Water Expansion Rock Bolt

Water Expansion Rock Bolt is also known as expandable rock bolt, which is used for immediate reinforcement of underground mines and tunnels. Installation of the bolt only requires water and does not involve any chemical materials. This type of rock bolt provides safe and environmentally friendly underground support.

After applying water pressure, the bolt expands in the borehole wall to form frictional anchorage against the surrounding rock. Water expansion rock bolts are commonly used to enhance construction speed, simplify installation procedure, and provide immediate ground support underground.
  • Quick expansion with water pressure
  • Doesn't require resin, cement or chemical agent
  • Provides immediate support after expansion
  • Ideal for underground mining and tunnel support
  • Chemical-free anchoring method
  • Available in different sizes and load capacities
  • Made to custom specification upon request
