BARRIER
ARRIER
For ease of transportation, posts and barrier are despatched separately and should be
erected individually starting with the main barrier hinge post.
Steel packing pieces of various thicknesses should be available to place under the base
plate for levelling purposes. Check that the post is dimensionally positioned correctly with
reference to its closing post, which should be erected in a similar manner. (In the case of a
pair of barriers, check the centre distance between both posts). Ensure that all posts are
vertical before final bolting down.
Barrier Post:: :
Using a 16mm heavy duty masonry drill bit in a suitable percussion drill, drill through the
four base plate holes to a depth of 180mm taking care to keep the hole free from
excessive dust. The 16mm x 160 long expansion bolts can now be hammered into the
prepared holes, keeping the nuts in the extreme upper position.

e// Catch Posts:: :
Using a 12 mm heavy duty masonry drill bit in a suitable percussion drill, drill through the
four base plate holes to a depth of 170mm taking care to keep the hole free from
excessive dust. The M12 mm x 150 long expansion bolts can now be hammered into
the prepared holes, keeping the nuts in the extreme upper position. Tighten down all
foundation bolts
Barrier Leaf:
Suspend the barrier in a vertical attitude from the crane, or forklift truck, and lower the
barrier into position locating the hinge pins into their hinges.
Once the barrier has been suspended on its hinges, it is necessary to check it for being
horizontal by using a spirit level on the top rail.
Any corrections can be carried out at this
stage, both in the open and closed position by careful adjustments to the packing under
the support post base plate, or adjusting the rod eye hinge bearings.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ensure that the barrier is safely supported whilst this is being carried out. Once
satisfied that the barrier is hanging correctly, float self-levelling grouting material
under the base plate and finally backfill the foundation cavity with concrete to the
finished road or footpath level as required. If felt desirable, the concrete can be left
50mm below finished level and topped with tarmac or similar to match existing
surface.
