For aU DiIln2S:
. Pilings shall be of timber treated with chromated copper arsenate (C.C.A.).
. Pilings shall be of timber which will withstand the driving for which they are intended.
. A straight line drawn from the center of the butt to the center of the tip shall not at any
point face further away from the center of the pile than a distance equal to 1 % of the
length of the pile. -
. Piles to be sufficient length to provide a minimum of four foot penetration into the
substrate and the base of the dayboard must be eight feet above mean high water.
. Black, cone head, round piling caps of the appropriate size should be mounted atop
the piling using four stainless #6 nails (this includes all sign replacements).
. Any pilings replaced will be removed and properly disposed of.
For all si2DS:
. Signage to be constructed of .125 gauge aluminum.
. Signage must be USCG approved.
. All signs should be pre-made (text, borders, etc.) by a County approved manufacturer.
. Signs should be mounted so that the piling is not visible above the signs.
. Hardware should all be stainless steel, including: 3/8" all-thread and 3/8" lag screws,
1 ~" (o.d.) flat washers and 3/8" nuts. 1~" (o.d.) plastic or nylon (or similar material)
washers shall also be used to separate the aluminum signs from the stainless steel flat
washers and nuts.
.-.........-.......................-............................................................................................................................
Standard size markers: Signs for these markers have a 1 nm nominal range. The standard size
for such signs is- 3' x 3' green square, 4' x 4' red triangle, 3' x 3' diamond (danger), and 4' x 3'
regulatory, and information signs. 12" diameter pilings (approximately) will be used for all
standard size sign installations.
For standard size signs mounted at the top of standard size pilings:
A 12" long 2" x 4" pressure treated backing board should be installed horizontally 2"
below the top of the piling (to provide room for the piling cap) and attached to the piling
with four stainless #16 ring shank nails to prevent the board from rotating. The board
will be beveled to provide a flat surface for the downward angle of the sign. The board
will be installed so as to mount the signs to the appropriate approach angle of the marker
route.
Two lag screws and two all-threads will be used to mount the signs. One lag screw (4"
long) will be installed at the top of the sign, through the backing board and into the
piling. The other lag screw (3" long) will be installed at the bottom of the sign into the
piling. The two all-threads will be installed on the sides of the signs. Washers and nuts
are to be used, both in front and back of the signs, to assist with adjusting the approach
angle and ensure proper tightening of the hardware.
