Dip Walkway and Gate - Emerald Saleyards

The walkway frame is to

•  Have a clearance of 50mm to existing concrete floor
•  Be designed so there are no rails from side to side that will impede the moving of water or dirt when cleaning
•  Have all ends are to be sealed to avoid foreign matter including water, insects etc from entering
•  Have angle iron as the frame which holds the flooring in place (flooring will be required to be halved so it can be folded up to allow for cleaning)
•  Ensure both entries (main entrance and man gate) are to be angled to in a ramp like fashion to eliminate any trip hazards

 Walkway Flooring

•  Must be non-slip
•  To be quoted using FRP (38x38mm square mesh)
•  Able to be lifted by one person to conduct cleaning
•  Split down the middle (length ways) so that each side can be lifted and stood against walls to allow sufficient cleaning of under body (can be hinged or drop in) (see attachment of sketch)

 Safety Rail

•  4800mm long
•  Welded to existing rail posts 200mm above current block height
•  To be sealed at each end
•  Made from 25nb x 3mm galvanised pipe
•  Located at the front half of dip where the dip brick wall is lower

 Dip Self Closing Gates

•  As per example diagrams attached
•  To have a spacing of 400mm between the gate bars from either side
•  Can be loosely spring loaded or designed in a way that the gate bars will close automatically
•  Rails to be set equally between 600 - 1200mm at lowest point o Must be designed so end gate can still be locked shut

IMPORTANT NOTE:

A template must be provided to demonstrate to the stakeholders what the gate will look like and the spacings of the bars. Will not need to be an operational template
