Introducing the NZGS Ground Anchor Guidance Document

Presented by Greg Saul, Tim Farrant, Ian McPherson

Earlier this year NZGS released a Draft version of “Ground Anchors: Design and Construction Guideline” for member consultation.  The aim of the document is to “promote consistency of approach in engineering practice in the design, construction and maintenance of ground anchors in New Zealand”.

This talk will cover the key items in the document, including governance, anchor design, corrosion protection, construction, testing and monitoring.  Feedback and discussion are encouraged.
