Lab Trench-Drain Repair, Wellsboro PA

Amendment 0002 to 140G0118Q0268

The purpose of this amendment is to answer a question.

1. Question: Regarding the angle-iron currently embedded in the concrete to support grate covers, is it acceptable to anchor this angle-iron into the existing concrete from the outside of the angle-iron with an anchor manufactured by FASTNAIL/RAMSET/BORDER CONCRETE or equal? Or, must the floor to be cut back and replaced with new material and angle-iron fabricated/welded as in the example?

Answer: It will require the floor to be cut, new material set in place flush to the existing concrete, then new concrete material poured in place; much of the existing concrete in these areas does not have the strength to support anchors or new material.
