F.2.1.8 Holes for anchor devices to be installed in concrete, masonry or rock should be drilled strictly in accordance with the information supplied by the anchor device manufacturer, particularly in respect of depth and diameter, and thoroughly cleaned, e.g. by brushing and blowing or vacuuming, to remove any dust. Thorough cleaning is essential to ensure a good grip by the anchor device. It is also essential that the recommended embedment depth of fixings is never reduced. If an obstruction during drilling prevents this, the location of the fixings should be moved. An obstruction such as a reinforcing bar may be drilled through with the permission of a responsible engineer.Anchors for rope access are used in pairs (see Part 2, 2.11.1 and 2.11.2). When anchor F.2.1.9 devices are installed in concrete, rock, block-work or brickwork, it is essential that they are spaced apart correctly. This information should be provided by the manufacturer.© IRATA InternationalAnnex F: Page 3 of 212013-Sep-01
