Anchors can be used to aid in fixing a new structure in position increasing its resistance to external forces or in strengthening an existing historical structure.

A ground anchor is a load transfer system designed to transfer tension forces applied to it to a competent rock horizon below.  Ground anchors are used in both temporary and permanent work designs. Ticeans Engineering Ltd can provide the design, equipment and extensive expertise to install ground anchors in all locations (including marine) and all applications whilst providing records and BS testing for completed installations and sign off. Projects include Ilfracombe Harbour wall and Pendennis super yacht wet basin.
