Swing Gate Bolt Down Procedure
1. You need to prepare the ground to accept the swing gate tower. you should consult the issued CAD
drawings. Be sure to CAT scan any area before excavation
2. The re are 2 different ways the gates are installed depending on what you order. The gate is installed i n
2 steps if it is “cast-in” where the first pour is set below the ground level and the gate is bolted down
then a second pour is done up to the ground level. Please note! if the gate is being installed in an area
with a high water table you need to ensure you have adequate drainage. I f you have opted for a “bolt-
down” installation then it would just be 1 step where it is just bolted down to the plinth at ground level.
3. the first pour of concrete (mentioned above) this should be 700mm deep. When this has cured you
drill and chem fix 4 x M20 threaded bars into the surface to line up with the fixing holes in the gate tower
base plate, (these have a nut above and below the tower base plate for adjustment/alignment
purposes).
4. The gate leaf & tower will be lowered (base plate first) onto the threaded bar. here it will secured and
leveled up in all direction s ensuring that the tower sits up out of the hole to the correct (level) height.
This is a very important step as when the other gate is fitted. It will need to line up with the secondary
leaf or catch post depending on the order . Please note that this is very important as there is only a
MINIMAL adjustment once the gates receive the second pour of concrete.
5. Once the gate has now been lowered onto the threaded bar and has been leveled accordingly the duct
can be pushed through the hole in the gate tower if it is cast in . If it is a bolt down then this would be
through the center of the base plate.
6. Once the duct has been fed through the duct hole the second pour can be made (cast in only) . You
must allow for ducting to link one tower to the other or to the catch post as you have to have a
communication s cable to allow the Master/Slave function and the photocells .
