CDowels play a crucial role in securing structures to their base material, ensuring stability and preventing unwanted movement. Unlike soil nails and rock bolts, which function in tension, dowels remain passive until there is movement in the base material. Condor Engineering specialises in the installation of dowels across a wide range of projects, from stabilising infrastructure to securing flood protection systems.

Ensure structural stability with dowels
Dowels are essential for maintaining the integrity of structures in challenging environments. They are widely used to secure key infrastructure elements such as spillways, reservoirs and flood overflow tanks. By providing a strong shear connection between materials, dowels help prevent displacement and ensure that structures remain firmly in place.
Condor Engineering has successfully delivered numerous dowel installation projects, including:
Fixing down spillways at the base of dams and reservoirs to prevent movement.
Pinning down flood overflow tanks to counteract groundwater pressure and prevent them from ‘floating’.
Securing critical infrastructure where a strong bond to the base material is required.
Expert dowel installation for challenging environments
Many of the projects that require dowel installation present access challenges, such as confined spaces, steep terrain or areas where traditional scaffolding is impractical. Condor Engineering Group has a fleet of specialist and custom-built drilling equipment designed to operate effectively in difficult conditions.
Our expert team can deploy drilling rigs mounted on skid steel for enhanced manoeuvrability, allowing us to access confined working areas with precision. We have experience working in environments where mobility is critical, ensuring that dowels are installed accurately and efficiently even in the most demanding locations.
A range of dowel materials to suit every project
Different projects require different materials for optimal performance and longevity. That's why Condor Engineering Group is capable of installing the full range of dowels to meet the specific needs of your project.
Mild steel dowels: A cost-effective solution, particularly for temporary applications where longevity is not a primary concern.
GRP dowels: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for projects requiring durability without the risk of rust.
Stainless steel dowels: Offering maximum longevity and strength, stainless steel is perfect for permanent installations in demanding environments.
Our team carefully selects the most suitable dowel type based on the project’s structural requirements, environmental conditions and budget considerations.
