Surface Mount Post and Post Retaining System

摘要

A surface mount barrier post has a retaining system to receive the barrier post. The retaining system includes a post retaining element for receiving the post. The retaining element has a substantially vertical hollow steel section having an opening at its lower end on a first side, a steel foot box aligned with the opening and extending in a first direction, and a bottom plate to which the hollow steel section and foot box are attached. A steel front traverse member passes over the steel foot box and lies adjacent the bottom plate perpendicular the first direction. A steel rear traverse member lies adjacent to the vertical hollow steel section on a second side thereof opposite substantially perpendicular to the first direction. A plurality of U-bolts are arranged to pass over the front and rear traverse members on either side of the post retaining element so that, in use, they are received and set into a plurality of holes in a surface on which the barrier post retaining system is mounted. A method of assembling such a post retaining system is disclosed.
