Ground Anchor Testing
The selection of the correct design, positioning and installation of ground anchors are essential to the overall effectiveness of stabilising a remediation area.
Ground anchor testing is critical to the installation of ground anchors, rock bolts, and soil nails to meet design requirements.
Only experienced and qualified technicians can achieve optimal ground anchor testing results. These heavy-duty anchors, embedded into soil or rock mass, provide critical stability by transferring load through the anchor head and bond length, ensuring the structure remains secure. Each anchor is installed in drilled holes filled with a bonding agent to create a reliable connection between the anchor and the surrounding ground.
Testing verifies the anchor’s performance and confirms it can handle specified load requirements, i.e. the structure receives the highest level of support possible from a ground anchor.
Regular maintenance and testing programs should also be established that are appropriate for the structure’s age and anchor type.
The team from Ground Stabilisation Systems has extensive experience and a deep understanding of the safety factors involved. We conduct extensive testing procedures per our client’s requirements to ensure proper installation, including the support structures involved.

How we approach ground anchors Australia
Ground Stabilisation Systems has the equipment and qualified personnel to conduct comprehensive ground anchor testing. This testing includes checking pre-installed ground anchors and soil nails for correct positioning, length, stability, and strength and ensuring the installation complies with globally recognised ISO standards.
The many projects we have undertaken on behalf of clients have often required us to install permanent or temporary ground anchors and subsequently conduct anchor testing in some locations that can best be described as “extreme.”
An example includes our work at Woolgoolga, where a local road adjacent to a stream had become unstable and unsafe. We used specialised techniques, including ground anchors and soil nails, to re-adjust the road and construct a retaining wall on the low side to ensure stability.
The experience, dedication, and skills acquired on projects like this have equipped GSS to undertake the most challenging ground anchor installation and testing projects.
We are dedicated to completing the job on budget and on time and ensuring the safety of outdoor areas for the local community and on-site workers.
Although ground anchors are typically associated with retaining walls/structures, they are often used to provide additional strength and support to structures such as flood and erosion walls, urban transit projects and bridge structures.
