Misaligned Sections
Sections may occasionally become misaligned due to impact or nuisance hits. Generally
600-900 mm [2 to 3'] of lateral misalignment is easily corrected by simply pushing the
sections back into alignment. If the sections are emptied, they can usually be pushed
manually; if they are full, they can be nudged into position with a vehicle, pry bar, or forklift,
being sure to use the forklift ports. Care must be taken to avoid damaging the sections.
Triton Barrier ® Patching Preparation
The area to be patched must be completely dry and free of dirt and grease. Additionally, a
film coats the barrier and should be removed by either lightly sanding the pieces or burning
it off with a small butane torch. Do not damage the plastic by overheating. A few quick
passes are sufficient.
Options:
Plastic Welding
The most reliable means of patching can be accomplished with plastic welding and can
range from "stick" welding to automatic preparation and feed. The temperature, as
measured 6 mm [1/4"] away from the welding torch, should be at 290 deg. C [550 deg. F.]
for the Triton Barrier
®
material. Welding speed for ideal, straight line welds can range from
100 mm - 150 mm [4" to 6"] per minute with stick welding to 600 mm [24"] per minute with
an automatic gun. A plastic welding equipment supplier can offer additional information.
Spin Weld Plugs
Spin Weld plugs give excellent results for patching small holes and leaks in Triton Barriers
®
.
Individuals who will be performing the repairs should read the instructions and practice a few
times before trying to repair Triton Barrier
®
. Practicing the Spin Weld process is important as
this gives the individual a feel for the techniques required to perform a proper weld.
Items necessary for repair:
•
Drill Motor w/7 mm drill bit
• 25,000 rpm Router
• Spin Weld tool
• Spin Weld plugs
• Rasp
1. Drill 7 mm hole at point of leak.
2. Secure the Spin Weld tool onto Router.
3. Place a Spin Weld plug onto the Spin Weld tool.
4. Place plug and router squarely over the hole to be plugged.
5. Turn on router, holding it firmly with light downward pressure. Watch for indications of
melting plastic flowing around the plug. Turn off the router, holding it steady until the
plastic solidifies.
6. Inspect plug to insure that it has bonded to the barrier.
7. Rasp plugged area smooth to finish repair.
