Drilling Tie Backs
The Self-Drilling Hollow Bar Anchor System is
comprised of a hollow threaded bar with an attached
drill bit that performs drilling, anchoring and grouting in
a single operation. The hollow bar allows air and water
to freely pass through the bar during drilling to remove
debris and then allow grout to be injected immediately
after drilling is completed. Grout fills the hollow bar
and completely covers the entire bolt. Couplers can
be used to join hollow bars and extend the bolt length
while nuts and plates are used to provide the required
tension. The Self-Drilling Hollow Bars are known for
their excellent load capacity and are available in
Normal (N) and Special (S) types with diameters from
1 to 4 in. (25 to 103 mm).
