Following installation to depth, the anchors were grouted via the tremie pipe to the surface. Afterwards, grout levels were checked to ensure that there had been no undue settlement. Then, the top meter of each anchor was washed back with water using a lance, to ensure that there was sufficient void space at the top of the annulus to accommodate the bearing plate / stub tube assembly as well as to avoid any potential for strutting during stressing. Once the grout had set, the washback water was blown out by air.
Each anchor was then stressed by DSI stressing technicians and locked-off in accordance with the specification, enabling the full restraint to be mobilized for the cantilevered roof.
This project is the second in which DSI UK has worked with Liverpool FC( the Reds). Previously, DSI UK supplied permanent DYWIDAG Strand Anchors for the refurbishment of the stadium’ s famous Kop stand.
