The Rock Reinforcement center in Feistritz/Drau, Austria
The Atlas Copco Swellex plant in Canada
Atlas Copco Rock Reinforcement

Ongoing development of faster, safer and more exotic tunnelling techniques places a constant pressure
on manufacturers to provide more efficient rock support solutions which will help the shortening of cycle
time. As ground conditions get more and more demanding, emphasis is placed on flexible and intelligent
support systems in which rock and soil reinforcement is expected to contribute to the productivity and
safety of the operation. The trend has been to provide rock support and reinforcement systems that are
easy to install, assure efficiency and provide safety.
For the last 25 years, Atlas Copco has been offering the SwellexTM concept as a unique, safe and reliable
system of rock support. As the market leader in underground rock excavation technology, Atlas Copco
has also been developing safer and more efficient rock reinforcement products such as the Manganese
line rock bolts, which are manufactured from a special type of steel. Another development is the Swellex
Premium line of rock bolts, for use where high yield load and stiffness are expected from the reinforce-
ment system.
When Atlas Copco bought MAI in 2001, the rock reinforcement center moved to Feistritz/Drau, Austria.
This acquisition made it possible to introduce a whole new range of products for Atlas Copco customers,
the MAI SDATM anchors, which are now being developed for mechanized installation by both surface and
underground drill rigs, creating fresh applications in rock and soil reinforcement.
Atlas Copco’s Rock Reinforcement Center in Austria brings together the skills necessary for the develop-
ment of superior rock reinforcement products to serve the tunnelling, mining and construction industries
worldwide. The combined product portfolio includes Swellex rock bolts and MAI SDA anchors with all
necessary accessories.
The strategy to act as “The professional supplier of specific and complete solutions in rock and soil re-
inforcement” has paid off, and the effort to invent and commit ourselves to more productive solutions is
stronger than ever.

Quality assurance means safety
Quality assurance – for safer
reinforcement
Safety in a mine is not something Atlas Copco,
takes lightly. It’s a major issue for those who own
and those who work there. A minor fault in a rein-
forcement bolt may prove fatal. That’s why
Atlas Copco rock bolts are rigorously tested to en-
sure the best possible quality and reliability. In fact
our Quality assurance system is the most compre-
hensive on the rock reinforcement market today.
ISO - Management systems

that work harder
ISO standards represent the best management
systems for quality and environmental issues. It’s
therefore not surprising that Atlas Copco is ISO
9001 certified to systematically control overall
quality. The company is also ISO 14001 certi-
fied to minimise the environmental impact of the
company. These are applied at every Atlas Copco
manufacturing plant as well as every distribution
and customer centre. They basically form the basis
of the company’s Quality Assurance program.
Quality control starts at the

suppliers...
ISO certification is the prerequisite for every
Atlas Copco supplier. Whether it’s rods for MAI
self drilling anchors or steel profiles for Swellex,
suppliers have to follow our specified tolerances.
To ensure their quality, we test every batch for
deviations and register the results.
...and ends at the clients

To confirm that finished bolts can withstand the
working pressures stipulated, we carry out destruc-
tive tests on samples of Swellex bolts and MAI
self-drilling anchors. And if this is not enough, eve-
ry bolt is stamped with its own number. So should
a problem arise, the cause can be efficiently traced
back and action can be taken promptly to rectify it.
In accordance with ISO9001, Atlas Copco has
developed comprehensive instruction and training
material to enable end-users to install bolts and
anchors correctly and safely.
4
Quality assurance means safety
There are two important quality parameters for a
MAI self-drilling anchor. Firstly, that anchors can
withstand the stipulated working pressure and,
secondly, that couplings and bits can be easily
threaded.
Ultimate load tests are carried out on 1 in 200 of
the manufactured anchors. A special test bench
pulls these anchors until they break and the results
are monitored. Should an anchor fall short of the
given tolerances, production is stopped and the
fault is rectified.
Atlas Copco MAI also offers a hot dip galvanized
MAI self-drilling anchor. This galvanised layer has
to be the right thickness for the couplings and bits
to be threaded on properly.
Again, a sample of anchors is removed from the
production line during each shift and the thickness
of the galvanisation is tested and registered.
Swellex rock bolts

