Concrete Installation
INSTALLATION TO CONCRETE
STEP 1
LOCATE THE STEEL IN THE CONCRETE. Use a digital
metal detector to locate the steel when
positioning the Anchor Rod into the concrete. This
ensures steel is avoided when drilling.
STEP 2
Mark out the position to be drilled. NOTE: Lifelines
should not be positioned close to an edge, minimum
distance 150mm. If any doubt exists as to the
strength of the structure an engineer should make
the assessment.
STEP 3
Mark drill bit or set drill depth to 120mm, this
enables easy detection of correct length.
STEP 4
Drill a 14mm or 18mm hole into the concrete
(minimum 115mm embedment into structure
concrete). The hole must be moisture and dust free
(using a form of compressed air, vacuum or brush to
clean it).
STEP 5
Apply the recommended epoxy adhesive into the
hole at the rate stated by the product
manufacture. Refer the adhesive manufacturer’s
catalogue for the adhesive strength and
installation requirements
STEP 6
Insert the anchor rod down into the adhesive in
the hole. Ensure you use enough adhesive chemical
as specified by the chemical manufacturer to cover
the hole. A small amount of gel should be expelled
once the rod is installed, wipe excess away.
