Existing connection
Identify what is already cast into or available on the structure and review the relevant NON-DRILL product.
Discuss your project Application
Culverts
Precast culvert units commonly have lifting anchors along their top edges. Where those points are suitable, NON-DRILL can use them to install Edge Protection after the units are placed, without drilling new post holes. At headwalls and wing walls, a side connection using planned ferrules can keep the top surface available for forming and finishing work. This gives the project team a way to coordinate protection with the culvert installation and the next stage of construction.
Discuss your projectThe starting point
Use the connection already available, or consider it early.
NON-DRILL begins with the structure, the anchor or fixing point and the Edge Protection requirement. The product is then matched to the application rather than forcing the project into a generic arrangement.
Design-stage connection
If the project is early enough, consider the position and purpose of the connection before manufacture or construction.
What to establish
Questions for the first project conversation.
01Which anchors are present in each element?
02Is a side connection required?
03What is the headwall and wing-wall sequence?
Common questions
What project teams need to know first.
Can NON-DRILL be considered for Culverts?
Precast culvert units commonly have lifting anchors along their top edges. Where those points are suitable, NON-DRILL can use them to install Edge Protection after the units are placed, without drilling new post holes. At headwalls and wing walls, a side connection using planned ferrules can keep the top surface available for forming and finishing work. This gives the project team a way to coordinate protection with the culvert installation and the next stage of construction. The available anchor, structure and complete Edge Protection arrangement must be reviewed for the project.
Does the anchor need to be planned into the design?
Not necessarily. Existing anchors are the most common starting point. Where the project is still at design stage, connection points can also be considered early.
What should I send for an initial review?
Send drawings, anchor details, dimensions, clear photographs, the project stage and a description of the Edge Protection requirement.

Send the drawings, anchor details, photographs and project stage. NON-DRILL can help identify the likely next step.
