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 13):
An inflation system for a rock anchor comprising:\n a pump system configured to fluidly couple to an interior volume of the rock anchor to inflate and drain the rock anchor; an inflation chuck configured to interface with the rock anchor and fluidly couple the interior volume of the rock anchor to the pump system, the inflation chuck defining:\n an opening configured to receive an end of the rock anchor; \n a first inflation path fluidly coupled to a first passage into the interior volume of the rock anchor; and \n a second inflation path fluidly coupled to a second passage into the interior volume of the rock anchor, wherein the pump system is configured to:\n introduce a first fluid into the interior volume to inflate the rock anchor; and \n introduce a second fluid into the interior volume to facilitate draining of the first fluid from the rock anchor.
