Shorter anchors mean less cement grout is needed. Cement is the highest contributor to CO2e emissions for ground anchors.

Reduced tendon length or fewer anchors more than offset emissions from the ferrous RIGA actuation mechanism.

Shorter anchors mean reduced drilling time and corresponding reduction in fuel use.
Reduced length is the overall advantage of Root-Inspired Ground Anchors. Research suggests RIGAs may reduce CO2-equivalenet emissions by around 25% relative to conventional grouted anchors (Huntoon et al., 2023).
High-capacity RIGAs can reduce the overall number of anchors required, creating even greater sustainability benefits.
