Regulatory Framework

The RBS 560 anchoring system is considered into point C) of Chapter 11.1 “Materiali e prodotti per uso strutturale” of the NTC 2018. That is, “…the manufacturer must obtain a Technical Evaluation Certificate also based on Guidelines approved by the Superior Council of Public Works.”

The guideline published in 2020 is specific for the identification, qualification, and acceptance control of passive anchoring systems for geotechnical use made with solid bars and self-drilling hollow steel bars.

ARCO obtained the CVT for the following products:

• Self-drilling hollow bars
• Anchoring system with self-drilling hollow bars
• Anchoring system with continuous threaded solid bars.
