Earth Anchors For Every Application

Platipus® Percussion Driven Earth Anchor (PDEA®)

Platipus® Percussion Driven Earth Anchors (PDEA®) are versatile, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant ground anchors that can be easily installed in various soil conditions. Using conventional equipment, they can be driven from the surface, minimizing soil disturbance. PDEA® anchors can be post-tensioned to specific loads and offer a dry, environmentally friendly solution.

Anchor Styles

Platipus "Bat" Anchor

The Bat Anchor is built for higher load capacities and improved performance in weaker soils. Its compatibility with the T-Loc lower termination provides flexibility in on-site system selection and allows for the use of various tendons and all-thread rods. Installation requires more robust equipment, typically a compact machine equipped with a mounted hydraulic breaker.

Platipus "Stealth" Anchor

The Stealth Anchor is engineered for a broad range of lightweight anchoring applications. Its streamlined design and chisel-shaped drive point allow for quick, easy installation—often with basic hand tools or lightweight power equipment. Ideal for tight or restricted access areas, the anchor’s slim profile also requires only a small core hole to pass through existing structures.
