The Need for Concrete Anchor Inspections
Ensure your anchor installations are up to code. The installation of anchors into hardened concrete during building inspection is a process that is heavily regulated by a number of different agencies, including the International Code Council (ICC) and the state of California’s Office of Statewide Health and Planning Development (OSHPD). In order to ensure that anchors are installed according to official concrete anchor specifications, professional anchor inspections are necessary.

Concrete Anchor Specifications
We know the code!
Regulatory guidelines exist for both cast-in anchors and post-installed anchors. These guidelines require a visual inspection of cast-in anchors before the concrete is placed. Post-installed anchors, on the other hand, can be inspected during installation or after the process is complete. Other specifications for concrete anchors vary depending upon the type, manufacturer, and application.
