Introduction
The main application of the
OMEGA-BOLT® Expandable Friction Bolt
is temporary rock reinforcement in Mining
and Tunneling.

Bonding forces between the friction bolt

and the rock mass are caused by form
closure and friction transfer between the
borehole wall and the rock bolt which is
expanded by hydraulic pressure.

Fields of Application
■■ Systematic reinforcement of
underground excavations
■■ Temporary ground control

Main Advantages
■■ Immediate full load bearing capacity
over the entire installed bolt length
■■ Low sensitivity against vibrations
caused by blasting works
■■ Ability to maintain load-bearing
capacity even when undergoing
deformations
■■ Safe and easy installation
■■ No additional building materials
required for installation
■■ Flexibility in case of differing or varying
borehole diameters
■■ Quality check during every single
installation
■■ Different customized high-pressure
pumps available

System Description
■■ Manual or automated installation
by expansion of the omega-shaped
profile with high-pressure water
■■ Frictional load transfer between bolt
and borehole
■■ Adjustment of the expanded profile to ■■ Zinc or duplex coated versions
irregularities of the borehole wall and available upon request
variations in borehole diameter
■■ OMEGA-BOLT® Version “Plus“
provides improved elongation
properties
