What it is
Temporary Anchoring System
The Temporary Anchoring System (SAP) creates reaction systems for static load tests and geotechnical foundation testing.
The method uses helical anchors driven into the ground to form the reaction system, eliminating conventional reaction piles, concrete pouring and long curing periods.
Widely applied in foundation testing, the SAP system provides a significant reduction in execution time, lower operational impact, and more efficiency in field mobilization.
How we perform
Test steps
- 1
Analysis and sizing
Definition of the quantity and sizing of helical anchors according to the test loads.
- 2
Anchor installation
Driving helical anchors in strategic positions to form the reaction system.
- 3
Reaction structure assembly
Positioning the steel beams that will support test execution.
- 4
Load test execution
Performing the static load test with the SAP system stabilized and operational.
- 5
System demobilization
Removal of the beams and helical anchors after completing the test.

SAP benefits
Significant schedule reduction
Eliminates concrete curing and long mobilizations; test ready in days, not weeks.
Direct cost savings
No reaction piles, formwork or reinforcement; fewer team hours on site.
Lower environmental impact
Reusable system with no concrete waste, keeping the site cleaner and more sustainable.
Technical compliance
Execution according to ABNT NBR 16903 and applicable ASTM standards, with report and technical responsibility.
Excellence built by the largest technical team in the sector
A team of highly qualified engineers and specialists, prepared to develop safe and efficient solutions for the most diverse geotechnical challenges.
