Fastener-receiving components for use in concrete structures

A structure-lining apparatus for lining one or more surfaces of a structure formed from material that is cast as a liquid in a form and subsequently solidifies, the apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of panels which extend in substantially orthogonal transverse and longitudinal directions, the panels connected at their respective transverse edges in edge-adjacent relationship to provide a structure-lining surface, at least a portion of the structure-lining surface abutting against a corresponding portion of the form during fabrication the structure;
• a plurality of anchoring components which project from the panels in an outward direction orthogonal to both the transverse and longitudinal directions and into the material during fabrication of the structure when the material is a liquid, the anchoring components each comprising:
• a fastener-receiving component comprising one or more fastener-receiving channels, each fastener-receiving channel defined by a pair of longitudinally and inwardly extending sidewalls and comprising one or more break-through elements which extend longitudinally and transversely between the sidewalls for receiving fasteners that penetrate therethrough, at least a portion of each fastener-receiving component encased in the material as the material solidifies to thereby bond the anchoring components to the structure.
