The number and type of anchors is determined by subgrade density, weight and type of infill, slope grade and environmental conditions. Anchors should be left in place after installation.

Systems with a low to moderate loading should be anchored using ”J” hooks or wooden stakes.

Sites with severe conditions require further reinforcement. Anchoring the geocell with three or five tendons per section on slope grades up to 1:1 has been utilized with good success.

The anchoring system utilizing tendons and “J” hooks should be set deep enough to reach a solid subbase. If the slope subbase is soft or porous, the anchoring system must be set very deep in order to hold the installation in place. The holes for tendons, which are drilled lengthwise in the collapsed form, may be drilled in the field before installation or during the manufacturing process. The tendon material should have a tensile strength sufficient to support the total theoretical load, and should be constructed of cable or creep resistant woven polyester.
