3.3 POST INSTALLATION

3.3.1 Posts for Deer Fence

Posts must be set plumb and in alignment. Except where solid rock is encountered, posts must be set in concrete to the depth indicated on the drawings. Where solid rock is encountered with no overburden, posts must be set to a minimum depth of 18 inches in rock. Where solid rock is covered with an overburden of soil or loose rock, posts must be set to the minimum depth indicated on the drawing unless a penetration of 18 inches in solid rock is achieved before reaching the indicated depth, in which case depth of penetration must terminate. All portions of posts set in rock must be grouted. Portions of posts not set in rock must be set in concrete from the rock to ground level. Posts set in concrete must be set in holes not less than the diameter shown on the drawings. Diameters of holes in solid rock must be at least 1 inch greater than the largest cross section of the post. Concrete and grout must be thoroughly consolidated around each post, must be free of voids and finished to form a dome. Concrete and grout must be allowed to cure for 72 hours prior to attachment of any item to the posts. Group II line posts may be mechanically driven, for temporary fence construction only, if rock is not encountered. Driven posts must be set to a minimum depth of 3 feet and must be protected with drive caps when being set. For high security fences, fence post rigidity must be tested by applying a 50 pound force on the post, perpendicular to the fabric, at 5 feet above ground; post movement measured at the point where the force is applied must be less than or equal to 3/4 inch from the relaxed position; every tenth post must be tested for rigidity; when a post fails this test, further tests on the next four posts on either side of the failed post must be made; all failed posts must be removed, replaced, and retested at the Contractor's expense.

3.4 BRACES AND TRUSS RODS

Braces and truss rods must be installed as indicated and in conformance with the standard practice for the fence furnished. Horizontal (compression) braces and diagonal truss (tension) rods must be installed on fences over 6 feet in height. A center brace or 2 diagonal truss rods must be installed on 12-foot fences. Braces and truss rods must extend from terminal posts to line posts. Diagonal braces must form an angle of approximately 40 to 50 degrees with the horizontal. No bracing is required on fences 6 feet high or less.

3.5 DEER FENCE FABRIC

Deer fence fabric must be installed on the side of the post indicated.

Fabric must be attached to terminal posts with wire fabric connections using 12.5 gauge post clips. The fabric must be installed and pulled taut to provide a smooth and uniform appearance free from sag, without permanently distorting the fabric square or reducing the fabric height.

Fabric must be fastened to line posts at approximately 15 inch intervals and fastened to all rails and tension wires at approximately 12 inch intervals. Fabric must be cut by untwisting and removing pickets.

Splicing must be accomplished by weaving a single picket into the ends of the rolls to be joined. The bottom of the installed fabric must be 1 plus or minus 1/2 inch above the ground. For high security fence, after the fabric installation is complete, the fabric must be exercised by applying a 50 pound push-pull force at the center of the fabric between posts; the use of a 30 pound pull at the center of the panel must cause fabric deflection of not more than 2-1/2 inches when pulling fabric from the post side of the

02 82 10 - 5 fence; every second fence panel must meet this requirement; all failed panels must be resecured and retested at the Contractor's expense.

3.6 GATE INSTALLATION

Gates must be installed at the locations shown. Hinged gates must be mounted to swing as indicated. Latches, stops, and keepers must be installed as required. Slide gates must be installed as recommended by the manufacturer. Padlocks must be attached to gates or gate posts with chains. Hinge pins, and hardware must be welded or otherwise secured to prevent removal. For farm style fencing, standard metal gate assemblies with frame and fittings necessary for complete installation or wood gates must be furnished as shown.

3.7 GROUNDING

Fences must be grounded on each side of all gates, at each corner, at the closest approach to each building located within 50 feet of the fence, and where the fence alignment changes more than 15 degrees. Grounding locations must not exceed 650 feet. Each gate panel must be bonded with a flexible bond strap to its gate post. Fences crossed by powerlines of 600 volts or more must be grounded at or near the point of crossing and at distances not exceeding 150 feet on each side of crossing. Ground conductor must consist of No. 8 AWG solid copper wire. Grounding electrodes must be 3/4 inch by 10 foot long copper-clad steel rod.

Electrodes must be driven into the earth so that the top of the electrode is at least 6 inches below the grade. Where driving is impracticable, electrodes must be buried a minimum of 12 inches deep and radially from the fence. The top of the electrode must be not less than 2 feet or more than 8 feet from the fence. Ground conductor must be clamped to the fence and electrodes with bronze grounding clamps to create electrical continuity between fence posts, fence fabric, and ground rods. After installation the total resistance of fence to ground must not be greater than 25 ohms.
