Multiple Corrosion Protection Anchors
Williams standard grout bonded rock & soil anchors consist of a plain or epoxy coated bar, grouted in an oversized drill hole. Centralizers should be used to assure good grout cover (approximately 25 mm) around the bar. Where anchors will penetrate aggressive soils that are low in pH value (<5.5) and high in sulfate, additional corrosion protection may be desirable. The degree of protection should be matched against the aggressivity of the environment and the expected life of the anchorage system.
Williams Multiple Corrosion Protection (MCP) systems offer increasing barriers against corrosion attack for confidence in permanent anchorage in all ground environments. Williams protective outer end caps may also be used to seal the nut and washer from the environment when the outer end of the anchorage will not be encased in concrete.
Typically, Williams MCP anchors are supplied in 150 KSI All-Thread Grade (as shown below) and used in various applications such as externally supported earth structures and tension tie-down systems.
