Welcome to SBMAsystems.com, the home of the Single Bore Multiple Anchor ground anchor system.

If you don't know the SBMA system you don't know the latest anchor technology or the most economical solution.

This patented system has been used extensively on a world-wide basis for anchoring in soils and weak rock and can provide between double and treble the working load of normal ground anchors. Ultimate anchor capacities in the 2000 to 5000 kN (180-450 kips) range have been achieved in soils. All anchors conform to the construction techniques, corrosion protection and testing requirements of all national and international Codes of Practice for Ground Anchors and Tie Backs.

Where high capacities are required, the SBMA can halve the number of anchors on your project. SBMAs can anchor in ground previously considered unsuitable. SBMAs offer a totally removable anchor for temporary works where the entire length of prestressing strand is removed from the bore after use.

SBMAs have been used successfully on over 120 contracts, distributed world-wide, mobilizing the highest working loads ever used in soils.

This is the anchor system of the present....and the future.

In addition to the SBMA system, we now have a new soil nailing system which can be used in conjunction with the anchors or independently. Further information on the Actively Stressed Soil Nail System can be found on the 'Technical Information' page. We also are now able to supply a real time slope monitoring system using fibre optics which has been developed and patented in Korea. Again, details are on the 'Technical Information' page.

Now you're here why not take a look at the system's technical information, view a few case histories or simply contact us for more information.
