STEP 6: EXCAVATE THE HOLES
Pier holes for the 20˚ flume anchor supports should be a minimum of 12” long, 24” wide and 24” deep, or
minimum 18” diameter tube.
STEP 7: RESET THE RIVER RUN IN POSITION
Ensure sufficient blocking material is on hand, then utilizing sufficient manpower; lift the assembled slide back into
its correct horizontal and vertical position and block in place.
At this point, the anchor supports should be directly over, centered and within the holes for the piers or tubes,
adjust hole location as necessary at this time. The angle iron cross member will be approximately 4” below final
concrete grade for correct anchor embedment depth. (See Fig. 14) NOTE:
It is essential that the vertical portions
of the anchors are plumb.
With the exception of the exit section landing plate (Fig. 1), make sure that a minimum 3 inch clearance is
maintained between any portion of the underside of the slide (including the flanges) and the substrate. Based on
the slider’s weight and velocity the slide can move slightly both vertically and horizontally. If the slide rubs upon
the substrate due to this motion a wear spot and/or leak can develop.

The above specified sizes for the concrete piers represent a minimum
and should be increased due to local weather, soil conditions,
frost line and/or local building codes. Anchor supports shall be
bonded. Refer to your local building/electrical code requirements.
