The Advantages
Compare the advantages of the Friction Rock Stabiliser system over any other ground support system.
| Immediate full length anchor rock reinforcement | Can be used in any excavation geometry | Axial and radial support | |
| Instant full load-bearing capacity | Not prone to tensile failure | Minimal stress concentration | |
| Excellent yielding characteristics | Simple design | If bearing plate knocked off, support is maintained | |
| Individually marked for full traceability | Simple installation procedure | Available in black or hot dip galvanised steel | |
| When rock displaces, forces increase | Made to customer specifications | Millions of successful installations worldwide | |
| No ancillary equipment required | Can inspect visually | One international standard | |
| Accommodates large ground movements | Unlimited shelf life | Experienced technical assistance | |
| No pressurising or mixing | Insensitive to blast variations | ||
| No torquing or retorquing | |||
| High tolerance to variations in bore hole diameter | |||
| Loads rock in compression |
