Steel Reinforcement Bars and Rebar—M30 SHALLOW FOUNDATION INSTALLATION ONLY   

With the Bolster on top of the road, slide the flat steel reinforcement bars through the I-beams Then lift the 
entire Bolster into the excavated trench and level.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

BOLSTER PLANNING & INSTALATION

 

 

! 

 

Pay close attention to the dimensions on your drawings and any tolerances required!  
Use laser level devices for accuracy. 

 

Use a qualified heavy equipment operator or rigger to lift and set the Bolster in place.   
Improper rigging may cause injury. 

                                         

 

 

The center section of the Bolster should be filled first.  This will minimize the  po-
tential for shifting during the pouring process
