Yes – you drill a hole and use a setting tool to drive them in.

Dick,
Can the HDI's be installed into existing concrete? They looked like they were embeds in before the concrete is poured.

Anyone out there know of a post-installed concrete insert that has internal threads that would allow for an all-thread rod to be threaded in?
Similar to a ferrule or burke insert only it's drilled in to existing concrete?
TIA,
