Abstract:
Rock anchors, inflation chucks, and inflation systems such as those described herein, allow for substantially complete draining of fluids from interior volumes of the rock anchors. In various situations, corrosive fluids may be introduced to the rock anchor, including inflating the rock anchors and during normal use, such as by groundwater intrusion. The inflation chucks described herein include multiple inflation paths for more effectively introducing and draining fluid from rock anchors during inflation processes and during general use.

Claim (Index 18):
The inflation system of  claim 17 , wherein:\n the elongate anchor body has a first diameter in a first configuration; the interior volume of the elongate anchor body is configured to receive the first fluid via at the least one of the first or second passages, thereby causing the elongate anchor body to expand to a second expanded configuration in which the elongate anchor body has a second diameter greater than the first diameter; and\n in the second expanded configuration:\n an exterior surface of the sidewall of the elongate anchor body is configured to engage with an interior surface of the cavity, thereby retaining the elongate anchor body in the cavity; \n the bushing is configured to exert a force on the washer, thereby causing the washer to exert a corresponding force on the surface of the rock structure; and \n the first and second passages facilitate substantially complete draining of the interior volume.
