Strand Anchors

Our system is recognized as one of the most quality, solid, flexible and profitable anchoring systems in the industry, these anchors are in use throughout North America. Our unique encapsulation process ensures that the length of the union of the filaments is not contaminated with free-length grease. Cable anchors are commonly used for permanent or temporary mooring anchors and for back-up mooring on rock or earth.

Cable anchors are very versatile and are used in different and multiple applications. They can withstand very high loads. Strand anchors with capacity up to 2000 metric tons have been installed and tensioned.
