Anchor bolt
Embedded or post-installed fixing used to transfer forces between concrete, steel, equipment, or facade elements.
Why anchor bolts matter
Anchor bolts transfer tension, shear, or holding forces into concrete or masonry. Their position, embedment, edge distance, and compatibility with base plates or brackets must match the intended connection.
Common costly mistakes
- Cast-in anchors move during the pour.
- Base plates arrive and bolt holes do not align.
- Post-installed anchors are added too close to edges, reinforcement, or waterproofing.
What to verify
- Template, grid, level, and projection before pouring.
- Compatibility with steel base plates, facade brackets, or equipment supports.
- Any drilling or post-installed anchor decision is reviewed before hidden damage is created.
