Anchors suitable to be installed under sea water

Anchors suitable to be installed under sea water

Hi, I would like to install a few anchors on an existing reinforced concrete wall (non-crack) under "Sea Water". The entire installation process will be performed underwater by divers, therefore the drilled holes will be submerged by sea water the whole time.

I am currently looking at RE 500 with HIT-V-R anchor rod, but there is only a report stating that it can be installed while submerging in "Fresh Water".

Therefore, may I ask whether the RE 500 is suitable for "Under Sea Water" installation? If not, is there any other anchors or product that can be installed under this situation?

Thank you so much.

Dear Johnny

We are sorry that RE 500 is no suitable for Under Sea Water installation and there is currently no any other anchors or product that can be installed under this situation.The ETA of RE500+HIT V is attached for your reference.
