What Is Epoxy Anchor Special Inspection?
Epoxy anchor inspection — also called adhesive anchor inspection or post-installed anchor inspection — is a required special inspection under the California Building Code (CBC) for certain anchor installations in concrete and masonry. It ensures that anchors are installed per manufacturer's instructions and the approved plans, and that the adhesive system is properly applied to achieve the required load capacity. Without proper inspection, anchor installations may fail under load, creating serious structural safety risks.
When Is Epoxy Anchor Inspection Required?
Special inspection is required for adhesive anchors when:
Anchors are installed in a horizontal or upwardly inclined orientation to resist sustained tension loads.
Anchors are installed in any orientation where the engineer of record has specified continuous inspection.
The project structural drawings include special inspection requirements for post-installed anchors.
The local building jurisdiction requires inspection as a condition of permit issuance.
