Anchor installation, certification, and testing are critical processes in ensuring the safety and stability of structures that require anchoring systems. Anchors secure our rope access professionals to structures such as high-rise buildings, bridges, and dams to their foundations or support systems.
Installing anchors involves selecting the appropriate type of anchor for the specific structure, drilling holes, and placing the anchor securely in the hole. The installation process must be carried out carefully and accurately to ensure the anchors are correctly aligned and can withstand the anticipated loads and stresses.
Anchor certification ensures that the installed anchors meet the required safety standards and codes. Certification involves rigorous testing and inspection of the anchors, including load testing, stress testing, and other types of testing to ensure their strength and reliability.
Regular testing of anchors is also important to ensure ongoing safety and reliability. Testing can identify any signs of wear or damage and allow for prompt repairs or replacement if necessary.
