8. Will the barrier be used in a climate where the water ballast may freeze? The
performance of the barrier is not degraded if the water ballast freezes. However,
provisions should be made to handle the full weight of the barrier if this occurs. See
Other Design considerations section of Triton Barrier
®
Product Description Manual for
more information.
Preparation
Begin preparing for the assembly by reviewing the specified barrier location, layout, and
orientation. Determine the number of sections needed (See Length of Need section of the Triton
Barrier
®
Product Description Manual for more information). (When connected the pin to pin
distance of each section is approximately 2m [78”] long).
Caution:
The minimum assembly length is 30 sections for TL-3 (100 km/h [62
mph]), and 15 sections for TL-2 (70 km/h [43 mph]).
Conduct a parts inventory check to make sure all the necessary components are available
before proceeding to the site. Visually check the sections for damage to ensure that they will
hold water.
Recommended Tools and Equipment
For a typical assembly the recommended tools and equipment are:
• Triton Barrier ® Manual
• Application and/or traffic control plan (as required)
• Traffic control equipment (as required)
• Triton Barrier
®
components
• Transport truck
•
Water truck w/pump*
•
Sledge hammer

∗
A pump with 950-1135 liter/min. [250-300 GPM] output and a 75 mm [3”] dia. minimum x
15-30m [50-100’] long hose with a shutoff control has been shown to be efficient. Time
to fill one barrier is approximately 30 seconds.
Note:
The above list of tools is a general recommendation. Depending on specific site
conditions and the complexity of the assembly specified by the appropriate highway
authority, additional or fewer tools may be required. Decisions as to what tools are
needed to perform the job are entirely within the discretion of the specifying highway
authority and the authority’s selected contractor performing the assembly of the system
at the authority’s specified site.
