2.5 FABRICATION, GENERAL

  1. Form exposed work true to line and level with accurate angles and surfaces and straight sharp edges.
  2. Shear and punch metals cleanly and accurately. Remove burrs.
  3. Remove sharp or rough areas on exposed traffic surfaces.
  4. Weld corners and seams continuously to comply with the following:
  5. Use materials and methods that minimize distortion and develop strength and corrosion resistance of base metals.
  6. Obtain fusion without undercut or overlap.
  7. Remove welding flux immediately.
  8. At exposed connections, finish exposed welds and surfaces smooth and blended so that no roughness shows after finishing, and contour of welded surface matches those adjacent.
  9. Form exposed connections with hairline joints, flush and smooth, using concealed fasteners wherever possible. Use exposed fasteners of type indicated or, if not indicated, Phillips flat-head (countersunk) screws or bolts. Locate joints where least conspicuous.
  10. Provide for anchorage of type indicated; coordinate with supporting structure. Fabricate and space anchoring devices to secure metal fabrications rigidly in place and to support indicated loads.
  11. Shop Assembly: Preassemble items in shop to greatest extent possible to minimize field splicing and assembly. Disassemble units only as necessary for shipping and handling limitations. Use connections that maintain structural value of joined pieces. Clearly mark units for reassembly and coordinated installation.
  12. Fabricate joints that will be exposed to weather in a manner to exclude water, or provide weep holes where water may accumulate.

2.6 PIPE BOLLARDS

  1. Fabricate pipe bollards from Schedule 80 steel pipe.
  2. Exterior bollards shall be hot dip galvanized, except fire protection bollards.
  3. Fire Protection bollards shall be painted.
