Field checklist
- Find the approved anchor/detail.
- Confirm location and edge distance with layout/control lines.
- Check for post-tension, rebar, deck flute, embedded conduit, or no-drill zones.
- Use the approved bit/anchor/depth.
- Ask before drilling if anything is unclear.
Ask foreman
Is this location approved to drill, and do we need scan/anchor/detail verification first?
Do not
Do not drill structural deck, slab, beam, or concrete just because the hanger line needs a hole.
Why it matters
A wrong hole can hit structure, utilities, post-tension, or create a failed support.
