Introduction
The CT-BoltTM is an unique combination
rock bolt system. It offers the combined
advantages of an immediate mechanical
point anchorage and subsequently a fully
grouted rock bolt. A two-step installation
procedure allows fast installation and
immediate anchorage, separate and
independent grouting provides flexibility
in regard to working cycles.
Due to the controlled grouting procedure
and different bar coatings available, the
CT-BoltTM is a reliable ground control
system for underground applications.
The working ability of the CT-BoltTM
has been proven throughout various
underground construction projects;
the system has become a standard in
todays state-of-the-art ground control
procedures.

Fields of Application
Systematic permanent reinforcement
of underground excavations
Ground support for areas with limited
or no access during operational
lifetime

Main Advantages
Efficient, practically proven, and
reliable rock reinforcement system
Combination of an immediate
mechanical point anchorage and a
fully grouted rock bolt
Immediate load-bearing capacity after
installation by the mechanical anchor
Fast installation and flexible postgrouting behind the working face
Double corrosion protection due
to a polyethylene sleeve and grout
coverage
Easy adjustment of the corrosion
protection level to customer demands
Semi-automated or manual installation
procedure

3) Delivery lengths up to 8.0 [m] are available on request

Installation Procedure

Borehole drilling
Drilling of a borehole: 44-51 [mm]
Recommended borehole length: about
100 [mm] longer than the bolt length

Bolt installation
Insertion of the assembled CT-Bolt
into the pre-drilled borehole

Flexible bolt grouting

Preparation of cement grout according
to given specifications

Pressing the bolt plate firmly against

the excavation surface

Connection of an injection adapter to

the grouting adapter of the CT-Bolt

Activation of the expansion anchor

by pre-stressing of the anchor nut
provides immediate mechanical point
anchorage

Primary grout flow inside the sleeve

towards the bolts toe (expansion
shell) - complete grout coverage of the
rebar

Typical required torque: 200-300 [Nm]

Secondary grout flow outside the

sleeve until the grouting medium flows
out at the bore for grout discharge at
the hemispherical bolt plate

Technical Features
Combination rock bolt
Active reinforcement by pre-stressing
of the expansion shell anchor
Allowance of a certain amount of
elastic deformation of the rebar
induced by displacements of the rock
mass

Flexible grouting behind the working

face allows an optimum adaptation
of the CT-Bolt to given ground and
operating conditions

Optimum alignment and assurance of

complete grout coverage of the rock
bolt by the polyethylene sleeve

Unique choice of the corrosion

protection level
Protection of the CT-Bolt
components according to given levels
of corrosive environments
Bolts are available black, hot dip
galvanised, or with a special
Combi Coat (combination of hotdip galvanizing, zinc phosphate, and
powder coating)
Indicated lifetimes for load-bearing
components of the fully-grouted
CT-Bolt by accelerated corrosion
tests performed by Vik rsta AS from
50 years (black type) to 150 years
(Combi Coat type)
