Pre-Installation Considerations
Before beginning site excavation and barrier installation, note the following important
considerations.
Inspect the site and verify there are no underground utilities or overhead wires or
obstructions in the excavation area.
If possible, locate the installation away from routine foot traffic to reduce the chance
for pedestrian injury from the barrier's moving arm.
Soil compression strength around the barrier shall be a minimum of 1600 PSF (76.6
kN/m
2
) or per submittal guidelines. Compact and add gravel where necessary to
ensure solid soil base. Consult B&B Technical Support if soil compressive strength
does not meet this minimum requirement.
The barrier operates best when installed on a level surface. Both drive and receiver
stanchions should be plumb and level. Level site side-to-side prior to barrier
installation.
Excavate install site to accommodate a minimum concrete pad dimension shown to
match size of the barrier you have purchased. If site excavation cannot be completed
per these minimum dimensions, please contact B&B Technical Support.
Before you begin installation, you will need the following available on site prior to
installation:
Equipment for excavation, soil compaction, removal and disposal of spoilage
Concrete placing and finishing tools
Steel re-bar (can be ordered in optional installation kit)
Lifting equipment capable of moving and setting the Model 773 components into
