8. Lay the corrugated steel with the corrugations running parallel, down the length of
the pit.
─ The suggested material for the deck form is galvanized corrugated sheet steel
in 26 or 28 gauge thickness.
─ This material has corrugations on a 3 inch spacing (pitch) with a depth of ¾".
─ This material is NOT furnished by Fairbanks.
9. Trim the corrugated steel as required so it will rest on the lower flange of the
frame channels.
10. Cut holes for the Deck Angle
Connectors in the corrugated
steel, so it lays flush.
11. Place the deck reinforcing
steel (rebar) as shown on the
Certified Drawings.
12. Locate the optional manhole
frame(s) and shore in position
so that the cover plate(s) will
be one-eighth inch (1/8”)
above the top of the concrete.
Helpful Tip
To prevent cement from seeping under the manhole, put a 55 gallon trash bag
full with sand into the manhole frame(s) before pouring.
