CHANCE® Helical Tieback Anchors
High-Capacity Lateral Support for Retaining Systems

MaurerCo Retaining Walls is proud to install the CHANCE® Helical Tieback Anchors: a high-performance system from CHANCE® (manufactured by Hubbell Power Systems and distributed by Foundation Technologies) designed to provide dependable lateral (tieback) support for retaining walls, soldier piles, bulkheads, and other earth-retaining structures.

 

This tieback anchor is screwed into retained soil until its helical bearing plates reach competent load-bearing strata. As installation progresses, torque is monitored and used to correlate to holding capacity, meaning load capacity is predictable and verifiable on-site. Once installed, the anchor is tension-tested and connected to the wall face via threaded terminations, bearing plates, or embedments, transferring lateral loads safely into the earth.

Key Features & Benefits

  • High tension capacity: Anchors can achieve capacities of up to ~200,000 lbs per anchor, depending on soil conditions and configuration.
  • Immediate proof-load capability: No grout cure times or de-watering required — installation, test, and load all on the same day.
  • Minimal disruption: No excavation spoil, less de-watering, fewer large trucks — ideal for constrained sites.
  • Cost-efficient mobilization: Uses standard hydraulic rotary drilling equipment and installs in any weather, keeping labor, equipment, and construction timelines lean.
  • Reusability (for temporary shoring): In temporary wall applications, the anchors can be removed and reused, reducing long-term cost for shoring jobs.

Applications

  • Permanent soil retention systems for high walls, bulkheads, and seawalls
  • Temporary shoring for excavations, trenches, and adjacent structure protection
  • Reinforcement of existing retaining walls experiencing lateral movement or load increases
  • Structural stabilization where site access is limited or soil conditions are challenging
