How soon after casting an R.C base can drilling and setting of resin anchors take place.
Hi I am working on a project involving pipe supports on new R.C pads. The anchors in the attached designed are to be cast in a new recently poured pad. Our client needs to drill and fix them as soon after casting as possible. What is the minimum time after pouring is drilling and setting permissible please?
