Anchoring
BG800 has successfully been tested with a
selection of anchoring methods and in various
ground conditions making it a versatile system
that can be used on many differing surfaces.
Standard BG800 requires anchoring to the
ground at each end of a run and at intermediate
locations spaced at 60m intervals. There are
integral anchor points beneath an easily
removed cover at the extreme end of the
specially designed anchor sections. There is a
second anchor point at the first bolted joint up
stream of the end of the section; these anchors
can either be external or internal anchor shoes
depending upon site restrictions or preference.
Both the anchor shoes and the integral anchor
points require 4 anchor pins/bolts each (8 in
total per end anchor section).
As a means of reducing the deflection of the
system, intermediate anchoring can be
introduced to create the BG800 Minimum
Deflection System (MDS) and Limited Deflection
System (LDS).
Delineators
Reflective delineators can be attached to the
side wall or top of the BG800 as required and at
the relevant spacing’s. There are two options of
delineators available, one a fixed reflector and
the second a reflector with a flexible joint which
helps makes it resistant to breaking.
In addition to the reflectors, there are available
specially manufactured brackets that allow cone
lamps to be fixed to the top of the BG800.
Other locally sourced options may also be
acceptable.
Kerbs
BG800 can be installed to a surface which is
raised by a kerb of no more than 100mm high.
Drainage
The design of BG800 incorporates 250mm long
feet located at regular intervals along the barrier
that sit 30mm below the base of the lower side
wall and span the full width of the barrier. There
are three steel feet per 6m section.
Weight
BG800 weighs approximately 90kgs a metre.
Standard 12m sections have a nominal weight
of 1080kg and 6m sections nominally 540kg.
