Directional Flow Plates - Surface Mounted

Surface mounted flow plates are especially suited to areas where excavations cannot be carried out such as in multi storey car parks.

The units are extremely robust being designed for continuous use and have an 8mm thick steel durbar top plate. The entire flow plate is finished in primer then colour coated in high visibility yellow - RAL 1023.

We recommend that signs for warning and to slow traffic to 5mph are included as part of installation. Further features include:

• Optional extra to provide lock down facility to allow temporary two way flow.
• Optional extra to coat with hot dip galvanised finish prior to colour coating.
• Very low maintenance
• Rubber buffers to dampen noise of operation
• Suitable for most road going vehicles including HGVs

The product can be installed by using two methods of fixing a) surface mounted by bolting down with rubber expanding bolts or b) laying a concrete raft and fixing with anker bolts.

Asphalt surface mounting:

The flow plates should be fitted to tarmac surfacces using rubber bolts are that they offer a “dampening” effect when traffic passes over. Rubber fixing plugs have an out side diameter of 22mm and are 75mm in depth, the actual bolt size is an M12 x 100mm.

The fow plate should be laid in desired location, drill hole area should then be marked out. All holes should be drilled prior installation, do not fit the product until all of the surface holes have been drilled out.

Important note: The rubber plugs and fixing bolt should be fitted to the product prior being dropped into location. Once the bolts have been loosely fitted drop the entire unit into the pre-drilled holes, you will save hours of time!

Fitting a concrete raft:

This method should be used if the road surface is in poor condition, is newer than six months old or has a asphalt surface depth of less than 50mm.

A concrete foundation/slab should be laid, reinforcing should not be used. Once the concrete has set the product should be fitted as per the diagram below.
