Existing connection
Identify what is already cast into or available on the structure and review the relevant NON-DRILL product.
Discuss your project Application
Precast panels - high-rise / data centres
Precast panels often arrive with lifting anchors or planned cast-in ferrules that can provide a starting point for Edge Protection. NON-DRILL matches its connection to the panel and, where the lifting method allows, can be fitted before the panel reaches height. That moves handrail work to a more manageable stage and avoids drilling new fixing holes into the finished panel. At Eastern Creek, preset ferrules in data-centre panels provided the connection for a project-specific roof-edge arrangement.
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 cast into the panels?
02Where will Edge Protection be needed?
03What is the lifting and installation sequence?
Common questions
What project teams need to know first.
Can NON-DRILL be considered for Precast panels - high-rise / data centres?
Precast panels often arrive with lifting anchors or planned cast-in ferrules that can provide a starting point for Edge Protection. NON-DRILL matches its connection to the panel and, where the lifting method allows, can be fitted before the panel reaches height. That moves handrail work to a more manageable stage and avoids drilling new fixing holes into the finished panel. At Eastern Creek, preset ferrules in data-centre panels provided the connection for a project-specific roof-edge arrangement. 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.
Discuss your project
Discuss a Precast panels - high-rise / data centres application.
Send the drawings, anchor details, photographs and project stage. NON-DRILL can help identify the likely next step.
