Anchor Pull Test provides anchor bolt pull testing across the Atlanta metro area and within a four-hour radius of our Atlanta base. All testing is performed to ASTM E3121 under Georgia's newly adopted 2024 IBC with Georgia Amendments — effective January 1, 2026. We test post-installed expansion anchors, adhesive anchors, undercut anchors, screw anchors, and fall protection anchor systems with calibrated Enerpac hydraulic equipment. Test reports include everything required for IBC Section 1705.3 special inspection compliance.

The City of Atlanta Office of Buildings follows the 2024 International Building Code with Georgia Amendments, effective January 1, 2026. Georgia jumped directly from the 2018 IBC to the 2024 IBC — skipping the 2021 edition. This means Atlanta projects permitted after January 1, 2026 must comply with six years of code updates all at once. Georgia also adopted the SEAOG Special Inspections Guidelines as an authorized reference standard for implementing Chapter 17 special inspections.
For detailed information on what changed, see our Georgia 2024 IBC Anchor Testing Changes page.
Atlanta-Specific Note
The City of Atlanta Office of Buildings has specific permit review processes for special inspections. Project teams should confirm the Statement of Special Inspections (SSI) is included in the permit application and that inspector qualifications meet Georgia's new Table 1704.2 requirements. Coordinate with the plan reviewer early — don't wait until the inspector shows up on site.
