About this file
This document is an installation instruction manual provided by RubberForm Recycled Products, LLC for the proper installation of speed cushions, which may be relevant to traffic control measures required under the City of Sandy Springs' FY26 LMIG Resurfacing Project in Georgia. The manual details a comprehensive 13-step installation process that includes site preparation, panel assembly, drilling, anchoring, and finishing. The instructions specify required tools such as a hammer-drill, shop vacuum, two-part epoxy caulk dispenser, impact driver, and masonry drill bits, along with guidance on proper measurement, layout, and coordination with local traffic control engineers to ensure correct placement and structural integrity of the speed cushion assemblies.
The installation process emphasizes critical quality control measures, including thorough cleaning of installation areas, precise drilling to a depth of 4¾ inches, proper application of two-part epoxy mortar, and careful torquing of bolts to prevent damage to anchors or cushion distortion. The manual includes specific cautions against over-tightening fasteners and excessive force during installation, and requires that all supplied connecting devices be installed to maintain structural integrity. While the document does not specify pricing, quantities needed for the Sandy Springs project, or contract terms, it provides the technical specifications and procedures that would be necessary for contractors bidding on or executing road safety improvements as part of the larger resurfacing contract involving approximately 22.35 miles of roadway milling and asphalt paving.

Speed Cushion/Table Installation Guide
1 Before any work is performed, make sure that you consult your local traffic control engineer to review the project drawings so you may obtain the correct measurements as well as ascertain the proper placement of the speed cushion!
Correct installation of the connecting devices. ALL supplied connecting devices MUST be installed as these are vital in maintaining the structural integrity of the cushion assembly! (This install utilized twenty four)
First, thoroughly clean the installation area utilizing compressed air ,leaf-blower, or shop vacuum. Then measure and lay out all sections to be installed according to the placement instructions and drawings.
5 Continue adding panels by lining up your next one and pressing down firmly, in order to make sure sections are fully flush with each other as shown. Perform this step for each additional panel.
Remember! All supplied
Connecting devices MUST be installed!
6 Once the speed cushion has been completely assembled, mark the entire perimeter of the cushion assembly with your yellow marking device.
Should the cushion assembly shift, you will be able to move it back into the proper position.
Installation Steps:
Utilizing a hammer drill, proceed to drill down through all holes in the cushion to the mark on the bit.
(Example: This cushion assembly has a total of forty holes)
Begin by lifting up each panel, inserting a connecting device into each slot as shown.
3.1
Utilizing the connecting devices, assemble each additional panel as shown for the remainder of the cushion assembly.
Make a depth mark of 4 3/4” on your 5/8” masonry drill bit to achieve a uniform depth for every hole.
This depth accommodates the thickness of the cushion from the reses and the length of the anchor.

8 Once all holes have been drilled, clean out every hole utilizing a shop vacuum or compressed air.
NOTE: This is critical for the application of the Two-Part
Epoxy Mortar as well as the installation of the anchors.
9 Utilizing the two-part applicator, apply a generous amount of the two-part epoxy mortar into every hole in the cushion assembly as shown in the photo to the right

Insert one bolt/washer/anchor assembly into every hole in the cushion and push it down as far as possible. Then utilizing a rubber hammer, gently tap the assembly down until it stops. Repeat this step for every hole in the cushion.
Caution: Do Not use excessive force when tapping these down as this will damage the anchors!
Hand-thread each lag-bolt into the holes first to make sure all holes are aligned properly and to prevent cross-threading and damage to the anchors!
12 Using your 1/2” Impact driver with a 3/4” socket, torque each bolt/washer assembly down flush so that the washer rests on the counter sink as shown in the picture to the right.
Do Not over tighten the lag bolts as this will damage the anchor and potentially distort the cushion.
Finally, install the bolt pro-tection caps into each hole.
Using your rubber hammer, tap each one down making sure they are all flush with the surface of the cushion assembly as shown.
Repeat this step for every hole.
Now step back and admire your new, durable
