Self Drilling Anchor System Benefits

  • Integrated Drilling and Grouting: Combines three steps into one simple process. This reduces installation time and requires less equipment, boosting construction productivity.

  • Superior Performance in Poor Ground: Stabilizes loose soils without temporary casing. Continuous grout injection secures the borehole and ensures optimal load transfer and a stronger bond.

  • Flexibility and Versatility: The fully-threaded bar allows the anchor to be cut or extended. This makes the system highly adaptable for use in confined spaces and diverse stabilization projects.

  • Enhanced Safety and Cost Efficiency: Simplifying installation improves overall site safety. Faster operation cuts down on labor costs and shortens project schedules, providing economic value.

Self Drilling Anchor System Applications

  • Tunneling and Underground Excavation: We supply SDAs for immediate rock reinforcement of tunnel faces. They provide pre-support and stability in loose ground.

  • Slope and Embankment Stabilization: We offer SDA systems for soil nailing to reinforce unstable slopes. This prevents landslides and ground movement.

  • Foundation Underpinning and Micropiles: We provide anchors used as micropiles to strengthen existing foundations. This supports structures in areas with weak soils.

  • Retaining Walls and Earth Retention: We supply anchors for securely tying back retaining walls. This resists lateral pressures from the soil.

  • Mining Operations: We manufacture systems for ground support in underground mines. They are critical for roof and rib bolting for immediate safety.

Customize Your Desired Self Drilling Anchor System

Thread Profile

We customize the thread profile, offering both R-thread (rope) and T-thread (trapezoidal) SDA systems, or hybrid options. The choice depends on the required bond strength, load capacity, and the ground type you encounter. We manufacture threads to ensure the best possible grout-to-ground load transfer and optimal self-cleaning action during the drilling and grouting phases.

Material and Corrosion Protection

We tailor the material and protective coatings to combat environmental aggressions like corrosive soil or high salinity. We offer standard steel, duplex-coated (galvanized and epoxy), and stainless steel (316L, 2205) SDA bars. This crucial customization ensures the necessary service life and structural resilience for both temporary and permanent applications.

Anchor Bar Diameter and Length

We adjust the diameter and length of the SDA bar to suit the specific load requirements and drilling depth of your site. Larger diameters increase load capacity, while custom lengths minimize waste and on-site coupling time. We provide precise bar specifications to match your drilling rig’s capability and the required geotechnical stability calculations.

Drill Bit Design

We customize the drill bit design to maximize penetration rate and efficiency across different ground conditions, from loose sand and gravel to hard rock and fractured ground. We supply various types, including clay, cross, and button bits. Matching the drill bit ensures an efficient single-pass installation and optimizes the grout-mixing chamber formation in the borehole.

what is self drilling anchor system?

The Self Drilling Anchor System (SDA) is an innovative geotechnical solution that integrates drilling, grouting, and anchoring into a single, efficient operation. The system uses a hollow threaded bar with a sacrificial drill bit that simultaneously drills into the ground while grout is injected through its core. 

We manufacture this system to provide immediate ground stabilization in challenging ground conditions like loose soil or fractured rock, eliminating the need for separate casing or pre-drilled holes.

what is self drilling anchor system used for?

The Self Drilling Anchor System (SDA) is an essential tool in modern civil and geotechnical engineering, specifically designed for use in unstable or complex ground conditions where conventional anchoring is difficult.

We supply SDA systems that simultaneously reinforce the surrounding ground while installing the anchor. This method is crucial for ensuring immediate and long-term stability across a diverse range of critical infrastructure projects.

  • Tunneling and Mining We supply SDA systems for ground pre-support and immediate rock bolting in newly excavated tunnel faces and mine openings. They are crucial for stabilizing fractured rock or loose soil, ensuring worker safety and preventing collapses. The system’s speed allows for quicker cycle times in underground development.

  • Slope Stabilization and Soil Nailing We offer SDAs for soil nailing applications to reinforce steep slopes and embankments susceptible to movement. The anchors create a stable composite block by connecting the soil mass to the ground. This system is highly effective in preventing landslides and maintaining the integrity of roadway and railway infrastructure.

  • Foundation Underpinning and Micropiling We manufacture SDA systems used as micropiles to reinforce existing foundations or provide deep foundation support for new structures in soft ground. The ability to install these anchors in confined spaces and through difficult layers makes them an invaluable solution for strengthening older buildings and bridges.

  • Earth Retention and Tie-Backs We provide anchors used as tie-backs for temporary and permanent earth retention structures, such as deep excavations or cofferdams. The anchors resist the lateral pressure exerted by retained soil, ensuring the stability of retaining walls and bulkheads during and after construction.

how to install self drilling anchor systems?

Installing a Self Drilling Anchor (SDA) System is highly efficient because it combines several geotechnical steps into one continuous operation. This method minimizes drilling time and ensures the borehole is immediately supported, especially in collapsing or weak ground. We have refined the process into key stages, ensuring accuracy, safety, and high performance for all our customers’ projects.

  • Equipment Setup and Pre-Assembly We start by mobilizing the appropriate drilling rig, grout pump, and mixer to the site. The sacrificial drill bit is securely attached to the first SDA hollow bar segment. We ensure the grout feed line is properly connected to the bar’s exposed end. This meticulous preparation is vital for maintaining continuous operation once drilling begins.

  • Simultaneous Drilling and Grouting The drill rig rotates and advances the SDA bar into the ground to the required depth. Simultaneously, we pump high-strength cementitious grout through the hollow bar. This crucial step serves to both flush out cuttings and immediately stabilize the borehole, guaranteeing the anchor is perfectly bonded and fully encapsulated within the soil or rock.

  • Anchor Extension (If Needed) For deep applications, the installation continues by coupling additional SDA bar segments using our threaded couplers. This process is seamless, maintaining the rotary advance and grout injection without interruption. This efficient coupling allows us to reach extreme depths while minimizing overall construction time and maintaining anchor continuity.

  • Head Installation and Tensioning Once the SDA reaches its design depth and the grout cures sufficiently, we install the bearing plate and securing nut onto the exposed end of the bar. The plate distributes the load onto the surface structure. We can then apply post-tensioning if the design requires an active anchor load, completing the permanent ground support system.
