Abstract: A guardrail system (20) and method comprises utilizing at least one through-hole (577) of a poured concrete wall (520) of a structure (500) to affix a stanchion (22, 122, 222) to the wall inside a bay (530) of the structure. The stanchion allows for a guardrail (30) or a gate to be conveniently and securely positioned within the bay (530) without damage to the structure and without covering an edge (515, 525) of the structure (500). A fastener (24) inserts through the through-hole (577) which is a pre-existing tie-hole (576) resulting from formation of the wall (520). In one optional aspect a guardrail stanchion (222) includes a base segment (50) having at least two slots (26) for receiving fasteners (24) which insert through two tie-holes (576) of the wall (520), and at least one side segment (52) having at least one adjustment port (56), the side segment (52) extending generally perpendicular to the base segment (50).

Abstract: A guardrail system and method comprises utilizing at least one through-hole of a poured concrete wall of a structure to affix a stanchion to the wall inside a bay of the structure. The stanchion allows for a guardrail to be conveniently and securely positioned within the bay without damage to the structure and without covering an edge of the structure. A fastener inserts through the through-hole which is preferably a pre-existing tie-hole resulting from formation of the wall. In one optional aspect a guardrail stanchion includes a base segment having at least two slots for receiving fasteners which insert through two tie-holes of the wall, and at least one side segment having at least one adjustment port, the side segment extending generally perpendicular to the base segment. A pair of stanchions may be affixed to opposing walls within the bay, and guardrails affixed thereto and spanning across the bay.