This expandable rock bolt is more complex to
manufacture than a MAI SDA. The steel profile is
pressed into shape and a bushing is welded on the
open end-piece. As pressurised water is used to
install a Swellex bolt in the hole, leakages are not
wanted. That’s why each and every bolt is tested
for leakage as part of the production process. This
unique operation is augmented by destructive
expansion tests where 1 bolt in 200 is pressurised
to the limit to ensure that the batch can withstand a
minimum a working pressure of 300 bar.
In effect, one sample bolt is removed at the begin-
ning of each shift and one when a new batch of
steel profiles is used. This means that 1% of all
bolts are sacrificed in the name of quality assur-
ance.
We, at Atlas Copco, believe that assuring quality
throughout the complete supply and distribution
chains is the best way of ensuring the highest level
of safety for our customers.

MAI SDA anchors versus Swellex bolts
The Atlas Copco MAI SDA is a unique bolting
solution for unstable ground conditions such as
sand, gravel, silt, and clays, and in soft to medium
fractured rock formations.
For projects facing such ground conditions, MAI
SDA self-drilling anchors should be considered as
the main productivity solution.
Atlas Copco Swellex rock bolts, which are
quickly and safely installed in rock not tending to
collapse, gives immediate support, speeding up
operations and boosting revenues. Over the past
two decades, the Swellex rock bolting solution has
become world famous as the simplest, fastest and
most reliable rock reinforcement technology avail-
able.
MAI SDA installation

The MAI SDA solution is designed for optimized
installation, tailored to the project’s needs. By
drilling a hole in collapsing soil or loose rock, with
a sacrificial drill bit and a hollow rod, and after the
drilling operation injecting grout into the hollow
rod and surrounding cavity, makes it a top produc-
tivity solution.
MAI SDA manual installation
Swellex installation
The Swellex bolt is a folded steel tube, which is
inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the rock. Water
is blasted into the tube at high pressure, blowing
out the fold and expanding the tube into the exact
shape of the hole, adapting to every irregularity.
Bolt installation takes less than 30 seconds, and
provides full and immediate support along the
entire hole length, in ground conditions ranging
from the hardest rock to clay even non-cohesive
material. Swellex manual installation

grain structure of the steel, increasing the yield ered
strength, and producing a durable drill rod suit- Rend Hollow anchor rods
able for a range of applications. The standard rope
thread of the anchor rod produces an excellent
bond between the rod and grout, as well as ena-
bling connection to all Atlas Copco Boomer face
drilling rigs and Atlas Copco Roc surface drill rigs,
and use with a wide range of drill steel accessories.
The anchor rod is produced in 12 m lengths and
then cut to size depending on customer require-
ments. Standard delivery lengths are 1 m, 2 m, 3
m, 4 m and 6 m. Recommended maximum rod
lengths depend on diameter and can be up to 6 m.
Additional lengths up to 12 m are available on
request.
Extension couplings
The coupling features a patented design that
enables direct end-to-end energy transmission
between each bar, reducing losses and ensuring
maximum percussive energy at the drill bit.
To enable the correct seating of each bar within the
coupler, all bars are chamfered with precision to
enable the bar ends to have contact.

Hexagonal nuts
The hexagonal nut is manufactured with cham-
fered edges on both ends from high precision steel,
and tempered to meet any stringent demands of the
anchor specifications and the daily operations of
underground works.

Galvanized anchors
Corrosion is a very complex process, and corro-

ever, predictive methods can be helpful to evaluate
the need for corrosion protected rock bolts. For
this reason Atlas Copco has developed a hot dip
galvanizing corrosion protection. The full range
of SDA bars with couplings and nuts are available
with this corrosion protection.

