517 Railings

Steel and Iron Railings (517.05)

Documentation Requirements – 517 Railings

 

The anchor bolts should be cast into the structure versus drilled and grouted into place after concrete placement.  This will alleviate drilling into the epoxy coated reinforcing steel.  Hold anchor bolts in place with the use of a template.  When the anchors are cast into the concrete the threads should be protected from getting filled with concrete paste.

Failure to release falsework prior to installing railings could cause the railings to deform as the structure experiences the additional dead load deflections associated with the falsework release.

Any preformed PVC fillers or paint coatings used should be listed on the Qualified Product Lists (QPL) for items 711.28 and 708 respectively.
