Maintenance and Repair
To Remove Pin
1. Pry pin up while pushing cable loops down.
2. Once pin is up approximately 100 to 125 mm [4” to 5”], the pin can be twisted to remove.
Proper maintenance of Triton Barrier
®
is essential to achieve performance of the system
under appropriate federal and state guidelines. Take the time to review the product
limitations, assembly cautions, and maintenance instructions before performing the
necessary work. Do not attempt to deploy any longitudinal barrier without the proper plans
for deployment.
The time interval between maintenance inspections depends a great deal upon particular
site conditions. Frequent inspections are recommended until longer inspection intervals
become justified.
Visual Drive by Inspection
A slow drive-by visual inspection of Triton Barrier
®
is often all that is required. Some special
inspection considerations are:
1.
Are the sections full of water ballast? The sections must be adequately filled for proper
impact performance. Look to see that the fill level indicators are visible above the top of
each section. A walk- up inspection of the assembly is required if the fi ll indicators are not
visible (see Walk- Up Inspection section). Be sure fill indicator caps used for shipping
have been removed.
2. Are the sections properly aligned? The deployment must be aligned according to the
plans for the site. Misaligned sections in the middle of an assembly may be an indication
that the barrier has been hit and potentially damaged. If any sections are misaligned,
carry out a walk-up inspection.
Walk-up Inspection
If the drive-by visual inspection indicates maintenance is required, then a walk-up inspection
is necessary. Some of the most common maintenance concerns and corresponding repair
techniques are:
Empty Sections
Sections with water levels below 100 mm [4"] from the top must be refilled for proper Triton

performance. Sections with very low water levels or those that consistently need
filling should be thoroughly inspected for leaks while full. If leaks are found, the section
should be replaced (See Damaged Sections). A certain amount of water loss may occur due
to evaporation depending on the environment.
Damaged Sections
Generally sections are usable if they remain full of water and properly connected to other
sections. Occasionally, sections may become damaged from impact or puncture and must
be replaced. Sections with minor damage or leaks may often be repaired using sealants or
plastic welding methods. (See Triton Barrier
®
Patching.) Empty the water from the sections
immediately surrounding the damaged section(s). Remove the pins holding the damaged
section(s) and slide the section(s) sideways until enough gap opens up in the assembly for
removal. New sections are replaced by reversing this process. Take care to work in a
direction away from traffic and to properly line up the deployment when replacement is
complete (See Misaligned Sections on Page 21).
