|  Ankalok
fully interlocking precast concrete revetment embodies a unique
double anchor head shape which ensures that each block in
revetment is positively interlocked with the six surrounding
units. Tapered sides provide for the articulation of the interlocked
units to a minimum 0.5m radius. Following installation when
the cells and joints between blocks have been filled with
gravel/soil additional frictional interlock is achieved which
helps to provide considerable resistance to vertical displacement.
The unique design of Ankalok provides units
of exceptionally high handling and in service strength with
the soil/gravel retaining cells being formed by the configuration
created when the blocks are laid and interlocked together.
The size and spacing of the cells have been designed to afford
maximum protection from erosion whilst permitting the release
of excess pore water pressure. Above normal water level the
block cells may be soil filled and seeded thus further aiding
stability by root establishment.
 Below
water level the cells can be filled with a graded gravel to
add extra weight to the armour layer and additional resistance
to vertical displacement.
The simple one unit system enhances a straight forward laying
procedure which allows rapid installation without the need
for highly skilled labour.
Ankalok is particularly appropriate for
sites with a difficult access where larger systems such as
pre-assembled panels needing heavy handling equipment cannot
be used.
