Anchorages

Anchors are a cost-effective solution for securing various types of retaining walls, temporary excavation shoring, and permanent slope stabilization, including retaining structures tailored to specific structural conditions. TITAN micropiles, used as tension piles in accordance with DIN EN 14199, have proven to be economical alternatives to permanently prestressed ground anchors under DIN EN 1537.

Additionally, our micropiles are ideal for temporary applications (less than 2 years). Temporary grouted anchor installation is performed according to DIN EN 1537 in conjunction with German Technical Specification DIN SPEC 18537.

The installation process has little to no vibration, using compact, lightweight equipment, making it suitable even for difficult-to-access areas.

The advantages of TITAN micropiles when used as anchors

  • Pile head details can be incorporated in the superstructure.
  • Permanent monitoring is unnecessary.
  • The system allows for compensation of pile angles through the use of an appropriate head detail.
  • Our extensive product range allows for selecting a cost-effective solution tailored to the specific loads.
  • According to the approval, our piles can carry design loads of up to 489 kip.
  • Higher loads for single piles are possible within the scope of an individual project approval.
  • Can be installed using compact equipment that occupies less space on the jobsite
  • The pile drilling location does not necessarily need to be directly in front of the drilling rig.

Hydraulic engineering structures

Sheet pile walls and concrete walls used in hydraulic engineering structures require permanent anchoring. Typical applications include:

  • Waterfront facilities
  • Waterfront structures
  • Waterfront walkways
  • Flood walls
  • Locks
  • Sluices
  • Turning basins

These projects can involve both new construction and renovations of existing structures.

Transport Infrastructure

ISCHEBECK TITAN micropiles are used in structures for roads, railways and canals.
TITAN micropiles are used in many road construction applications:

  • Slope stabilisation
  • Road edge stabilization
  • Underpasses

In railway applications, TITAN micropiles are employed for refurbishing existing retaining structures, constructing new embankments, stabilizing slopes, and installing new lines under bridges.

Micropiles are commonly utilized in canal construction for both new projects and extensions to existing canals. For further details, refer to the section on hydraulic engineering structures.

Excavation shoring

In excavation projects, our systems serve as temporary anchors for sheet pile walls, bearing pile walls, cast-in-place pile walls, and diaphragm walls.

Slope stabilization

Slopes can also be stabilized using anchored retaining structures. In such instances, micropiles can be installed as permanent anchors for various types of retaining structures, including new constructions or renovations of retaining walls that need anchoring to secure slopes located above and behind the structure.

Examples of slope stabilization without the indirect load transfer through retaining structures are detailed in the section on soil nailing.
