For over 30 years Platipus has been the market leader in the design, manufacture and supply of Percussion Driven Earth Anchoring Systems (PDEA’s®). They are renowned for providing some of the most innovative and cost effective anchoring solutions for a wide range of applications and industry sectors.
The Percussion Driven Earth Anchor can be rapidly installed into most displaceable grounds using lightweight, portable and readily available equipment. Unlike other anchor systems the Platipus anchor creates minimal disturbance of the soil during installation, can be proof tested to an exact holding capacity, made fully operational in just a few minutes and provides excellent performance in practically all situations.
Platipus is recognised for developing unique and diverse anchoring systems for many challenging situations. The simplicity and speed of installation of Platipus' anchoring systems make them the ideal solution for a wide range of temporary and permanent applications within the Civil Engineering & Construction industry.

Platipus developed the first Tree Anchoring System 30 years ago as an efficient, reliable and cost effective underground solution to secure semi-mature tree transplants. Since that time, the demand for mature planting schemes, without unsightly stakes or guy wires, has created the need to secure and stabilise much larger trees in difficult planting situations.

To control the buoyancy of submerged pipelines in areas at risk from rising levels of ground water, Platipus anchors are a cost effective solution that can be rapidly deployed with no requirement for heavy or expensive installation equipment. Our anchors are corrosion resistant and do not need cathodic protection.
The unique anchor design and method of installation makes Platipus the perfect choice for marine construction. Marine applications are generally located in the harshest and most aggressive environments and Platipus offer anchoring solutions in a range of high grade materials to suit all design life requirements, from temporary 5 year to permanent 120 years applications.
Technology in the vineyard and fruit growing industry improves with almost every harvest. The anchor point and end post kit for any trellis or crop protection system is usually the most vital component of the structure.
Industrial growth, an ever increasing population who communicate 24/7 and the need to utilise renewable energy have put huge stresses on communication and electricity distribution globally. As a result, distribution networks are in constant need of upgrade or refurbishment to handle the demand.
