Introduction

The expandable rock bolts includes end sleeves, retaining rings, liquid injection ends, and plates. It features a thin-walled steel tube in an Ω shape, sealed with ferrules.

In soft or fractured rock, it offers provisional reinforcement; in harder rock, it provides enduring support. To use, insert the bolt into the hole and inject high-pressure water to expand the tube, forming a circular shape. This expansion creates frictional force between the tube and borehole wall, providing immediate reinforcement through radial pressure and friction along its length.

Installation Process

Drill Hole

Bore a hole in the rock slightly deeper than the bolt length.

Place the Bolt

Place the expansion bolt through the hole either by hand or automatically.

Inject Water

Introduce pressurized water to expand the bolt fully, ensuring it grips the hole's inner walls.

Waiting for Expansion

Allow sufficient time for the bolt to expand entirely, then detach the inflation pump nozzle.

Confirm Installation

Confirm the installation of the bolt to ensure precise positioning and the correct level of tension.

Application Scenarios

Expandable rock bolts serve as crucial elements primarily in hard rock mines, tunnels, and emergency rescue operations. They offer rapid support, ensuring enhanced support efficacy. Their remarkable dynamic support capabilities are tailored to meet the seismic resistance standards for support.

Mining

Deployed to stabilize rock masses within tunnels, galleries, chambers, and other subterranean excavations.

Tunneling

Within tunnel construction endeavors, expansion bolts are utilized to secure the excavation cavity effectively.

Geotechnical engineering

Play a pivotal role in stabilizing slopes, rock walls, and various other geotechnical structures.
