Rock bolts are commonly used to stabilise weathered or fractured rock faces, cuttings, tunnels and bridge structures where there is a risk of rockfall or movement.
They are often used with wire fall-arrest netting and shotcrete to provide a robust and cost-effective slope stabilisation solution
Rock bolts typically consist of a steel tendon, although alternative materials such as GFRP (glass fibre-reinforced polymer) may also be used.
They can provide localised anchorage for individual unstable features or be installed across an entire rock face to improve overall stability.