quired as it snags during rotation and interferes
with grout circulation in the borehole. The use of
a centralizer does not guarantee comprehensive
grout cover along the length of the bar as it's is im-
possible to control the grout within the borehole.
Coupling boxes Centralizer
Manufactured from thick-wall steel which is

machined and case hardened. Coupling boxes are
used at high wear locations, typically just below
the hammer drive. A locking torque is normally
applied to the coupling box at the permanent joint,
to avoid release when additional anchor bars are
added.
All the coupling boxes are supplied with a bridge
to act as a centre stop.
When a step down (reducer) drive arrangement is
used i.e. R38 shank to drive to install R32 anchor
bar, a locking torque should be applied at the R38
end to prevent the R32 bar climbing into the R38
chamber.
Step up drive arrangements are not recommended
Coupling boxes
as the additional torque overloads the smaller
drive.
Shanks
Rotary percussion is the preferred method of in-
stallation. Either hydraulic or air hammer is suit-
able. To transfer the rotation and percussion from
the hammer to the bar's system there is a need for
the special tool named shank adapter. Atlas Copco
is providing a full range of different shank adapt-
ers for different hammers.

Grout coupling
After using standard flushing media - water or air,
grouting has to be done. For connecting the grout-
ing hose from the pump with the anchor bar, the
grout coupling is used. The grout coupling will be
removed and reused after the grouting process is
done.

Swellex rock bolts
Since its introduction 25 years ago, the Swellex
rock bolting system has gained wide recognition
in mining and tunnelling works. It is a unique rock
bolt, as it is made out of a welded tube folded on
itself and sealed at one extremity. It is re-expanded
using a high pressure water flow provided by a spe-
cial pump and adapter. The bolt is expanded inside
a borehole drilled into the excavation wall, why the
installation process is easy and very similar as other
rock bolts, making Swellex accessible to all opera-
tors.
The speed and quality of installation and the exten-
sive application range have solved support problems
and increased profitability for contractors and mine
operators all over the world. As mine and tunnel
safety requirements have become more stringent,
the prompt, reliable and versatile support available
with Swellex rock bolts has made them the best for
most problem solving, and one of the best for rock
reinforcement in general.
Through a process of continuous improvement,
Atlas Copco has refined Swellex to offer the most
versatile portfolio of rock bolts available on the
market. Swellex rock bolts from Atlas Copco ex-
ist in two typical versions, one being the Swellex
Premium line, a relatively stiff rock bolt for tunnel-
ling and mining in moderate stress conditions, and
the other one called the Swellex Manganese line, a
highly deformable rock bolt for large rock deforma-
tion situations.
Another improvement is the line of corrosion
protected Swellex. From the well accepted rubber
bitumen coating to the new Plasticoated Swellex for
highly corrosive environments, Atlas Copco cov-
ers all demands for corrosion protection and long
life rock bolts. And again, for special applications
like hangers and deep reinforcement, Atlas Copco
has perfected versions of Swellex to perform these
tasks with the same easy system. With the Swellex
Hanger Pm24H, the operator can install its serv-
ice hanger in the same reinforcement operation as
the primary support. The Connectable Pm24C is a
modern replacement to medium length cable bolts,
with high productivity, quality control and safety
components.

Swellex features
The Swellex rock bolt is made out of a welded
steel tube folded on itself and sealed at one extrem-
ity, while the other extremity is set with a special
head bushing used for inflation and retaining of the
face plates typically used in rock bolting.
The expansion of the bolt, inside the drilled bore-
hole, creates a friction and interlocking anchor,
which provides instant reinforcement and support. A Swellex rock bolt before An inflated Swellex rock bolt
inflation adapted to the bore hole’s
irregularity
Swellex rock bolts can be considered as a full
column support as they provide reinforcement and
support on the whole length of the borehole, what-
ever happens at the collar area.
Due to its unique anchorage mechanism, the

Swellex bolt can adapt to a wide variety of ground
conditions and provide good to excellent anchor-
age capacity in most rock types. The steel profile
can also adapt to shear movements, and in softer
materials the Swellex bolt accommodates large
shear displacements without failure.
The simplicity of the system can explain its per-
formance. The operator simply drills a hole in the
rock, inserts the bolt and then inflates it to a pre-
determined pressure using a dedicated inflation Friction and interlocking support of the whole length
system. The pump stops when reaching the rec-
ommended inflation pressure that guarantees the
quality of the installation.
Swellex rock bolts can easily be pull tested. In
fact, a Swellex rock bolt has the easiest pull test
operation of any rock bolt type.
As the anchorage principle of Swellex is a tight
interlock with the asperities of the borehole sur-
face, corrosion can develop if the environment is
prone to corrosion processes. In order to provide a
solution for long term reinforcement, and handle
particularly aggressive situations, Atlas Copco Swellex net washer for screening
provides two versions of protected Swellex bolts, Bridges gaps in the rock

