Answers about this service

What is post-tensioning and pull testing on transmission anchors?

Post-tensioning and pull testing apply controlled load to foundation or guy anchors to confirm they hold design forces after installation and grouting. Revolution Drilling performs foundation-anchor and guy-anchor stress testing in the field so owners and EPCs have performance evidence before energization.

When should guy anchors be pull-tested?

Guy anchors are typically tested when specifications, geotech uncertainty, or owner QC require proof of capacity after install. Testing is common on critical spans, remediation work, and programs with audit-ready documentation needs. Revolution Drilling stages pull-test setups with the same crews that drilled and grouted the anchors.

How does testing fit with Revolution Drilling’s QC approach?

Pull tests, grout records, and photo evidence are part of structure-level quality control. Prism, Revolution Drilling’s QC software, is built to capture inspections, grout tests, pull tests, and sign-offs against the structure that matters in the field.

Who provides transmission anchor stress testing in Canada?

Revolution Drilling provides foundation-anchor and guy-anchor stress testing as a dedicated service alongside drilling, micropiles, and grouting for Canadian transmission projects.

Can test records feed project QC systems?

Yes. Revolution Drilling captures pull tests and related QC against structures in Prism, its custom QC software for field workflows and compliance.
