Post tensioning systems Williams

Post Tensioning Systems

Williams Pre-Stressing / Post Tensioning Systems consist of high tensile steel bars available in five diameters from 1" (26 mm) to 2-1/2" (65 mm) with guaranteed tensile strengths to 778 kips (3460 kN). They are provided with cold rolled threads over all or a portion of the bar's length. All tension components for the systems are designed to develop 100% of the bar strength. All components of the systems are designed and manufactured in the United States. Williams All-Thread-Bar systems have been field proven around the world.

Bai anchor systems Williams

Bail Anchor Systems

Bail Anchors are fast setting mechanical anchors that are simple to use for light to moderate loads in temporary or permanent applications. They set in a one step torque tension operation and work well with Williams Grade 75 All-Thread Rebar, constant torque nuts and domed plates/spherical washer assemblies. They are well suited for use in single or twin grout tube installations due to the minimal rotation the bar undergoes during the setting process.

Bail Anchor Installation

Bail anchors are initially set in the hole using relatively low torques that should not exceed 30 to 50 ft/lbs. Higher setting torques applied to the bail anchor alone will not help in the setting process. Final set of the Bail Anchor is accomplished through direct tension with a hydraulic jack or preferably by torquing the nut against the plate. This action pulls the cone further into the shell locking it into place. The outward migration of the bar is usually no more than 1" to 2" maximum. This movement must be anticipated and allowed for in the design and application of this anchor type in ungrouted conditions. Bail anchor installations are tested and grouted by normal methods.

Spin-lick mechanical rock anchor systems Williams

Spin-Lock Mechanical Rock Anchor Systems

Williams Spin-Lock anchors were first used in the 1950's for rock/roof bolting in projects such as NORAD and Australia's Snowy Mountain power facility. Since then many engineers, contractors and owners have seen the advantages of the Spin-Locks on dams, locks, water/waste treatment facilities and many other large scale civil projects. Williams Spin-Lock anchors provide the advantage of immediate anchorage for pre-stressing and require shorter embedments than traditional grout bond anchor systems.

The Spin-Lock has been job-proven, time and time again to meet all bolting requirements in any strata which can be bolted.

To comply with the need for bolts which will satisfactorily anchor a broad range of variable rock formations, Williams has developed a complete family of rock bolts with a simple and efficient system of installation. Williams offers a complete line of rental equipment for installing, testing and grouting of Spin-Lock anchors.

Before proceeding with your next project, consult with a design agency familiar with Williams Rock Bolting. Williams would be pleased to recommend an ideal system for you.

Williams Spin-Lock Anchor Serrated Anchor by others
Expansion shell receives full bearing support from solid 300° cone design. Quartered cone design leaves expansion shell unsupported at adjacent gaps. Shell can collapse in under high stress.

Method A
Anchor is pre-stressed to rock and used in thin slab locations.
Method B
Less expensive method. Used where pre-stressed rock is anchored to large slabs or footings.
Method C
Exposed nut and plate where slab is pre-stressed to rock.
Method D
Non-exposed nut and plate where pre-stressed slab is required to have flush anchor.

Manta ray mechanical soil anchors Williams

Manta Ray Mechanical Soil Anchors

 

Manta Ray Earth Anchors Stingray Earth Anchors
Manta Ray and Stingray earth anchors are driven tipping plate soil anchors dependant on soil strenght for reaction of tensile loads. Manta Ray anchors have working loads up to 20 kips, and Stingray anchors have working loads up to 50 kips. After driving the anchor to the required depth, the driving tool (called drive steel) is removed. The anchor is then tipped and proof tested with Williams Anchor Locking Kit from its edgewise-driving position to present its bearing area to the soil. This is called "load locking" and provides an immediate proof test of each anchor. Demonstration of Installation

Manta Ray and Stingray anchors offer many significant advantages:

  • Fast, easy installation
  • Immediate proof test results
  • No grout
  • Inexpensive installation equipment
  • Environmentally friendly
  • No drilling required
  • Superior Holding Capacity
  • Anchors for a wide range of soils & applications
Stingray Soil Anchor
Sting Ray Anchor

Manta Ray Soil Anchors The simple, effective and low cost Manta Ray and Stingray anchor system represents a major breakthrough in "anchoring technology" with a multitude of uses in the utility, civil engineering and construction markets for:
  • Utility Poles
  • Retaining Walls
  • Sheet Piles
  • Seawalls
  • Pipelines
  • Erosion Control
  • Underwater Applications
  • Blockwalls
  • Scaffolding

There are eight Manta Ray Anchors and three Stingray Anchors with light to heavy duty holding capacities. Shown to the left are six different Manta Ray anchor heads. All anchors are made of galvanized ductile iron, can be driven with the drive steel set (except the MR-88 & M-68) and can be tested to the desired holding capacity with the load locker.
The anchors are designed to utilize solid steel rods as load carrying members.
