SHALLOW
FOOTING
This is a prefabricated reinforced steel base frame, which
is filled with concrete during installation. BOSIK manufactures
the frame in-house, which ensures that each end of the barrier
is properly aligned.
In brief, the Shallow
Footing Anchor system requires excavation to the frost
level, as determined by local building codes, subsequently
partially filled with crushed rock and compacted (Allow 18"
space from surface to accommodate the base frame.). The 18”
base frame (supplied by BOSIK) is placed on top, leveled to
surface, and filled with concrete in situ. The barrier assembly
is then attached to the base frames, with the anchor bolts
supplied, and electrically and hydraulically connected. For
ease of installation, the base frame will have all service
conduits pre-covered to prevent any concrete from entering
them.
BOSIK recommends the shallow footing because
of ease and speed of installation. The price of concrete is
not included. This type of footing allows a certain amount
of movement to stop the vehicle.
• Smaller excavation hole than traditional
concrete foundation
• Steel frame can be excavated and used at other locations
• Provides secure anchorage to stop vehicle threats
• Dimensions of frame are custom designed for application
• Will allow some vehicle penetration
