Product Details

Hand installed and hard wearing, the Platipus ARGS system can hold down geotextiles and cellular confinement systems to protect slopes against wind erosion and surface runoff. For a low price, this mechanical anchoring solution provides holding capacities of up to 10kN, allowing for revegetation and protection of embankments regardless of the environmental conditions. Available in both galvanised and stainless steel , we can accommodate both temporary and permanent works in a variety of environmental conditions. Additionally, we have developed Plati-Gripâ„¢, a high-performance spiral anchor able to rapidly secure erosion control materials against a slope face using standard construction equipment.
