Benefits
Installs in any weather
Installs in limited access areas
No excavation or spoils to remove
Immediate proof testing and loading
Permanent or temporary (removable)
Labor saving - as few as four on a crew
Capacity proportional to installing torque

3
Faster tieback walls
with all the practical
advantages of
Helical Anchors
Immediate pull testing of helical tieback anchors after
installation serves as a check on design procedures and
eliminates deflection at working loads.
No delays because there is no grout
Typical production rate of 30 to 40 per day for installing and testing
No holes to drill Cuts labor and equipment costs
Can save 30 per cent while obtaining high anchor-load capacities
Solves construction problems
In cohesive soils, no belled and/or long sockets
In non-cohesive soils, no casings or grouted sockets
Bearing mode (not friction mode) anchors
No de-watering for below-water-table applications

HeliCAP Helical Capacity Design Software
helps design professionals quickly derive the
proper helical tieback anchor for site- and
load-specific data. For a free demo, visit

Distributor or Territory Manager about how

Site-specific basics of screw anchor design
Two typical steps to anchorage design:
1. Select helix configuration based on accurate soil characteristics data and tension load.
2. Select shaft configuration based on tension load and anticipated installation torque.
Anchor load capacity equals the sum of all its individual helix bearing capacities. Bearing
capacity of each helix equals the product of its projected area and bearing pressure.
Pre-engineered CHANCE screw anchors optimize helix spacing at three times the next
lower helix diameter. This assures more predictable torque-to-capacity relationship.
Holding capacity is proportional to installation torque (recommended 10 lb per ft-lb).
Monitor torque while installing to ensure a minimum and not to exceed anchor rating.

Helical Tieback
Helical Tieback Anchors have shafts in five square sizes (1-1/4, 1-1/2,
1-3/4, 2 and 2-1/4) with helices in configurations of two to four and
diameters from 6 to 14. All components are available hot-dip galva-
nized per ASTM A 153 after fabrication.
Extensions
Plain and helical extensions are used to reach competent load-bearing soil. Plain
extensions range from 37 to 124 long. Helical extensions range from 48 to
124 long with 14-diameter helices in single, double and triple configurations.
Forged integral coupling sockets bolt-up quickly and efficently transfer install-
ing torque.
Lead Sections
For job-specific combinations, leading sections range from 30 to 124 long in
two-, three- or four-helix configurations usually with increasing diameters from
the 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 range.

Anchor System
Terminations fit threadbar or provide a threaded stud to work with prefabricated or site-made lock-
off devices. Other termination fittings also are available. In some cases, the through-hole at the shaft
end may be simply crosspinned.