Swellex rock bolts
Atlas Copco offers a versatile portfolio of rock
bolts that provides reinforcement solutions for
ground conditions varying from easy to very dif-
ficult. With three typical capacity ranges, at 120
kN, 160 kN and 240 kN, the Swellex rock bolts
can be used in most reinforcement and support ap-
plications. They can also be used either in mines or
in civil engineering applications and their specific
mechanical properties will provide the needed
safety and performance. Selection of a rock bolt is
usually done during the design phase of an excava-
tion, and is the prerogative of the design engineer
as it involves geological and structural knowledge
and engineering computation. However, the fol-
lowing sections can help understand the specific
mechanical properties of the Swellex bolts and
ease the selection process.
Premium line
The Premium line is a typical tunnelling bolt, with
a high yield load and good deformability. It pro-
vides a competitive strength combined with the
classic Swellex system performance. Pm rock bolts
can also be used in mining when low to medium
stress conditions require a stiff Swellex rock bolt
with a high yield load. However, Pm line Swellex
are deformable enough to provide a safe behaviour
in rising stress conditions and can be used in most Swellex Premium line rock bolts
typical mining environments.
Manganese line
The Manganese line was developed to suit large
stress changes occuring in some mining and tun-
neling projects. Made from a very specific steel
type, Mn rock bolts receive a heat treatment to im-
prove their mechanical properties. Manganese line
Swellex rock bolts have a unique yielding behav-
iour that can be matched only with the proper steel
manufacturing. As a result, they provide a high
ultimate load and a large deformation capability.
Because of these outstanding mechanical proper-
ties and the quality assurance associated with the Swellex Manganese line rock bolts
Swellex system, the Manganese line has been a
mining success.

Bitumen coated Swellex is created by coating a
Swellex bolt with a thick rubber bitumen paint, to
provide medium term corrosion protection against
most corrosive conditions.

Plastic coated Swellex is providing its long term
corrosion protection through a thick plastic coating
that is impervious to water and current. The dam-

Swellex Pm24C – a connectable bolt

Further to the typical pattern rock bolting appli-
cation, the Swellex Pm24C offers the possibility
of deeper reinforcement without grouting opera-
tion. The Swellex Pm24C is a connectable rock
bolt, which consists of individual sections that are
joined together via “R” thread connections. The
required bolt length is achieved by adding one
or more sections. Swellex Pm24C bolts are very
competitive against short and medium length cable
bolts.

Swellex Pm24H – a hanger

The Swellex Pm24H is a new generation of hanger
that provides a high anchorage capacity hanger
with a flanged head with a female M36 thread. The
rock bolt has a static axial load carrying capacity
of 200 kN and is designed for hanging services.
The final hanging capacity is determined by the
eye bolt capacity. After the Pm24H bolt has been
installed by using an inflation adapter, a forged eye
– bolt with M36 thread is screwed on. Utilities can
then be suspended directly from the eye – bolt. As
the Pm24H is not designed for excentric loading,
the design load should always be coaxial to the bolt
profile, and the bolts installed as vertical as pos- The Swellex hanger system
sible. The end sleeve should be inside the borehole

Swellex Pm24H can be installed using standard
Swellex installation equipment combined with a
small inflation adapter.

expand the bolt.
Mechanized installation
Rock bolting for mining and tunnelling has
reached a phase of performance never attained
in the past. While spot bolting is still used to
stabilize individual blocks in roofs and walls of
excavations, the trend is to use rock bolting as a
systematic mean to provide a global reinforcement
mechanism that will allow longer and safer use of
underground excavations.
Along these changes, mechanization of rock bolt-
ing has become a preferred way for many tunnel
and mining operators. Not only does a mechanized Fully mechanized installation of Swellex with a Boltec
drill rig
installation provide a higher productivity, it also
helps to maintain a safer working environment.
However, since the demand for manually installed
rock bolts is still high, support systems must be
flexible and allow manual as well as mechanized
installation operations.
Over the last decade, it has been recognized that
the installation operation is a critical step in as-
suring the effectiveness of a rock support system.
If not properly installed, the best rock bolt will
behave poorly and provide a false sense of security
that is detrimental to the reinforcement purpose.
Better bolting operation and quality control of the
raw materials is now a basic component of a good
reinforcement system.

