Existing connection
Identify what is already cast into or available on the structure and review the relevant NON-DRILL product.

Undercover walkways
A covered walkway can sometimes start with connection points already in the site barriers. At Barangaroo, NON-DRILL used the lifting anchors in concrete Jersey barriers to support a foldable, relocatable covered walkway. It provided a route that could move as the work changed without drilling into the barriers or adding a separate line of concrete footings. The cover, posts, barriers and wind loading were considered together as one project-specific 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.
01What connection points are available?
02What walkway arrangement is proposed?
03What loads and approvals need confirmation?
Common questions
What project teams need to know first.
Can NON-DRILL be considered for Undercover walkways?
A covered walkway can sometimes start with connection points already in the site barriers. At Barangaroo, NON-DRILL used the lifting anchors in concrete Jersey barriers to support a foldable, relocatable covered walkway. It provided a route that could move as the work changed without drilling into the barriers or adding a separate line of concrete footings. The cover, posts, barriers and wind loading were considered together as one project-specific 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.
