STEP 4
Backstop Assemblies
The Backstop Assembly is selected per application
and can be configured to protect hazards up to 8.5’
[2.6m] in width. Backstops can either be attached
directly to a barrier wall or a suitable structure
(Portable Concrete Barrier (PCB) Backstop, Flush
Mount Backstop) or installed as a stand-alone system
(Compact Backstop, Wide Flange Backstop). All
backstops require minimum assembly if they are not
pre-assembled.
PCB Backstop
The PCB Backstop (Figure 13) is configured from
parts anchored directly to an existing concrete barrier
wall. Refer to Step 1 and Step 2 for PCB Backstop
layout and anchorage details. Pipe Panel Mounts
bolt to the sides of the backstop and provide a
mounting point for the Slider and End Panels.
Refer to the System Configuration Chart in Appendix
“A” to determine system widths
and Capacity Limitations.
If a 36” [910mm] Backstop is desired, attach the 36”
[910mm] Backstop Adapters (Figure 14) to the sides
of the backstops and bolt the Pipe Panel Mounts to
the pivoting sections.
If the system is installed on an asphalt foundation, the
portable concrete barrier must be anchored using the
supplied brackets. Also, the Backstop Brace
Weldment must be bolted to the Compact Backstop
prior to anchoring.
