around the tendon guarantees the

bars removability
Foot anchorage, to transfer the anchor load into
the compression tube
Compression tube, consisting of 20 cm long and highly
brittle segments, with predetermined breaking points

Installation of the anchors

Removal

Installation into cased or non-cased sheathing

Unstressing of anchors

diameter of compression tube has to be considered

for choice of drilling equipment

Removal of the anchor head

Limitation of grouting pressure of max. 10 bars for

anchors 26.5 mm to 40 mm

Easy unscrewing of the threadbar out of the

foot anchorage
Pulling out of the high grade tendon out of the borehole
Situation after removal
After the removal of the high grade tendon, only the
plastic sheathing and the short and brittle cast iron tube
segments with their pre-determined breaking points
remain in the ground. They are no obstacles for further
underground works ( e.g. for excavators or TBMs).
Planning and design

Pressureless gravity grouting of the boreholes

for anchors 47 mm

Bond length in accordance with geotechnical

calculation

A screwability check can be carried out a few hours

after the grouting procedure. This guarantees an almost
100% removability rate, as anchors with non-turnable
bars can be drilled out immediately

Typical compression tube length: 1.4 to 2.4 m

Acceptance test in accordance with

DIN 4125 or EN 1537

Anchorage on steel according to steel design

guidelines

Plate anchorage on concrete in accordance with

German general approval Z-20.1-17

Stressing up to lock-off load
