Can anchors be installed in Permafrost or frozen soil?
Yes, but if the soil is frozen for the entire installation depth then a pilot hole will be required. Beware, frozen soil is very tough and may require heavy duty mechanized drilling and driving equipment. Anchor capacities in frozen soil are very high as long as the soil remains frozen, but if the soil around the anchor thaws the soil will revert to its thawed, lower capacity state.
