WHEEL STOP INSTALLATION
A.
3.5
3.6
Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and in proper relationship with
adjacent construction.
Install rubber wheel stops in accordance with manufacturer's written installation instructions.
1.
Rebar Spikes or Lag Bolts:
a.
Pre-drill pilot holes through the product's holes to a depth in the pavement
recommended by manufacturer.
b.
Securely attach each wheel stop to pavement with not less than five rebar
spikes or lag bolts, embedded in holes cast into wheel stops.
c.
Recess cap of spikes and bolts, so that top of cap is flush with top of wheel
stop.
2.
Adhesive: Use only where drilling into pavement is prohibited.
a.
Sand bottom of wheel stop to remove release agents.
b.
Remove dirt, grease, oil, tar, wax, rust, sealer, loose matter, and other
substance that may inhibit adhesive's performance.
c.
Ensure that all joint surfaces are clean, dry, and free of contamination and
incompatible substances.
d.
Adhere wheel stop to traffic bearing membrane coating placed on concrete with
adhesive in accordance with manufacturer's installation instructions. Reposition
and adjust wheel stop within one hour of adhesive application. Allow adhesive
to cure undisturbed for four hours minimum.
SPEED BUMP - SPEED HUMP DEVICE INSTALLATION
A.
Install Speed Bump Devices transversely across traffic lanes, at locations indicated on the
drawings.
1.
Provide breaks through speed bumps where necessary to allow pavement drainage.
Form breaks as un-raised paths or channels with tapered sides.
2.
Use manufacturer's mounting hardware appropriate for the pavement types, together
with adhesive for an installation that will withstand anticipated traffic.
3.
Install metal dowel to lock sections together before fastening in place.
4.
Install separate caps where necessary to cover each exposed speed bump end.
B.
Asphalt Pavement Installations:
1.
Drill 1/2 inch (12 mm) diameter holes 3 to 4 inches (75 to 100 mm) in depth in the
asphalt through the product's holes.
2.
Drive the 1/2 inch (12 mm) diameter rebar spike to full depth, leaving no metal
protruding above the top of the speed bump.
3.
Insert rubber caps where noted and provided by manufacturer.
C.
Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Installations:
1.
Position the Speed Bump at the final location.
2.
Drill 1/2 inch (12 mm) diameter pilot holes (3 to 4 inches (75 to 100 mm) in depth
through the product's installation holes.
3.
Remove the product; re-drill the holes in the concrete for the diameter and depth
required by the metal shields.
4.
Install the metal shields, re-position the product and bolt with lag bolts.
5.
Install 1/2 inch (12 mm) lag bolts, 5-1/2 inches (137 mm) long, into the metal
expansion shield.

measurement from the bottom of the sign to the near edge of the pavement.
02840-8
3.7
3.8
B.
Install Traffic Control Signs at right angles to the direction of traffic and facing the traffic that
they are intended to serve.
C.
Install warning signs at the end of each speed bump, positioned to be visible from both
directions.
ROAD RAMPS INSTALLATION
A.
Make sure that the pavement surface for mounting the road ramp sections is flat and clean.
Pieces of scrap 1/2 inch (13 mm) rubber belting may be used to level the mounting surface
where needed. Shimming at the 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) thick end of the ramp with a length of
scrap 1/2 inch (13 mm) rubber belting provides for a 2 inches (51 mm) transition.
B.
Fasten road ramp sections to the pavement with the Torx head screws. Install ten screws in
each wide ramp section and five screws in each narrow ramp section in the recommended
pattern. Screws are not required in every guide hole molded into the ramps. In very heavy
traffic conditions, consider using longer screws and additional screws near the thin edge of
the ramps. Consult manufacturer's instructions regarding selecting required fasteners per
base material.
C.
Where road ramp sections are in place for more than one to three days, periodically check
the installation to assure that no screws have loosened up. Check the ramp after one day's
traffic to confirm proper installation.
RUBBER CURBS INSTALLATION
A.
3.9
Rubber Curb modules are linked and aligned using metal dowels. They are then anchored to
the pavement using stainless steel lag bolts with stainless steel washers fastened into heavy
duty pavement anchors that are inserted into holes in the pavement. The holes are then
filled with rubber caps to cover the bolt heads.
SPILL CONTAINMENT BERM INSTALLATION ON CONCRETE
A.
Use Lag bolts, washer and shields on berms and ramps. Install five - 8 inches (203 mm)
bolts per berm section, three - 5 inches (127 mm) bolts per ramp section and three - 3
inches (76 mm) RSS Screws per ramp. Position a ramp section at each side of berm
section.
1.
Install berm sections first. After berm has been installed, install ramps onto berm.
When installing ramps, place a bead of adhesive on base edge of ramp before bolting
down ramp section and screwing in RSS screws at junction of berm and ramp
sections.
3.10 PROTECTION
A.
Protect installed products until completion of project.
B.
Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
