Cast-in-Place vs. Mechanical Anchors
Cast-in-Place vs. Mechanical Anchors
(OP)
Does anyone have a feeling on the cost impact (per anchor) of installing cast-in-place anchors vs. doing it later with mechanical wedge anchors? Strength constraints aside, The testing requirements on the latter have to factor in, as well as the additional cost of the material itself. But is the setup time of the cast-in-place a much bigger portion?

While the cost of getting them in the right place should be included in the bid, often this is an item that is glossed over and then short-cut in the field. If done properly it requires proper location, proper templates and proper anchorage of the templates against movement during concrete placement.
