Installation Guide
Refer to the Universal TAU-II Installation and
Maintenance Manual for more information,
introduction, system overview, required tools, and
other considerations for the Universal TAU-II
systems.
The Universal TAU-II system is installed after the
BarrierGuard 800 is fully deployed, installed, and
anchored. Reference the BarrierGuard 800 Design,
Installation, and Maintenance Manual for complete
information on the BarrierGuard 800 barrier system
implementation and installation.
The Universal TAU-II system utilizes a monolithic
backstop that bolts directly in place of the terminal
cover of the BarrierGuard 800. The front cable
anchor remains as the only foundation anchorage
required for the Universal TAU-II system. The front
cable anchor is to be anchored to the same
foundation type as the end of the BarrierGuard 800
that it is attached to (PC Concrete or Asphaltic
Concrete). Anchorage shall be in accordance with
BSI specifications A040113.
Installation Procedure: Each Procedure references
a page number from the Universal TAU-II Installation
Manual for further information –
1.) Remove terminal cover from BarrierGuard
800 end section (if in place).
2.)
Install and fasten Universal TAU-II
BarrierGuard 800 Backstop in place.
(See
diagram on next page).
3.) Locate and position Front Cable anchor (see
below). Drill and secure the appropriate
anchors for the foundation used per BSI
specification A040113. Use the Front Cable
anchor as the drilling template. Use a BSI
approved anchoring compound. See pages
12 &13.
4.) Place the Middle Bulkheads along the
centerline of the system spaced
approximately 34” [865mm] apart. See page
13.
5.) Thread the guide Cables through the legs of
the Middle Bulkheads, threaded end first,
starting from the front of the system. Loosely
place the threaded end into the backstop lugs
and spin the nut on to hold it in place. See
pages 13 & 14.
6.) Pin the guide Cables to the Front Cable
Anchor with the shackles. See page 14.
7.) Install Cable Guides. See pages 14 & 15.
8.) Attach Pipe Panel Mounts. See page 15.
9.) Install the End Panels and first Slider Panels
starting at the Pipe Panel Mounts. If a
transition is to be installed the End Panel will
be replaced by the Angled End Panel. See
page 16 & 72.
10.) Install Slider Panels. Start from the back of
the system and move forward, overlapping
the rearward panel. Secure the panels in
place with the Slider Bolts. See pages 16 &
17.
11.)
Install the Front Support, attach the Slider
Panels, Nose Cover, and Leg Supports and
connect to the first Middle Support with Slider
Bolts. See page 18.
12.)
Torque Slider Bolts and Front Panel Bolts
and install Energy Absorbing Cartridges.
See page 19.
13.)
Apply tension to cables – Torque to
specification. Ensure foundation anchors are
properly cured. See page 20.
