I want to drill a number of holes through the concrete floor of my

Is this advisable to do? Would injecting some sort of silicone into the
holes make good the damp proofing? Or what is the solution to my
problem?

If it's heavy equipment does it really need bolting down?
Our heavy duty gym equipment is fabricated with drilled lugs however we
don't suggest nor advise bolting the kit to the floor as it wouldn't go
anywhere. Only one place that insisted on bolting it down was a big
military and more the fact the lugs were there in the first place and
HSE (or whatever they have there) insisted on bolting everything down.

Just a thought...

Could be handy of the navy aquired some though?
