Cast in place or post installed anchor bolts

What is the preferred method for new concrete? A cast in place anchor bolt or post installed? My contractor is telling me that Post installed is just as good. Will it make a difference if its a adhesive or expansion anchor? Should I insist on Cast in place?

Hi DT,

Hilti offers several anchor options, adhesive and mechanical, for concrete applications. However, Hilti does not manufacture cast-in place anchors. Typically, engineers utilize Hilti’s free PROFIS Engineering software to compare a design with cast-in place anchors to the design with post-installed anchors.
