Page 3: Application Guide
BarrierGuard 800 is a versatile longitudinal steel barrier that has many uses and is quick and easy to install. BarrierGuard 800 is normally made up of two 6m barrier sections that are pre assembled by being bolted together to form a 12m length with the QuickLink linking system at either end. -
Page 4: Limitations And Warnings
The system should be delineated in accordance with road controlling authority requirements. The BarrierGuard 800 needs to be installed on a firm surface that prevents the system from becoming embedded in the surface over long periods of time. Debris and foreign objects should not be in the clear zone. -
Page 5: System Design Considerations
Curbs BarrierGuard 800 can be installed to a surface which is raised by a curb of no more than 100mm high. If the barrier is installed next to the curb you must ensure that the curb is out of the clear zone and does not prevent the barrier deflecting as intended. - Page 6 10 of this manual. Clear Zone When anchored at both ends BarrierGuard 800 requires a clear zone of 1.5m behind to allow the system to perform correctly. When anchored every 12m the deflection is reduced 0.92m.

Page 13: Crash Cushions
If it is not possible to locate the terminal ends outside the Clear Zone, then an approved end termination (such as a crash cushion) can be fitted to the BarrierGuard 800. Any crash cushion will have its own anchoring specifications and assembly instructions. Any connection between BarrierGuard 800 and the approved end termination will be designed and supplied by either CSP Pacific or the approved end termination supplier. -

4 No. M24 x 50mm bolts, nuts and washers, and on to this L plate the intermediate anchor can be fixed. Once either of the intermediate anchors have been fixed to the BarrierGuard 800, position the barrier in the usual way. After installation, drill through the intermediate anchor using the holes as templates and secure by the specified method (asphalt pins, mechanical anchor bolts or resin anchors according to pavement surface). -
Page 22: Drilling For Anchors
If the BarrierGuard 800 still won’t sit flush, unhook the leg of the chain nearest the joint being made, bring the other chain leg vertical and lift and lower on this leg. The last option is to lift the last installed section of BarrierGuard 800, place a timber bearer under the male end and lower the BarrierGuard 800 onto this timber bearer. -
Page 23: Maintenance & Repair
BarrierGuard 800 is used again. As BarrierGuard 800 is predominantly used for road work situations it is very easy to check the condition of the installed barrier as there is usually personnel driving through the site, and also as the barrier is usually only installed for medium or short term it can be regularly inspected as it is returned to storage and again inspected as it is dispatched to the next job site. - Page 24 Do not use any sections of barrier that show signs of significant thinning of the barrier skin caused by corrosion. For any further information or advice on levels or extent of damage please contact CSP Pacific on 0800 655200 or email cspcustomerservice@csppacific.co.nz...

Product & Installation Manual : BarrierGuard 800 Removal This is a reversal of the installation procedure. Bolts can be unscrewed but will be tight for the full length of the thread due to the cone nut being squeezed onto the bolt. -
Page 26: Special Operations
Product & Installation Manual : BarrierGuard 800 Special Operations Curved Barrier In many cases, the barrier may have to follow a curve. There are a number of options depending on the curve. These are described below followed by a table of curvatures that can be achieved and methods of estimating the curvature. -
Page 27: Diagrams Of Offset
It is sometimes required that the ends of the barrier are angled away from the traffic flow. This can be achieved by utilising the movement in the QuickLinks to curve the BarrierGuard 800 layout to create a flare away from the traffic lane. -
Page 28: Expansion Joints
BarrierGuard 800. If the barrier is anchored either side of a bridge i.e. not on the bridge structure but into the ground either side of the structure then there is no need for expansion joints in the BarrierGuard 800. -
Page 29: External Anchor Shoe Connection
The External Anchor Shoe can be preinstalled into the BarrierGuard 800 or anchored to the ground and then BarrierGuard 800 placed on top of it and connected in the same way as the Internal anchor shoe (see Inner Anchor Shoe section). -
Page 30: Inner Anchor Shoe Connection
Product & Installation Manual : BarrierGuard 800 Inner Anchor Shoe Connection The Inner Anchor Shoe is connected to the BarrierGuard 800 by first opening the inspection hatch located on the side of the unit. Any excess longitudinal slack in the anchorage is taken up by inserting the required number of shims. -
