| The
B8 and B10 ground anchors are normally associated with heavy percussive
installation. In this situation, installation is completed using a wheeled
or tracked excavator with a percussive breaker attachment. Loadlocking
is completed using a hydraulic loadlocking unit.
Where ground
conditions are hard or large quantities of anchors are to be installed,
this type of equipment can also be used to install the B4 and B6 anchors.
