Abstract

See full text

A system and method for installing a fastener rod is provided. In one embodiment a fastener rod starter apparatus is provided and may include a first end for engaging a fastener rod, a second end for insertion into an insertion hole, and an elongated body of closed cell foam having sufficiently low density and high compressibility to displace fluid in the insertion hole and be compressed to allow installation of the fastener rod into the insertion hole. A method for installing a fastener rod may include lubricating an insertion hole with a fluid and inserting a starter element into the insertion hole. The starter element may have sufficiently low density and high compressibility to displace the fluid in the insertion hole and be compressed by the fastener rod inserted into the insertion hole.
