6.6 	Fixings

Consideration should have been given to
the fixing of cast stone at the design stage
so that any required fixings can be cast-in
during production. This will facilitate easy
installation and reduce unnecessary costs
and delays. Your UKCSA supplier will be
able to advise on the most cost effective
solutions to the requirements.

Here are some typical examples of fixing
solutions.
