Installation Guide
Installing the AluGate Floods Barrier involves carefully positioning and assembling the modular units to ensure reliable and effective flood protection.
How to install the AluGate Barrier
Both models follow the same installation principle. However, before installing the wall mounted barrier, determine whether you want to place the posts inside the opening or outside of it. For optimal installation and use of the AluGate, always refer to the user manual for detailed instructions and guidelines.
Installation Alugate W Model
W Post installation
- Ensure that the outside rubber seals are facing the wall where the post will be installed, and that the U-channel opening is directed toward the opening, ready to receive a plank.
- Use a hammer drill to create holes for the included expanding wall anchors.
- Insert and expand the anchors to secure the posts to the wall.
- Ensure the anchors are inserted into a solid concrete, cinderblock, or cement wall for optimal system stability.
Connection of units
- Loosen the tightening bolts and the top locking bracket.
- Ensure that the planks are positioned with the rubber seal facing downwards.
- Continue to insert planks until all the planks are in position, ready for tightening.
- Note: The plank with the the reflective warning tape should be inserted as the last one on top.
Connecting and Locking
- Use the included Allen wrench to tighten flood planks into position and against the internal rubber seals.
- Insert the top locking clamps into the post top slot. Use the Allen wrench to tighten down the clamps and to apply pressure to flood planks below, enhancing the seal between slats.
- Use the tightening bolts on the posts to tighten down the planks within the U-channel and to ensure a seal with the neoprene strips within the channel.
Disassembly
Loosen top locking clamps and tightning bolts and remove planks in the reverse order. Clean off any debris, dry and store away.
Installation Alugate G Model
G Post installation
Prepare and cast a foundation according to the required specifications to ensure stability and load-bearing capacity.
Securely install the base plate onto the foundation to provide a solid anchor for the rest of the structure.
Insert and secure the post into the designated slot on the base plate.
Insertion of planks
- Ensure that the planks are positioned with the rubber seal facing downwards.
- Continue to insert planks until all the planks are in position, ready for tightening.
- Note: The plank with the the reflective warning tape should be inserted as the last one on top.
Tightning and Locking
- Insert the top locking clamps into the post top slot. Tighten down the clamps and to apply pressure to flood planks below, enhancing the seal between slats.
Disassembly
Loosen top locking clamps and tightning bolts and remove planks in the reverse order. Clean off any debris, dry and store away. If desired, the posts can be detached at the base plate, and the bolt holes securely sealed.
Note: *small model variations but principle remains the same.
*The required mounting tolerances for anchor plates depend on the height of the center posts. Taller posts are more sensitive to any inclination of the anchor plate, which can impact the alignment at the top of the post. Please refer to technical information before installation.
