6.0 FLEXFENCE WRSB MAINTENANCE
Flexfence WRSB is a very low maintenance roadside safety
barrier. Except for repairs due to impacts, there is virtually
no maintenance required for the system. It is recommended
that regular drive-by inspections be performed to ensure the
following;
1. Post caps have not dislodged. Delineation stickers are
attached to the post caps as a loss of numerous caps
could result in poor delineation.
2. Debris has not accumulated around the system. A clear
zone, free of hazards should exist immediately behind
the fence to accommodate for the expected dynamic
defl ection.
3. Safety check ropes should be secured to the anchor
bracket.
4. Ropes have not dislodged from the posts as a result of
minor impacts.
7.0 FLEXFENCE WRSB REPAIR
In the event of an impact, the following procedures should
be carried out;
1. At the location of the damaged posts, the ropes will be
required to be lifted. This can be done by hand without
machinery or tools. Damaged posts are removed from
the footings.
2. Replacement posts are reinserted into the concrete
footings and ground covers are attached.
3. Ropes are lowered back into position ensuring that
spacers and caps are fi tted correctly.
4. Concrete footings should be inspected to ensure they
are intact and cables inspected for signs of structural
damage.
5. The fence should be thoroughly inspected using the
Installation Checklist as a guide.
