of no more than 50 kilonewtons (kN),
forcing them to look at traditional
120-foot-deep rock socket installation,
with major drilling and skipping issues,
and a significant cost to achieve the
required capacities.
Following initial discussions –
and with serious scepticism from the
client – EBI flew to B.C., to test the EBs
on site.
Bartin Pipe stocks more than 20,000 tons of various
pipe sizes, guaranteeing our customers in-stock
product with alternative wall sizes to meet all our
customers’ needs.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
“We installed three EBs to a depth
of 30 feet and at a 25-degree inclination,”
said Heringer. “In our first test,
we achieved a tension resistance of 240
kN of load prior to the client’s reaction
base failing. The decision was made to
build a second base out of reinforced
shotcrete. A week later we returned for
the second test, where again the reaction
base failed, but this time achieving
a 380 kN tension load. Needless to
say, they saw the potential of the EB
and were thrilled about how it fully
exceeded their expectations.”
Unlike traditional piling and boring
that rely on trial and error, the EB
allows for reliable quality control and
verification of performance during
installation by relaying information on
soil strength and stiffness. By recording
the grouting pressure versus the
volume increase, information about
bearing capacity and soil condition can
be transmitted electronically.
Also unlike conventional piling
and anchor systems, the EB allows
for reliable quality control and quality
assurance for each unit installed.
By continuously recording the grouting
pressure and volume during the
expansion of the EB, it is possible to
flag and correct any eventual anomaly
and deviation from the expected soil
behaviour at an early stage, reduce
uncertainty and comply with foundation
requirements.
“We know the precise volume and
pressure of the grouting process,” said
Heringer. “Because of this, each EB unit
Two containers of EBs (approx. 450) packaged and heading to
