Why New Age DROP-IN ANCHOR?

Flush-Mount Design Advantage
Zero protrusion above concrete surface. Ideal for ceiling installations where clearance is critical or fixtures require removal for maintenance access.

Egyptian-Made Structural Reliability
Manufactured at our Abu Rawash facility using precision forming equipment. Every anchor meets dimensional tolerances for consistent performance and code compliance.

Professional Installation System
Works with standard setting tools for reliable expansion. Internal mechanism ensures proper embedment without over-expansion risk.

Structural Engineering Certified
Load-tested per international standards. Provides engineers with documented capacity data for structural calculations and permit submissions.

Project-Proven Performance
Specified by Egypt’s leading consultancy firms and installed in high-profile developments where structural integrity cannot be compromised.

Quality-Controlled Manufacturing
In-house galvanizing process ensures consistent corrosion protection. Automated production minimizes dimensional variation between batches.

Primary Applications

Fire Protection Systems
Securing threaded rod hangers for sprinkler systems, standpipe supports, and fire pump room equipment in concrete structures.

HVAC Mechanical Systems
Anchoring duct supports, equipment pads, chilled water line hangers, and air handling unit mounting points.

Electrical Infrastructure
Cable tray supports, conduit hangers, transformer mounting, and electrical panel anchorage in commercial buildings.

MEP Retrofit Projects
Flush design allows anchor removal without concrete surface damage—essential for tenant improvement and equipment changeouts.

Installation Requirements

Concrete Specifications

  • Minimum Strength: 25 N/mm² (C20/25) at 28 days
  • Maximum Aggregate Size: 20mm
  • Curing Time: Minimum 7 days before anchor installation
  • Temperature Range: 5°C to 35°C during installation

Critical Installation Steps

  1. Drill Preparation: Use carbide-tipped masonry bit at specified diameter
