The Platipus Earth Anchor
Our Percussion Driven Earth Anchor (PDEA®) is a unique, modern and versatile device that can be rapidly installed in three steps using simple hand or powered tools. The cutting edge design ensures fast and easy installation and when fully loadlocked the anchor is immediately ready for use.
These systems are specifically designed to provide security and stability to the transplanted tree for three to five years whilst the roots establish themselves. Thereafter key elements of the system will degrade to allow unrestricted root growth and the remaining parts may be recycled.
The following anchors are used in our tree systems and are selected according to the size of the tree, the design and layout of the planting area and local soil and weather conditions. Where appropriate, we can test our anchors on site, prior to installation, to provide quantifi able load data. Bespoke solutions for projects requiring a longer design life can be supplied using stainless steel accessories.
Description
The Platipus rootball fixing system (tree anchoring with anchors), including Plati-Mat®, remains the preferred method of securing rootballed, airpot and containerised semi-mature trees.
The ease of installation and lack of unsightly guy wires makes it the first choice of customers. Over the past three decades, we have developed an extensive range of unique underground fixing solutions to suit most applications.
