Anchor Pull Test provides anchor bolt pull testing across the Savannah metro area and the coastal Georgia region. All testing is performed to ASTM E3121 under Georgia's newly adopted 2024 IBC with Georgia Amendments. Savannah's coastal location brings unique considerations — higher wind exposure categories can trigger additional special inspection requirements for anchors in wind force-resisting systems, and the salt air environment accelerates corrosion that affects long-term anchor performance.

Savannah follows the 2024 IBC with Georgia Amendments, the same code as Atlanta and the rest of Georgia — effective January 1, 2026. All post-installed anchor testing must comply with IBC Section 1705.3 and ASTM E3121. Georgia also adopted the SEAOG Special Inspections Guidelines as an authorized reference standard.
Savannah Coastal Consideration
Savannah's location in Wind Exposure Category C (open terrain near the coast) means higher design wind speeds on many projects. Anchors in wind force-resisting systems — curtain wall attachments, rooftop equipment anchorage, cladding connections — may require additional special inspection and testing beyond the standard Table 1705.3 frequencies. The registered design professional determines these requirements based on the project's wind exposure and risk category.
