EXECUTION
3.1
INSTALLATION
Installation shall be in accordance with manufacturers instructions and in
the presence of a representative of the manufacturer. Manufacturer's
representative shall be experienced in the installation, adjustment, and
operation of the equipment provided. The representative shall also be
present during adjustment and testing of the equipment.
3.2
HYDRAULIC LINES
Buried hydraulic lines shall be placed in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sleeves.
Positive drainage shall be provided from the hydraulic power unit to the
barrier for drainage of condensation within the PVC sleeve.
3.3
PIT DRAINAGE
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Edit this paragraph for drainage
requirements. If soil characteristic and/or climate
dictates another solution, then this should be
considered and edited into this paragraph. Provide
self-priming sump pump with capacity and power
requirements if one is required. Delete this
paragraph if pit/vault type construction is not
required. Federal and/or State requirements may
require an oil/water separator be installed in the
pit drainage to ensure capture of any hydraulic
fluid that may leak out of the system.
**************************************************************************
A drain connection [and oil/water separator] shall be provided in each
barrier that requires pit/vault type construction. Hookups between the
storm drains shall be made. [The self-priming sump pump shall have the
capacity to remove [_____] cubic meters per second gallons per minute.]
3.4
ELECTRICAL
All control power wiring requiring compression terminals shall use
ring-style terminals. Terminals and compression tools shall conform to UL
486A-486B. Roundhead screws and lockwashers shall be used to provide
vibration-resistant connections. Connections between any printed circuit
cards and the chassis shall be made with screw connections or other locking
means to prevent shock or vibration separation of the card from its
chassis. The electrical power supply breaker for the hydraulic power unit
shall be capable of being locked in the power on and power off positions.
3.5
FIELD TESTING
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Edit paragraph accordingly for hydraulic or
manual vehicle barrier.
**************************************************************************
Upon completion of construction, a field test shall be performed for each
