Revision C February 2023
Checking the Assembly
Check the assembly to ensure that all sections are properly aligned, full of water ballast, and not
leaking. All fill level indicators should be up. If any are not up, check to see if the decals used for
shipment are still in place and remove them. Make sure that all cables are present and all pins
are inserted. If for some reason a section needs replacement, refer to the Maintenance and
Repair section of this Manual on Page 20.
Retrieval
1. Begin retrieval at the downstream traffic end of the site and proceed upstream. Begin the
retrieval procedure by removing the water ballast. If site conditions permit, the quick
release gate valve may be opened to allow the water to drain. Insert the protective fill
level indicator caps.
Note:
The time it takes to drain a barrier section is approximately 4 1/2 minutes.
Caution:
Water on the traveled roadway may create a slippery surface for
vehicles. Proper traffic control shall be deployed.
If the water may not be drained at the site, then the water may either be siphoned out or
the section can be unpinned and moved by forklift to another work area or site where it
may be drained or stored.
Caution:
Do not use tension cables to lift barrier(s).
2. Once the water is removed, the pins may be removed and the sections separated.
3. Remove the empty sections onto the transport truck in the reverse order as they were
deployed. Secure the load before transport.
Storing
When storing the Triton Barrier
®
, be sure to leave the gate valve open or store upside
down.
Note:
Empty sections may be stacked. Filled sections may not be stacked.
