    2.4 - Geobrugg FLEX Head

    Uploaded by

    Armand J Romero
    The Geobrugg FLEX head is a bendable anchor head that can be used with bar anchors or self-drilling anchors on unstable drilling surfaces. It absorbs tensile and bending forces like a spiral rope anchor head. This makes it less shock-sensitive than rigid anchor heads. It also protects the bar anchor from strain in the head area. The FLEX head has corrosion protection and can be installed to the recommended depth to ensure a long lifespan even in corrosive environments. It provides load-bearing capabilities comparable to other anchor types.

    Geobrugg FLEX head:

    Because its flexibility protects


    the bar anchor.

    The first choice on unstable drilling


    surfaces together with self drilling
    anchors – with the same benefits
    as spiral rope anchors:

    - bar anchors are put under less


    strain in the head area and are
    thus not weakened
    - high-tensile steel wires with
    min. 1770 N/mm2: extremely
    advantageous ratio of load-
    bearing capacity to weight
    - demonstrably long-lifetime
    thanks to well thought-out
    corrosion protection concept
    - despite the increased corrosion
    protection requirements, the
    benefits of the rope anchor
    do not have to be sacrificed
    - suitable for commercial self
    drilling anchors
