Deepro supplies strand anchors for a wide variety of civil engineering sectors. On this page, you will find an overview of the three main sectors – harbour works, infrastructure, and railways – each with their own requirements regarding anchors, lifespan, and execution.
The Deepro strand anchor is a single certified system, available in four performance classes (PL0, PL1, PL2 and PL3). This system covers the full bandwidth from temporary construction phases to permanent works in aggressive or conductive environments. The choice of performance class, geometry and installation method depends on the industry and the specific project conditions.
In practice, this means the same basic system is used differently for a container terminal in a seaport, alongside a national road or next to a railway line. The combination of high anchoring force, slim profile, multi-layer corrosion protection and – uniquely in Europe – an ETA-certified, electrically insulated PL3 anchor makes the system suitable for marine, infrastructure and rail applications. Further down this page, you will find links to the specific industry pages, detailing the requirements, applications and points of attention per sector.
Deepro supplies anchoring systems for sectors where reliability, durability and execution certainty are crucial: railways, infrastructure and harbour works. Each industry sets its own demands for anchoring.
From vibration-resistant anchorages along railway lines to heavily loaded structures in port and quay walls and infrastructural works adjacent to active roadways: our system is certified, scalable, and supported by specialists in prestressing technology for civil engineering.
Every situation is different. In a consultation, we will clearly outline your project and possibilities. You will immediately know where you stand.

Lifespan of ≥ 100 years for permanent structures.
Technical support in the design and development process for clients and engineering firms
Deepro supplies for port works, infrastructure and railways. In addition, the anchors are used in other anchoring structures where tensile forces need to be transmitted, such as quay walls, construction pits, retaining walls and slopes.
The system is the same; the chosen performance class and geometry are derived from the industry and the specific project conditions.
The basic system is identical. What differs per branch is the chosen performance class (PL0 to PL3), the geometry (length, angle of inclination, centre-to-centre distance) and the attention to specific conditions such as saline environments, dynamic traffic loads or electrical insulation. Deepro supports in the design process by helping to make the right choice.
In any application where a metallic path via the anchor could cause corrosion or unwanted current leakage. This is relevant for railways (return currents), port works with cathodic protection on sheet piling, and infrastructure in close proximity to cathodically protected pipelines, among other things. Deepro is currently the only company in Europe to supply this with ETA certification.
PL0 and PL1 are mainly used in temporary phases, such as construction pits. PL2 is common for permanent works in normal environments. PL3 is used for permanent works in aggressive environments (salty, brackish) or where electrical insulation is required.
The final choice always arises from the combination of lifespan, environment, and project-specific requirements.
Yes. For projects at the intersection of industries, for example an underpass that crosses both road and rail, or a quay that also accommodates rail-bound loads, a combination of performance classes may be needed within a single project.
This system makes this combination possible without changing suppliers or the certification framework.
Deepro directly supports clients and engineering firms in the design and development process. For execution, the anchor is supplied to the drilling companies that carry out the installation.
