PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.0 FABRICATION

A. The post/rail connection for guards is to be fabricated such that the rails are unbroken and continuous through the post without the use of packs or splices. The bottom rail is to be installed through the post at a prepared hole made to fit the outside dimensions of the rail. The top rail is to fit into a machined, u-shaped pocket formed into top of the post such that the rail is located at the center of the post. All exposed post corners are to be radiused to eliminate sharp edges. The rails are to be joined to the post through a combination of bonding and riveting. The offset handrail is to be fabricated such that the rail is continuous with the use of connectors and splices. No sharp, protruding edges are to remain after assembly of the railing system. Spacing of the posts and offset handrail supports shall not exceed 6'-0" (1.83 m).

B. The bases of the posts are to be attached according to the contract drawings. The bases of the posts are to be reinforced to a height of 8.5" (254 mm). The offset handrails are to be attached to guards or walls with brackets.

C. When required, rails for guards are to be spliced using a 10" (152.4 mm) length of 1.5" x 1/8" (38.1 mm x 3.2 mm) FRP square tube bonded and riveted into place using epoxy adhesive. Rail for offset handrail to be spliced using a 5” (127 mm) length of 1” (25.4 mm) FRP round rod.

D. To avoid embrittlement at cold temperatures and loss of strength at high temperatures, no PVC or CPVC connectors should not be used as a load carrying component of the railing system.

E. All shop fabricated cuts are to be sealed to provide maximum corrosion resistance. Field cuts are to be similarly coated by the contractor in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
