Understanding Ground Anchors
Ground anchors, also known as soil or rock anchors, are essential geotechnical systems used to provide stability and support to structures and excavations. These anchors transfer tensile loads into stable soil or rock formations, effectively resisting movement and ensuring structural integrity. PTS Solutions understands the critical role of ground anchors and offers comprehensive solutions tailored to the specific geotechnical conditions of each project.
Our Expertise
