In coastal and industrial engineering projects worldwide, geotechnical reinforcement systems face escalating challenges from corrosive environments, where saltwater, chemicals, and moisture can compromise structural integrity. SupAnchor, Asia's leading manufacturer and exporter of self-drilling anchors, has responded with the launch of its Stainless Steel Self-Drilling Hollow Anchor, a specialized variant designed to ensure durability and efficiency in harsh conditions. This innovation aligns with the growing demand for sustainable, long-lasting solutions in sectors like marine engineering, tunneling, and industrial facilities.
The new stainless steel anchor retains SupAnchor's core "3-in-1 principle," which integrates sacrificial drilling, grouting, and reinforcement into a single hollow bar system. This design eliminates the need for separate casing, significantly speeding up installation in unconsolidated soils and reducing on-site risks. Made from stainless steel, the anchor offers inherent corrosion resistance, preventing rust and degradation in environments exposed to saltwater, industrial chemicals, or high humidity. Key mechanical properties ensure reliable performance, with models like the R32SS/15 demonstrating ultimate loads of ≥405 kN and yield loads of ≥300 kN, comparable to standard carbon steel anchors.
| Parameter | Value for R32SS/15 Model |
|---|---|
| Outside Diameter (mm) | 32 |
| Internal Diameter (mm) | 14 |
| Cross-Sectional Area (mm²) | 509 |
| Ultimate Load (kN) | ≥405 |
| Yield Load (kN) | ≥300 |
| Weight (kg/m) | 4.00 |
| Thread Type | ISO 10208 - R32 |
| Steel Type | Stainless Steel |
| Elongation (%) | A100mm ≥6% / Agt ≥5% / A200mm ≥6% |
The optimized rib structure, with a relative rib area of 0.21 to 0.33, enhances bonding with grout and minimizes soil splitting, keeping crack widths below 0.1 mm under maximum load. This geotechnical reinforcement system is compatible with standard accessories like SW46 nuts and D42 couplers, simplifying logistics and installation for engineers on-site.
This self-drilling anchor system is poised to transform projects in corrosive environments. Key application scenarios include:
The drill-and-grout bolt system addresses critical engineering challenges by combining efficiency with durability. For instance, in coastal tunnel support, it reduces installation time by up to 30% compared to traditional methods, while its stainless steel composition eliminates corrosion-induced strength loss, potentially extending project lifespans by over 50 years.
SupAnchor's introduction of this stainless steel variant underscores its commitment to innovation and professional excellence. As the No. 1 manufacturer in Asia, the company leverages extensive R&D to develop products that meet ISO standards, such as ISO 10208 and ISO 1720 for thread specifications. This self drilling anchor bolt is part of a broader anti-corrosion portfolio that includes hot-dip galvanizing and SupCoating, catering to diverse global projects from Europe to the Americas.
The brand's collaborative approach ensures that engineers and contractors benefit from simplified installation and reduced long-term costs. By focusing on sustainability and safety, SupAnchor contributes to advancing infrastructure resilience worldwide, particularly in mining, tunneling, and urban development sectors. The stainless steel anchor's launch is expected to bolster the company's influence in markets demanding high-performance geotechnical solutions.
