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.
