2) Anchor the Backup and Monorail
See Figure 18 (showing Backup Assembly) and Figure 20 (showing Monorail deployment).
Also refer to the drawing package and the approved anchoring instructions (p. 16).
Warning:
Location of the system is critical and dependent on the type of
Transition Panel used. Consult project plans supplied by the applicable highway
authority with the system for details.
Step 1. Tension Strut Backup Assembly (Figure 18)
Locate the Backup and Monorail on the pad with the side of the Monorail on the
construction line (Figure 20). Verify that applicable Transition Panels fit properly before
anchoring the Backup. Drill 7/8” [22mm] diameter by 5 3/4” [146 mm] deep anchor holes
in the pad using the Backup as a template. Do not drill through pad. Anchor the Backup
to the concrete pad using approved adhesive kits (p. 16).
Step 2. Monorail Assembly
Locate the Monorail on the construction line as shown in the Monorail Assembly drawings.
Drill 7/8” [22mm] diameter by 5 3/4” [146 mm] deep anchor holes using the Monorail as a
template (Figure 20). Do not drill through the pad. Anchor each Monorail section using the
provided approved adhesive kits (p. 16). It is important to attach each segment of Monorail
in alignment from the back to the front of the system (±1/4” [6 mm]).
Warning:
Improper alignment at the Monorail Splice Joints will prevent proper
system collapse during an impact.
Warning:
Every hole and slot in Backup and Monorail must have an approved
adhesive stud anchoring it.
