They can be installed in oversized drill holes at any inclination though resin is usually the preferred choice for upwards looking anchors. Typical Applications include :-
Anchorage of retaining walls.
Temporary Works for protection from spalling or loose rock.
Rock Bolting and Meshing of near vertical rock faces.
Stabilisation of steep slopes and embankments. Road Cuttings e.t.c.

Prevention of uplift (floating) of tank structures.
Anchoring of foundation bases of silos, wind turbines etc.
Stabilisation of masonry structures such as historic buildings, bridges etc.
Soil Nails are installed in soils or loose rock, and transfer force into the surrounding groundmass by means of a grouted tendon, rope or bar. Mechanical anchors are also available which do not require grouting and are suitable for a wide range of formation types. Essentially, soil anchors are used for similar appilcations to the above as well as :-
Anchoring of support systems for excavations, such as sheet piling, trench boxes, shotcrete or temporary retaining walls.
Stabilisation of steep slopes; often in conjunction with geotextiles.
Anchorage of guy wires and cables for temporary structures.
