General
As the barrier is made entirely of aluminium, it requires no maintenance.
Installation is straightforward, so you should be able to do it easily
yourself.
The handrails and posts are joined by very sturdy, precision-fit aluminum-cast
T-connectors; the rails and posts just need to be inserted into the connectors
and secured via the pre-marked boreholes.
Unless the barrier encloses an entire area, the end section is completed by a
90-degree bend 4 .
Assembly
Each foundation should measure 300×300×800 mm, with a distance of 2,500 mm
between the centres.
The posts must be coated with bitumen or epoxy coal tar where they are set
into concrete to prevent corrosion.
Once the posts have been set in concrete, another anti-corrosion coat should
be applied to the section where the aluminium and concrete join.
When setting the posts in concrete, do not use rapid-set additives or anti-
freeze agents, as these can damage the posts.
Fill half of the moist-earth pit with B25 concrete and compress. Then insert
the posts, align them and fill the pits with concrete. Make sure the posts
protrude by 1,100 mm above ground and are 2,500 mm apart (measured from centre
point to centre point). Then allow the concrete to set.
Add the handrails using the T-connectors as shown above and use the 90-degree
bends at each end of the barrier.
Drill the holes as marked out on the T-connectors using a 5.0-mm-diameter
drill, and then secure using three rivets per connector (as shown in figure
above). The 90-degree bends do not require drilling or riveting.
