Following installation to depth , the anchors were grouted via the tremie pipe to the surface . Afterwards , grout levels were checked to ensure that there had been no undue settlement . Then , the top meter of each anchor was washed back with water using a lance , to ensure that there was sufficient void space at the top of the annulus to accommodate the bearing plate / stub tube assembly as well as to avoid any potential for strutting during stressing . Once the grout had set , the washback water was blown out by air .
Each anchor was then stressed by DSI stressing technicians and locked-off in accordance with the specification , enabling the full restraint to be mobilized for the cantilevered roof .
This project is the second in which DSI UK has worked with Liverpool FC ( the Reds ). Previously , DSI UK supplied permanent DYWIDAG Strand Anchors for the refurbishment of the stadium ’ s famous Kop stand .
