FAQ: Can You Really Install The Anchors By Hand?

Yes! Vulcan Earth Anchors are engineered for versatility and ease of installation. These anchors can be driven into the ground using hydraulic or percussion equipment, with minimal disruption to the surrounding structure or area. For smaller anchors, such as those in the AS-01 to AS-50 range, installation can often be completed by hand using brute force or lightweight hydraulic handheld tools.

When specifying the appropriate Vulcan Earth Anchor for your project, we will consider factors such as access to the wall, slope, or structure to ensure the most suitable installation method is selected. For projects requiring larger anchors or higher load capacities, such as anchors installed with percussion equipment, we work closely with the project designer to identify solutions if access is restricted.

For instance, if installation of a larger anchor proves challenging, we may recommend adjusting the anchor centres or increasing the number of anchors to distribute the load effectively. This approach ensures optimal performance while accommodating site-specific constraints.

Whether you’re working on a slope stabilisation project, retaining wall, or securing infrastructure in a challenging location, Vulcan Earth Anchors offer flexible and efficient installation options tailored to your project needs.
