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 17):
The inflation system of  claim 13 , wherein the rock anchor comprises:\n an elongate anchor body configured to be at least partially disposed in a cavity that extends from a surface of a rock structure into the rock structure, the elongate anchor body comprising a sidewall that extends along a length of the elongate anchor body, the sidewall defining:\n a first opening that extends through the sidewall; and \n a second opening that extends through the sidewall; and \n a bushing disposed around the elongate anchor body and configured to interface with a washer disposed around the elongate anchor body, the bushing defining:\n a third opening that substantially aligns with the first opening in the elongate anchor body, the first and third openings forming the first passage into the interior volume of the rock anchor; and \n a fourth opening that substantially aligns with the second opening in the elongate anchor body, the second and fourth openings forming the second passage into the interior volume of the rock anchor.
