A ground anchoring system widely used in civil engineering, landscaping and construction.
Percussive driven earth anchors (PDEAs) consist of a metal anchor driven into the ground and tensioned with a load-locking system, creating a secure and immediate fixing point without the need for large concrete foundations.
They provide temporary or permanent ground support for construction and civil engineering projects — ideal for securing retaining walls and slopes, and anchoring structures and foundations in challenging environments.
— what we do.
Fast Installation
No excavation or grouting required — installed with lightweight equipment.
Immediate Load Capacity
The anchor holds immediately after installation, once load-locked.
Low Carbon
No concrete required — reducing the carbon footprint by up to 90%.
Versatile & Discreet
Temporary or permanent works, with pattress plates to suit the structure’s aesthetics.
— our benefits.
Benefits of earth anchors
- No concrete required — a fast, low-carbon alternative to traditional foundations
- Rapid installation with hand tools or lightweight equipment
- Immediate load capacity once load-locked
- Environmentally friendly — minimal soil disturbance and excavation
- Cost-effective — lower labour, transport and material costs
- Versatile — suitable for temporary or permanent works across soil types
- Discreet and aesthetic — pattress plates to suit heritage or highway structures
- Carbon footprint reduced by up to 90% versus conventional foundations
— frequently asked questions.
FAQ
What are percussive driven earth anchors?
PDEAs are ground stabilisation systems installed by driving anchors into soil or rock to create a secure fixing point. They provide temporary or permanent ground support for construction and civil engineering projects.
When should they be used?
They suit slope stabilisation, retaining structures, tree anchoring, erosion control, temporary and permanent structures, and utility or pipeline support — anywhere a secure fixing is needed without concrete.
Why choose earth anchors over concrete foundations?
They install fast with no excavation or grouting, provide immediate load capacity, and significantly reduce labour, materials and carbon — by up to 90% compared with conventional foundations.
Can they be used on heritage or highway structures?
Yes. Pattress plates can be concealed or placed on the face of structures to suit the aesthetics required, whether on a highway or a heritage structure.
