Match the product type to the anchorage detail
The structural drawing normally fixes the anchorage type. Where it does not, discuss the load case with the design team before finalising between bent-bar, plate and straight anchor options.
Define the finish early
Coating choice affects thread tolerance, lead time and cost. Agreeing it at enquiry stage avoids rework later in the order.
Agree documentation at order stage
Inspection stages, test requirements and documentation should be defined in writing before manufacturing. This is particularly important on oil and gas, power and export orders.
Plan delivery around erection
Foundation bolts are among the earliest items required on site. Building the delivery schedule around the civil programme, rather than the overall project date, prevents avoidable delays.
