Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed 21 GeoLock™ Wall Anchors to permanently stabilizer the walls in the basement.

Then holes are drilled into the walls from the interior to drill a steel rod out to the excavation site. A GeoLock™ wall anchor plate is installed over the rod in the trench and secured with a bolt, and the same is done on the basement wall side.

Now that the wall has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax comfortably in their new home without worrying that their basement walls are going to cave in.
