Gripple Terra Lock TL-100 Anchor Assembly

The Gripple Terra Lock Earth Percussion Anchors are designed to provide drive efficiency and maximise load capacity across a wide range of applications The Terra-Lock™ 100 load bearing plate has an open face allowing for vegetation establishment Terra-Lock anchors assemblies are all preassembled with specific anchor heads, wire rope tendon, and bearing plates. Patented Gripple technology allows for re-tensioning and negates the need for time consuming crimping. Removes 20mm drive rods after install. Load lock anchor with ease.

Applications:

• Designed for securing HPTRM and TRM
• Open face allows vegetation to grow through
• 100 mm (4”) head size
• Accepts 3 mm (1/8”) wire
• Zinc die-cast, one-piece housing

System Performance:

• Maximum Working Load(1) 450kg
• Ultimate Assembly Strength 500kg
• Ultimate Wire Rope Strength 815kg

Benefits of the Terra Lock Gripple Anchors:

Gripple anchor systems provide a labour saving method of geotechnical engineering for erosion control, soil retention & slope reinforcement.

• Slows Flows - The use of vegetation in the Terra-Lock® System can help control hydraulic flows, minimising scour and damage to other parts of the system
• Resilient - Reinforcing elements of the solution alongside the promotion of vegetation means the Terra-Lock® System is essentially 'self-healing', delivering longevity to the install
• Sediment Control - Intimate contact with substrates retains soil particles, minimising erosion and downstream sedimentation
• Durable - Manufactured using corrosion resistant materials to ensure longevity
• Steepened Slopes - Allows slopes and embankments to be sharply angled, reducing groundworks and maximising use of space
• Lightweight - Easy to handle on site and adds minimal excess loads to the structure; minimises settlement and subsidence, especially in poor soils
• Increased factor of safety - The installation depth of anchors is calculated based on engineering principles to guarantee the System locks into structurally sound soil
• Failure Prevention - The system actively holds the surface, locking it deep into the structures while catching and retaining surface failures
