Wire Rope Safety Fence Product description Safence 350 4RI
Positioning of fence
Post footing D-036
Concrete footing D-005
Post footings can be prefabricated or cast on site. As an alternative the longer post (D-037) can be used without concrete footing. When the longer post (D-037) is used, the post nearest the anchoring point is provided with a post footing (D-036) that absorbs vertical forces. The fence has been tested in accordance with NCHRP 350, with a distance (L) between posts of 8.2 feet (2.5 m). If the working width is to be reduced, the distance between the posts must also be reduced.
The fence posts are founded as shown in the drawing.

End anchors can be either cast on site or prefabricated. Make sure that anchors are aligned with the fence. The galvanised anchor box embedded in the concrete is to lie at ground level, be placed horizontally at the side of the road and follow the slope of the road longitudinally. Backfilling around end anchors is to be done with gravel, which is then vibrated.
Plastic cap (D-003)
Wire rope installation For end posts, steel rope spacers are used (D-022).

Tensioning
1. Tension the wire ropes with nuts at both the end anchors. 2. Tension the wire ropes to the correct tensioning force at each rigging screw (see table). Start in the middle of the section and work alternately towards each respective anchoring. If the length of the rigging screws is not sufficient to reach the correct tensioning force, tighten them to half the length of the rigging screw. Then readjust them so that all the rigging screws have the correct tensioning force.

Radii Horizontal curvature The fence shall follow the road curvature without any visible break in its alignment in either the horizontal or the vertical axes. Normally, the radius of the road should not be less than 650 feet. If a smaller radius is required, the distance between the posts shall be reduced in accordance with the table below: Radius (ft) 650 500 325
