Guildford Sewage Treatment Works: Match the Edge Protection to the Structure

At Guildford Sewage Treatment Works, edge protection was required across precast concrete structures as construction progressed. NON-DRILL connected directly to the existing lifting anchors, avoiding new holes and the associated dust, noise, vibration and make-good work. The project shows why the structure and construction sequence, not a one-size-fits-all product, should determine the edge-protection method.View case study

Eastern Freeway–Burke to Tram Alliance: Bridge Deck Edge Protection Before the Lift

What if the edge protection arrived with the bridge deck? On the Eastern Freeway–Burke to Tram Alliance project, NON-DRILL handrails were fitted to Transfloor panels at ground level and lifted into position with them. Discover how smarter sequencing reduced handrail installation at height, without drilling new post fixings into the panels.View case study

Case study

Evans Road: Face-Mounted Edge Protection Around a 9-Metre-Deep Pit

How do you protect a nine-metre-deep pit without putting temporary works in the way of the next concrete pour? At Evans Road, NON-DRILL used a face-mounted edge-protection system connected to embedded ferrules, keeping the slab surface clear while construction and safe access continued.View case study

Case study

Jersey Barrier Signage: Use the Connection That Is Already There

A client needed signage mounted to concrete Jersey barriers without obstructing passing truck mirrors -or adding new footings and precast blocks. NON-DRILL developed an offset connection that used the barriers’ existing lifting anchors and accommodated different anchor layouts. The result shows how a suitable connection already built into the structure can simplify temporary works without drilling or pouring more concrete.View case study

Case study

Sydney Water: One Edge-Protection System for Different Manhole Sizes

Sydney Water needed removable edge protection that could move between precast manholes of different sizes. NON-DRILL used the lids’ existing lifting anchors and adjustable rails to create one reusable system, without drilling new fixings into the concrete. Standardise the connection. Adapt the system. Reuse the temporary works.View case study

Case study

CPB Jersey Barrier Hoarding: Less Temporary Structure Around the Temporary Structure

CPB Contractors needed timber hoarding installed above concrete Jersey barriers without extensive drilling, framing and propping. Within 24 hours, NON-DRILL developed a steel-post solution that used the barriers’ existing lifting anchors and met the project’s wind-load requirements. The result reduced material and installation work—and showed why temporary works should not automatically create more temporary works.View case study

Case study

WestConnex Rozelle: How Do You Attach Something to a Barrier You Don’t Own?

At WestConnex Rozelle, the project team needed a cyclist rail mounted on hired concrete Jersey barriers, without returning them with drilled holes. NON-DRILL developed a removable connection using the barriers’ existing lifting anchors, allowing the rail to be installed and later removed without permanent modification. The temporary requirement disappeared. The hired asset did not have to carry the evidence of it forever.View case study

Kuatro Highrise Precast: Install the Edge Protection Before the Panel Reaches Height

On a high-rise project, handrails were being fitted to precast panels from a manbox after the panels had already been lifted into position. NON-DRILL proposed incorporating two additional anchors so the edge protection could be installed while each panel was still on the delivery truck. The panel could then be lifted with its protection already fitted, moving the work away from height rather than merely making installation at height more efficient.View case study

Case study

Barangaroo: Turning Jersey Barriers Into a Covered Walkway

Enviro Pacific needed a covered walkway at Barangaroo that could provide weather protection and move as the site progressed. NON-DRILL developed a foldable, wind-designed system that connected directly to the existing lifting anchors in the concrete Jersey barriers. The project shows what becomes possible when a lifting anchor is treated as a reusable interface—not merely a lifting point.View case study

Kuatro Highrise: Edge Protection Built Into the PT Slabs

On a Kuatro high-rise project, handrails were being fitted to precast panels from a manbox after the panels had already been lifted into position. NON-DRILL proposed incorporating two additional anchors so the edge protection could be installed while each panel was still on the delivery truck. The panel could then be lifted with its protection already fitted, moving the work away from height rather than merely making installation at height more efficient.View case study

What project teams say

Hear from our Clients

Practical feedback from contractors and project teams across building and infrastructure applications.

“When I first encountered NON-DRILL at Moorebank Intermodal Precint, I was very impressed in how simple and fast it was to install. For all my edge protection, I now incorporate anchors into design, so NON-DRILL can be easily utilised.”

JJ HattonSuperintendent, CPB

“With time and costs being a constant consideration within the construction industry. We at times, potentially do not spend sufficient effort on considering our achievements and who has aided us to reach them. ADCO Construction (WA) would like to thank NON-DRILL for their professionalism and commitment. The Lakelands Project team worked closely with NON-DRILL to adapt their product and deliver a best-fit solution for our train station platform build. The result was a cost- and time-effective engineered solution suitable for a live rail environment. We look forward to working together on future projects.”

Jason BallSenior Project Manager, ADCO

“I managed a supply / install contract with NON-DRILL, delivering high quality products with engineering solutions and professionalism. Especially utilising the NON-DRILL system on top of RSS walls, transferring temporary into permanent, is exceptional and outstanding.”

Abraham HongSenior Project Engineer, Seymour Whyte

“There was a late change in how our riser working platforms had to be used, and after struggling to find a handrail system that met our lifting requirements, a colleague recommended Non-Drill. At that point, our operations had come to a halt. I reached out to Non-Drill with our specifications at 3:30 pm, and by 5:30 pm, Paul had already shared preliminary sketches for a collapsible fall protection handrail system. Impressively, by 8:30 am the next day, they had constructed a prototype and sent me a demo video. Paul and his team were on site by the afternoon, installing the system. The entire process, from briefing to design, prototype creation, and installation, was completed in just 24 hours. The speed and efficiency with which they delivered a custom-built system were truly remarkable. I hadn’t imagined such a swift turnaround was possible.”

Michael CainProject Engineer, BUILT

“We have been using the NON-DRILL posts on the top of our RSS walls now for a couple of years. It is a great idea and allows the following work crews to complete their tasks without any clamps and so on in the way. Great design, strong, sturdy and easy to fit.”

Brett RasmussenDirector, 6P Constructions

“What I can say about the system is that it allowed us to provide a safe edge protection for the construction of the bridge deck, by mounting these onto precast units before being lifted into place. This proved very practical as it eliminated the risk of working at heights from the bridge deck. The system was easy and quick to assemble and disassemble, by using standard anchor points in the precast units. It was a great solution for our needs.Having the post set back 120mm allowed us to support the formwork for our concrete pour. This was a great benefit.”

Bernardo LamelaProject Manager, JFC

“I was looking for a product to provide fall protection on site and came across NON-DRILL after searching online. It’s quick and easy to use, with no need to drill into the concrete slab. The connection is cast in when the concrete is poured, so we can simply screw on the handrail system. It’s a quick, effective solution.”
