Our Innovations 

Because we are innovators, not just suppliers, we have developed a variety of geo-support systems that are used throughout North America. Some of our innovations include:

• the multiple strand anchor system for permanent and temporary rock or soil anchors. 
• Mukusol bar anchor system which is a cold rolled all-thread bar.
• deep foundation systems for wind turbines.
• intelligent strand anchors that can permanently monitor the integrity of the tendons.
• introducing and developing the CTS/Titan hollow bar anchor, soil nail and micropile systems in North America. The patented material is supplied exclusively to us by Ischebeck gmbH, a world renowned manufacturer of construction technology systems.

Pioneering Geo-Technical Solutions

What happens in the geo-technical industry when you mix research and creative thinking with decades of applied knowledge? At Con-Tech Systems, we believe the result is innovative technology and solution-oriented products like our CTS/Titan hollow bar anchor, soil nail and micropile systems and our environmentally conscious deep foundation system for wind turbine towers and transmission line towers. Since 1985, our geo-technical solutions have been supporting, stabilizing, retaining, anchoring, retrofitting and revolutionizing projects across North America.

Our Projects

Since 1985, we have been providing geo-support solutions and products to clients and suppliers across North America. In fact, our products anchor some impressive structures such as the Seven Mile Dam in British Columbia, Canada, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and the new World Trade Centre Hub in New York City. We’ve also provided support systems to international airports, state highways, residential and commercial developments and many other projects from New York to Vancouver, and from Quebec to California.

Strand Anchors

Recognized as one of the strongest, most flexible and most cost effective anchor system in the industry, CTS® strand anchors are in use throughout North America. Our unique encapsulation process ensures that the strands’ bond length is not contaminated with the grease from the free length.

We manufacture our strand anchors in accordance with the Post-Tensioning Institute Recommendations for Prestressed Rock and Soil Anchors. CTS® strand anchors can be supplied as Class 1 or Class 2 Corrosion Protected, depending on your corrosion requirements. We can manufacture strand anchors that comply with the Buy America Act.

CTS® EXTRUDED STRAND

Available as wax and grease extruded. Please refer to our Seven Mile Dam project in which the CTS® Extruded Strand was used.

Advantages

• Each order is customized to suit loading and lengths
• Easy storage and assembly due to coiled reels
• Easy installation even in tight spaces
• No coupler splices
• Guaranteed higher safety factor due to multiple tension elements in each anchor
• Corrosion protection fabricated in shop, not on job site
• Anchors can be made re-stressable for testing during service life
• Anchors can be outfitted with instrumentation for real time monitoring during service life

Applications

CTS® strand anchors are typically used for either permanent or temporary tie down and tie back anchors in either rock or solid ground. Examples include hydroelectric dams, wind tower foundations, slope stabilization and excavation shoring.
