## Industrial pedestrian barrier project references

Sources: QY-IGR-DS-01 and QY-IGR-INS-01, both Rev. 1.0 / 24 Jul 2026. These RFQ and installation references are available in the existing downloads.

**Read the application boundary:** these documents concern non-highway industrial pedestrian separation. They are an additional project-reference option within the guardrail range, not a universal specification for every municipal railing. They do not establish highway crashworthiness, fall-protection, handrail or vehicle-impact ratings. Required capacity must be supported by exact configuration evidence and project review.

### Configuration and intended function

The source diagram illustrates a three-rail arrangement without assigning dimensions or an impact rating. Its intended uses are defining pedestrian routes and equipment exclusion zones, creating a visible maintainable process-area boundary, and accommodating straight runs, corners, returns, gates or removable sections. Choose the actual rail count, profiles, fixing method, corners, access and visibility for the approved project. Engineered impact duty needs project loads and supporting evidence.

### Configuration options



QY-IGR-DS-01 · Rev. 1.0 / 24 Jul 2026 · PDF page 2. Project entries are not assigned product values.

| Feature | Options to define |
|---|---|
| Posts | Steel tube / fabricated steel / FRP profile; base-plated or embedded |
| Rails | 1, 2 or 3 rails; tube/profile size; horizontal spacing |
| Finish | Hot-dip galvanized, powder-coated, duplex or project-specified |
| Corners | Inline, 90°, variable angle or custom return |
| Access | Swing gate, removable rail, lift-out section or no access |
| Visibility | Color, reflective marking and floor interface |



### Project duty and site inputs



QY-IGR-DS-01 · Rev. 1.0 / 24 Jul 2026 · PDF page 3.

| Input | Project entry |
|---|---|
| Protected people / asset | \[project entry\] |
| Vehicle / equipment type | \[project entry\] |
| Mass, speed and approach angle | \[project entry\] |
| Required design load or test level | \[project entry\] |
| Barrier height / rail count | \[project entry\] |
| Post spacing / run geometry | \[project entry\] |

The anchor interface needs design actions, concrete cracked/uncracked condition, edge distance, spacing, embedment, base-plate stiffness and an approved anchor product. Torque alone does not prove anchor capacity. State impact energy, deflection or load capacity only with traceable tests or calculations for the exact configuration, load case and boundary conditions accepted by the responsible designer.

### Required submittals



QY-IGR-DS-01 · Rev. 1.0 / 24 Jul 2026 · PDF page 4.

| Submittal | Minimum content |
|---|---|
| General arrangement | Run lengths, corners, gates, clearances and interfaces |
| Fabrication drawing | Profiles, welds, holes, plates, tolerances and part IDs |
| Anchor schedule | Anchor type, approval, diameter, embedment, hole cleaning and torque |
| Material / finish | Grades, certificates, coating system and inspection |
| Design / test evidence | Exact configuration, load case, boundary conditions and acceptance |
| Installation plan | Survey, scanning, exclusion zone, sequence and inspection |
| Handover | As-built drawing, inspection record, maintenance plan and damaged-part rules |



### RFQ release checks

- State the function and excluded uses; complete layout, loads, substrate and environmental data.
- Define exact material, finish, welding and fasteners, with engineered anchor selection.
- Label evidence as tested, calculated, supplier-supported or not yet verified.
- Agree inspection, maintenance and damaged-part replacement rules.

### Record the approval chain



QY-IGR-DS-01 · Rev. 1.0 / 24 Jul 2026 · PDF page 5.

| Approval field | Name / date / reference |
|---|---|
| Prepared by | \[project entry\] |
| Technical review | \[project entry\] |
| Customer/designer approval | \[project entry\] |
| Approved drawing | \[project entry\] |
| Evidence attached | \[project entry\] |



### Installation sequence and stop conditions

Permit and survey → set out → drill and clean → anchor and align → inspect and hand over. Stop for unknown substrate or embedded services, damaged concrete, missing anchor instructions, or a component/drawing mismatch. The guide supplies no universal drill diameter, embedment, torque, impact energy or capacity.

### Responsibilities before work starts



QY-IGR-INS-01 · Rev. 1.0 / 24 Jul 2026 · PDF page 2.

| Role | Minimum responsibility |
|---|---|
| Customer/site | Permit, shutdown, access, floor records, service information and exclusion zone |
| Designer | Loads, layout, substrate acceptance, anchor design and approved drawing |
| Installer | Competent supervision, calibrated tools, drilling controls and inspection records |
| QY / supplier | Correct labeled components, approved submittals and replacement-part identification |



### Safety and concrete-drilling controls

- Complete the task risk assessment, permit and required lockout/isolation.
- Locate embedded electricity, water, gas, post-tensioning and reinforcement before drilling, with competent interpretation of the scan.
- Control respirable crystalline silica under the applicable law and exposure-control plan, using the task-appropriate dust extraction/wet methods, housekeeping and respiratory program.
- Select eye, hearing, hand, foot and respiratory protection from the assessment and SDS. Barricade the work zone and control sparks, trip hazards, dust and overhead work.
- Avoid dry sweeping or compressed-air cleaning that disperses hazardous dust unless permitted by the applicable regulatory control method. Anchor-hole cleaning must still follow the approved anchor manufacturer’s instructions with appropriate dust controls.

For U.S. concrete work, consult OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153. This reference does not replace the employer’s site-specific control plan or the anchor manufacturer’s approved installation instructions.

### Tool and document readiness



QY-IGR-INS-01 · Rev. 1.0 / 24 Jul 2026 · PDF page 3.

| Item | Check |
|---|---|
| Approved drawing and anchor data | Current revision at workface |
| Scanner / locator | Suitable for substrate and interpreted by competent person |
| Drill and bit | Correct type/diameter; dust-control attachment ready |
| Hole-cleaning equipment | As required by anchor instructions |
| Torque tool | Correct range; calibration in date |
| Survey equipment | Baseline, level, plumb and clearance checks |
| Repair materials | Approved coating repair and grout/sealant if specified |



### Receipt, survey and hold point HP-1

Check packing IDs, quantities, finish and transport damage; quarantine bent, cracked, misdrilled or unacceptable scratched components and store them protected. Survey run lengths, corners, gates, aisle/equipment clearances, joints, edges, drains, slopes and damaged areas. Confirm full base-plate bearing and approved shim/grout details. Mark centers before the first hole is drilled.

### HP-1: accepted before drilling

| Substrate | Type, thickness, strength/condition and edge distances accepted |
| Services | Scan completed and marked; hazards resolved |
| Geometry | Clearances, gates and interfaces confirmed |



### Drilling and hole inspection

Follow the approved anchor’s drilling diameter, depth and equipment requirements. Drill perpendicular unless the design specifies otherwise. Do not slot or enlarge base-plate holes without written approval. Use the specified hole-cleaning procedure, exclude prohibited water or debris, and record abandoned holes, anomalies and accepted disposition.

### Hole-inspection record



QY-IGR-INS-01 · Rev. 1.0 / 24 Jul 2026 · PDF page 5.
