Wick drains are prefabricated geotextile wrapped plastic strips with molded channels which act as drainage channels to take pore water out of soft compressible soil so it consolidates faster, often from decades to months. Earthquake drains also assist in draining water from the soil but do so during seismic events for soil subject to liquefaction.
Anchors transfer loads using grouted thread bars or strand tendons connected to a structure and bonding into stable soil or rock. They are commonly used in excavation support, tie down applications and slope stabilization. Anchors consist of full-length holes that are drilled vertical for uplift support or at angles for lateral support into the bond zone in soil or rock.
