4.6. COMPLETING SCALE CONSTRUCTION
1. Install the Side check brackets.
2. Adjust all bumper bolts to touch the bumper bolt striker plates. This prevents the
scale platform from moving and maintaining it in the correct position while also
maintaining a plumb condition for the Locator Tools.
3. Lay the coping channel in position at the correct elevation and distance from the
pit wall.
4. Weld together the butt joints of the channel. Make sure that the channel is straight
and that it is welded securely.
5. Weld the transverse (end) coping to the main
girders where they cross.
6. Weld nuts on
the Rock Guard to create a
5/8" gap
.
─ Space at 16-20" intervals.
─ Weld flat steel straps to the bottom of the
Deck Coping as needed, to space it from
the pit wall, and to prevent the frame from
twisting.
─ See Certified Drawing Specifications for
details.
For Illustrative Purposes Only
Once the bridge is completed, install the
Deck Channel flush with the Pit Coping.
