Services
Chemical Anchoring
Our chemical anchoring systems use high-strength polyester resins like KeliGrout to secure structures in concrete and rock. Ideal for bridges, highways, and industrial equipment, these systems exceed ACI-349-85 standards. Proven in extreme conditions, including underwater and sub-freezing temperatures, they ensure long-term reliability for critical infrastructure projects.
Retrofit Solutions
Kelkens retrofit anchoring systems reinforce aging infrastructure with minimal disruption. Used in highway barriers, rail projects, and marine terminals, our solutions include removable anchors and rapid-curing resins. These systems enable efficient upgrades while maintaining structural integrity, as demonstrated in projects like the Port Newark hurricane tie-down retrofit.
PowerPush Dispenser
The PowerPush battery-operated dispenser ensures precise mixing and application of viscous epoxies in any climate. Designed for KeliGrout 101-P, it reduces labor costs and setup time, offering variable controls to minimize waste. This tool enhances productivity for contractors working on large-scale anchoring projects requiring consistent, high-quality results.
Marine Anchoring
Our marine-grade anchoring systems resist corrosion and withstand harsh environments, including saltwater exposure. Deployed in coastal infrastructure and utility dams, these solutions use stainless steel anchors and waterproof resins. Proven in projects like the Port Newark Elizabeth Marine Terminal, they ensure long-term stability for critical maritime structures.
Highway Safety Anchoring
Kelkens highway anchoring systems secure temporary and permanent barriers with removable KeliAnchors. This system allows rapid repositioning of safety barriers while maintaining crash-test compliance at 51 mph. Deployed on I-95 and other major corridors, it balances durability with flexibility for efficient roadway maintenance and worker protection.
