Over the last25 years
18、the Department of Transport, the Transport Research Laboratory, British Standards Institution and other organizations have been involved in research, testing, design and the preparation of specifications and standards for vehicle restraint systems such as safety fences, barriers and bridge parapets.
19、 Much of this work has been published in the form of Transport Research Laboratory reports, drawings, specifications and standards. Over recent years, particularly since the introduction of quality assurance schemes for both the manufacture of components and the erection of safety fences and parapet
20、s, the need for additional advice, guidance and background information has been highlighted. In1988 the Department of Transport and British Standards Institution agreed to the preparation of a comprehensive British Standard or Reference Manual on vehicle restraint systems. A steering group of repres
21、entatives from the British Standards Institution, Department of Transport and Transport Research Laboratory was formed to supervise the project and the following terms of reference were formulated: “To prepare the draft of a comprehensive document on safety fences, barriers and bridge parapets cover
22、ing research and development, design, specification, manufacture, installation, repair and maintenance.” It was decided to split the Reference Manual into several Parts and the following groups were formed: a) Working Group 1 Part 1 (in preparation), dealing with the fundamentals of safety fences, b
23、arriers, parapets and transitions b) Working Group 2 Part 2 (in preparation), dealing with the specification and layout of safety fences and barriers c) Working Group 3 Part 3, dealing with the installation, inspection and repair of safety fences d) Working Group 3 Part 4 (in preparation), dealing w
24、ith the installation, inspection and repair of safety barriers e) Working Group 4 Part 5 (future work), dealing with all aspects of bridge parapets A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct
25、application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i to iv, pages1to 76, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright d
26、ate) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.iv blankBS7669-3:1994 BSI 04-1999 1 Section 1.

30、3 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS7669 the definitions given in the following Parts of BS6579 apply: BS6579-1:1988, BS6579-3:1988, BS6579-4:1990, BS6579-5:1986, BS6579-6:1988, and BS6579-7:1989. 1.4 Health and safety 1.4.1 The investigation and implementation of safety fence projects,
31、 including inspection and repair works, require personnel to work on the highway. All personnel including those dealing with the design and supervision functions should seek to ensure that safe working practices can be achieved and adopted at all times. No operation should cause danger to employer,
32、employee, contractor, subcontractor or any member of the public. Inconvenience should be kept to the minimum by careful preplanning of the works. The contractor should ensure that the Engineer is provided with the name of the contractors nominated representative who will have site management respons
33、ibility for the safety fence work. 1.4.2 Publications available on safety include: a) Health and Safety at Work etc. Act19741; b) Traffic Signs Manual Chapter8, specifically, Traffic Safety Measures and Signs for Roadworks and Temporary Situations 2; c) Safety at Roadworks, Notes for Guidance 3; d)
34、Planning for Safety Guidance Notes for the Health and Safety of Workers at In-service Motorway Roadworks Sites 4; e) Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations,1988, as amended by SI1990 No.2026,19905; f) Construction (Lifting Operations) Regulations19616; g) Construction (General Provisi
35、ons) Regulations19617. 1.4.3 The Engineer, contractor and employer responsible for the project should ensure compliance with the above guidance/manuals whereby problems can be minimized by consideration of items such as: a) interference with the public utility apparatus or other underground services
36、 national/local Highway Authority and Utilities Committee (HAUC) arrangements; b) implementation of health and safety manuals protective clothing, head, limb, lungand eye protection, safe working practices (including materials); c) the general needs of the public clear signing, maintenance of traffi
37、c flow, protection of workers and night/weekend working; d) arrangements made for dealing with emergencies contact with local emergency services. 1.5 Dealing with services Before any work is commenced or marking pins are driven through the highway surface, details of all underground services and equ
38、ipment should be obtained and shown on the working drawings. Where necessary, services may need to be diverted by the appropriate authority to accommodate the agreed safety fence layout. In all cases, the service authority should mark out the position of their services on the ground using the agreed
39、 HAUC colour code system, prior to any safety fence work commencing. 1.6 Setting out Before safety fence erection work commences, the engineer should agree the setting out for: a) terminal sections/flares; b) straight and curved safety fences; c) the type of safety fence, including post and foundati
40、ons (and antiglare screen fencing fixings, if specified) in relation to all locations;BS7669-3:1994 2 BSI 04-1999 d) the location of tensioner assemblies, adjuster assemblies, expansion assemblies and expansion joints; e) the location of reinforcement (preferably utilizing a cover meter) and waterpr
41、oofing materials where surface-mounted posts are to be installed; f) the beam/rope height (seeFigure 1). The engineer should also ensure that posts do not coincide with underground chambers, services, manhole covers etc., especially where post spacing is at half standard centres. 1.7 Achievement of
42、torque and tension values Torque should be measured with a calibrated torque wrench in accordance with BS6703:1988. Tension in a wire rope should be measured with a calibrated rope tension indicator. COMMENTARY. Instruments should be calibrated at least annually.BS 7669-3:1994 BSI 04-1999 3 *NOTEIn

44、ted beam (Figure 2) 2.1.1.1 Mark out a) Mark out a datum and establish the set-back. COMMENTARY. On finished wearing course, for example. Alternatively the datum could be a bridge parapet, etc. b) Mark out connection between types of safety fence. c) Mark out flared ends. d) Mark out anchorages. COM
45、MENTARY. This should be done relative to bridge parapet, direction of safety fence or expansion joint anchorage. e) Mark out types of posts. 2.1.1.2 For driven posts a) Establish post centre referenced from the datum. COMMENTARY. Where a non-standard beam is authorized, post centre should be confirm
46、ed with the Engineer. b) Establish height datum. c) Ensure that post is the correct type. d) Ensure that the radiused edge of post faces oncoming traffic. COMMENTARY. Line of beams may be laid out along the setting out line as a guide for the post-driving rig provided care is taken to avoid damage t
47、o the beams. e) Drive post to specified height. COMMENTARY. One method of achieving this is by sighting onto a traveller. 2.1.1.3 Concrete foundations a) Establish post centre referenced from the datum and excavate foundation. Dispose of excess arisings. COMMENTARY. Ensure that the drawing and the s
48、pecification for type of foundation are as prescribed by the client and confirm whether post is to be placed into a galvanized socket. b) Place concrete, vibrate and compact. c) Ensure that post is the correct type. d) Ensure that radiused edge of post faces oncoming traffic. e) Set post and/or sock
49、et and reinforcing ring in wet concrete to the specified height, set-back and post centre. COMMENTARY. Ensure that post and/or socket and reinforcing ring remain in the correct position. f) Recompact concrete. Slope concrete away from post/socket to prevent formation of corrosion pockets. Finish to level and cure. g) Install post in socket and fill void with a non-setting passive filler to a level slightly above the top of the socket. 2.1.1.4 Filter drain
