The Judy
Company develops and installs anchoring systems of rock bolts, rock
anchors, tiebacks, tiedowns, earth anchors, soil nails, concrete
anchors, and post-tensioned tendons.
Anchors are
durable, reliable, economical tension supports used in a wide
variety of construction environments to stabilize and augment the
strength of the structure. Made of high strength steel bars or
strands, they can be bonded to rock, concrete and many types of
soil. Anchors are used to counteract external, overturning, uplift,
and seismic forces, and are used actively (pre-stressed) or
passively (non-stressed).
Soil and rock
nails are fully grouted, non-tensioned anchors used to resist uplift
forces and failure forces on slopes or excavations. The nails endure
residual stresses in soil or rock (broken or solid) for load
transfer. Passive anchors are generally used where pre-stressing is
either not possible or desirable.
Rock and
concrete anchors are pre-stressed tendons which can be configured in
bars or multiple strands. A portion of the tendon length is bonded
to rock or concrete by cement grout, resin, or fixed by a mechanical
anchor. The upper portion, or free length, is left ungrouted for
pre-stressing, but is grouted afterwards to lock in tension and
protect against corrosion.