Swellex rock bolts
Swellex face plates
Face plates are used to create a local surface sup-
port around the borehole collar area. With point
load anchor bolts, the plate is used to transfer the
displacement of the rock mass into the rock bolt,
without it no load transfer can take place. Full col-
umn support like grouted bolts and friction bolts
need a face plate to maintain rock mass loading on
the area of the collar only as most of the loading
occurs along the bolt body. Face plates are used to
maintain local roof stability, to prevent keyblock Swellex face plates
movement, and retain surface support like mesh.

The Swellex face plates are manufactured from
high quality steels, and meet or exceed the prop-
erties stated in the individual specifications. All Soft ground conditions

Swellex installation pumps
The installation system for Swellex rock bolts con-

sists of a high pressure water pump coupled with
an inflation chuck that is pushed over the bolt’s
head bushing to conduct the water flow from the
pump to the inside of the bolt. The water pumps
used for this operation are high pressure pumps
that can rapidly and safely deliver the 300 bars
constant pressure specified for a perfect instal-
lation. The inflation chuck is a safe and simple
system that grips and injects the water inside the
bolt. Once the inflation is completed, the pressure
is released manually, or automatically, like with the
Inflation chuck

low operating costs. The HC1 version has been
designed to assure the quality of installation by
controlling the inflation until the required pressure
is reached. It then maintains this pressure for a set

Swellex E1
The electric Swellex pump E1 is a fast and quiet,
high pressure water pump. It has an electrically
driven Triplex plunger pump for up to 320 bar
installation pressure. The main advantage is that
the flow delivered by the pump is independent of
the water pressure and thus speeding up the bolt
expansion process. The expansion time for a 6.0
m long Mn24 or Pm24 rockbolt is less than 60
seconds. The pump is equipped with electric main
switch, a pressure sensor on the incoming water
side and an outlet pressure sensor with signal light.
The outlet pressure from the pump can easily be
adjusted via a pressure switch. The pump can also
be used as a high pressure washing unit when used Areas of use

cial set up during the bolt installation. Accordingly,
new and old Swellex bolts can be tested with the
same ease. Atlas Copco provides a complete pull
tester set for the customer's convenience.
The Swellex pull-tester is designed to meet the
highest demands on accuracy and portability that Pull tester
professional users in the mining and tunnelling
industry put on a measuring instrument of this
type. With Swellex pull-tester you can test any Pull test equipment
installed Swellex bolt. The adapter sleeve grips Description Weight Product number

face plates.
Steel sleeves
When performing non destructive sliding tests
to estimate the specific anchorage capacity of
Swellex bolts in a given rock type or rock mass
conditions, it is customary to use steel sleeves
passed over the profile to reduce the effective
anchored length, thus enabling to slip out the bolt
without failure. Atlas Copco can also provide those
sleeves for the customer convenience.
Steel sleeves are an important tool when perform-
ing anchorage capacity pull tests. These tests are Steel sleeves provided for performing anchorage
done to verify that the rock bolt can provide the capacity estimation
necessary retaining force to hold the rock in place.

The Swellex Mesh Washers are used for instal-
lation of wire mesh on already installed Swellex
rock bolts. This special friction washer is pushed
over the inflation bushing head and can carry
over 10 kN. Care must be taken that the washer is
pushed straight over the bushing head and that the
teeth of the hole are not broken or bent during the
process.

Colour plugs
Color plugs are designed to help differentiate the
length of Swellex bolts once the bolts are installed
in the excavation. When more than one length of
Swellex bolts are used in the same excavation, col-
our plugs are an easy and efficient way to perform
quality control on the reinforcement system as they
allow rapid identification of the bolt.
