THORBOLT

Disposable system for water ingress

Patented GMA system designed to grout leaking boreholes in a single operation. Available in standard 45, 48, 51 and 54 mm diameters, with other sizes made on request. It can be supplied hot-dip galvanised or with Combi Coated finish, which combines hot-dip galvanising with heat-cured epoxy resin for greater corrosion protection.

THORBOLT

Two protective finishes.

THORBOLT GMA, hot-dip galvanised version

Galvanised

Hot-dip galvanising for corrosion protection in standard conditions.

THORBOLT GMA, Combi Coated version

Combi Coated

Hot-dip galvanising plus a heat-cured epoxy coating for extra protection in aggressive environments.

Installation in four steps.

The four steps shown in the GMA catalogue: insertion, expansion, grouting and curing under pressure
  1. Insertion. Insert the packer, with the reinforcing bar and drainage tube, into the borehole, then tighten the nut.
  2. Expansion. Tightening compresses the rubber, which expands radially against the borehole wall and locks the system in place.
  3. Grouting. Connect the hose with the quick coupling and pump the grout to fill the annulus.
  4. Curing. Disconnect the quick coupling and let the grout cure under pressure.
