Corrosion Protection for Permanent

Bar Anchors

Debond Sleeve

Threadbar

Permanent Anchors (lifespans in excess of

2 years) require sufficient corrosion
protection to ensure durability throughout
the working life of each anchor.
Double Corrosion Protection, featuring
factory pregrouted encapsulation of the bar
within a corrugated plastic sheath, ensures
comprehensive protection to all parts of the
anchor. Protection at the anchor head is
provided by a fully enclosed assembly.

Technical Data

The same principles of corrosion protection

for Permanent Bar Anchors apply for
Permanent Strand Anchors, to ensure
durability throughout the lifespan.
For Permanent Strand Anchors, Double
Corrosion Protection is achieved by two
independent layers of plastic sheathing
as follows:

Borehole Grout

Secondary Grout
(applied in situ)
Borehole Grout

Two concentric corrugated plastic sheaths
(typically factory pregrouted).

Anchors are factory assembled and coiled

(except for pregrouted bond length), prior
to delivery.

Individual plastic sheaths (smooth) for each

strand, all enclosed within a common
external corrugated plastic sheath.
Protection at the anchor head is provided
by a fully enclosed assembly.

Corrugated
Sheathing

Borehole grout is not recognised by current

anchor standards (BS8081 or EN1537) as
a corrosion protection barrier.
