Drag embedded anchor Anchor Selection The choice
between piles and anchors is only possible for permanent systems. Piles are not a good
investment when an anchored entity must be moved. But the choice is often
made for piles on emotional grounds; a pile does not drag! However, anchors
that are properly pre-tensioned on site will also not drag. While it is a
psychologically loaded subject, experience has shown that the choice
between anchor and pile is merely a matter of economics.
