Welding anchor rod to anchor rod
Welding anchor rod to anchor rod
(OP)
I'm planning to extend some existing anchor bolts by welding additional rod to the top of bolt. I'm thinking of plug welding a sleeve to the top of the anchor bolt, and having the top of the sleeve threaded to thread in the new rod. I'm wondering if this seems reasonable or not, or if others have done something similat.

A word of caution if I might, my company installed some new/modified steel rolling equipment recently and the client wanted us to use the existing foundation bolts where possible however the original foundation bolts were installed in the 1950/1960's and we refused this request because we could not foresee what the condition the anchor bolts or the existing concrete was in. We ended up drilling new anchor bolt holes and grinding flush the existing ones.

Are new baseplate holes and chemical anchors out of the question?
