Can power actuated fastenings be made into green concrete?

Hey Customer,
thank you for your question. In view of the significantly lower strength of green concrete (less than 28-day cure), it is recommended that power-actuated fastenings not be made in cast-in-place concrete which has cured for less than 7 days, unless site testing is performed to verify the fastening capacity. Power-actuated fastening capacity should be based on the concrete strength at the time of installation. Please feel free to reach out any time, if you need additional information.
Kind Regards
Justin
