SYSTEM OVERVIEW


MAI® - Self Drilling Hollow Core Anchors provide the optimal solution for nailing, bolting, micro piling and as ground anchors in difficult ground and rock conditions. The self drilling anchor system is manufactured with a cold deformed full length rolled thread as per standard and acts as the drill rod during the drilling operation. Once installed and grouted it converts into a very effective anchor. The use of this technology has the advantage that there is no need for cased drilling systems, which result in a simple installation method and economical savings on the project.
Normally the cuttings from the drill bit are flushed out by the use of either air or water. With the use of the MAI® - Rotary Injection Adapter the drilling and grouting is combined as a single operation, thus reducing construction cycles and ensuring optimum ground-/ grout bond within the borehole.
MAI®Groutpump M400
All applications have in common:
  • It is a fast method, because drilling, anchor installation and grouting are performed in one single operation.
  • It is a simple method, since no special drill techniques are required and all commonly available drill rig units can be used.
  • It is a economical method, since the danger of collapsing boreholes is avoided and no drill casings are needed.
