Description
The US Army Corps of Engineers is soliciting bids for the installation of safety railings at UMSB Alexandria, VA. The project involves installing approximately 100 linear feet of removable safety railing on three sides. The final guardrail system must meet Federal OSHA codes and withstand a 200-pound concentrated load applied to the top rail in any downward or outward direction. The removable sections shall be 5 to 8 feet long.
• The project requires compliance with OSHA's non-mandatory structural guidelines.
• Industrial steel safety rails typically use Schedule 40 pipe, which equates to roughly 10-gauge to 12-gauge steel depending on the diameter.
• The basis for this project is to install safety railing on three sides.
• There are no existing rails that need to be removed.
