Typical test procedures involve Lok Testing (Cast-in-Place concrete slabs), Pull Testing (concrete or rock dowels, concrete anchors), Epoxy Bond Testing Concrete/Asphalt, and Performance and Creep Testing (Soil/Rock Anchor).
Kontur provides Post-Tensioning Testing for Rock and Soil Anchors for temporary and permanent bar, strand anchors, and prestressed cables, as well as those involving soil nails or geotextile reinforcements. Ground anchoring finds extensive applications in retaining structures, excavations, slope stabilization projects, and foundation uplift resistance. It is an economical and adaptable technique. Post-tensioned rock and soil anchoring systems for temporary and permanent works can improve the stability of earth slopes, retaining walls, and excavation support.
Testing and monitoring of these can ensure a high-performance solution and can substantially reduce the cost and construction time. Installation, testing, and monitoring of these systems requires specialized drilling and grouting techniques. Load testing of every installed anchor is essential to validate the design through proof tests, and monitoring using load cells is also increasingly adopted. Kontur is highly experienced in this field.
