2.4 Rail Installation
The following instructions describe the installation of rail sections on the Survivor ® PL.
1. Cut A.R.E.A. rail sections using 45-degree mitered rail head cuts at the weigh rail and approach rail
transitions.

2. Set rail support plates over the pre-cast anchor bolts on the approach and center section foundations.
3. Set weigh rails and approach rails onto the rail support plates.
4. Shim and align rails to match elevation of scale and set the desired grade.
Note Option: Install jam nuts under approach rail support plates to act as a leveling device.
5. Install rail clips and secure rails in place.
6. Install anti-creep rail anchors.
2.5 Grouting
Prior to grouting, re-check all weighbridge and rail alignment, levels, and elevations.
1. Use an epoxy-type 9000 psi grout under the load cell base plates, and a non-shrink cement-type grout
under the approach and center section rail support plates.
Note Do not grout under the longitudinal check brackets or side check brackets.
2. After grout has hardened, tighten/torque nuts on all anchor bolts.
3. The checking system can now be tightened. Bring the nuts up to snug, then use jam nuts to jam.
