Ground Anchors & Tie Bars for Steel Sheet Piling
Providing Strength, Stability & Long-Term Performance
At Ivor King, we offer a complete design, supply and installation service for ground anchors and tie bar systems, providing the essential restraint and stability needed for permanent or temporary retaining structures.
Our experience in steel sheet piling and ground engineering means we can deliver robust, reliable solutions tailored to the requirements of your project — from deep excavations and cofferdams to flood defences and quay walls.
Why Choose Ground Anchors and Tie Bars?
Ground anchors and tie bars are key components in sheet pile retaining walls, transferring the lateral load of retained ground or water back into a stable structure behind the wall. This helps reduce deflection, improve wall stiffness, and optimise material efficiency.
Typical Applications
- Excavation support for basements and foundations
- Marine and harbour works
- Flood and coastal defences
- Cofferdams and temporary works
- Retaining walls for highways and rail infrastructure
Our Expertise
At Ivor King, we don’t just install piling — we deliver complete engineered solutions. Our in-house design team works closely with clients and consulting engineers to specify the most appropriate tie bar or anchor system for each project.
We offer:

- Systems suitable for temporary or permanent applications
- A range of anchor types – mechanical, driven, or grouted
Whether your project calls for a tie-back solution or ground anchor system, our engineers have the technical expertise and on-site capability to deliver safely, efficiently and to the highest standards.
Working with Industry-Leading Systems
We work with trusted manufacturers to ensure quality and durability throughout every project. All our tie bar components — including anchor plates, couplers and waling connections — are designed for compatibility with our extensive sheet pile profiles and installation methods.
Our teams are experienced in:
- Welded and bolted connections
- Articulated joints to accommodate alignment changes
- Protective coatings and corrosion prevention systems for marine and aggressive environments
A Complete Service from Start to Finish
From early-stage design and ground investigation to installation and testing, we manage every element of your tie bar or ground anchor system. This integrated approach ensures:
- Optimum performance and cost efficiency
- Compliance with safety and environmental standards
- A streamlined delivery process that reduces on-site risk and programme time
