Concrete Drilled Depth Node Installation

  1. Concrete Drilled Depth Node Installation, pre-drill holes for tapcons: Schritt 1, Bild 1 von 1
    • Drill 2 pilot holes for the tapcons using a 5/16” masonry bit in the concrete drill set to the impact setting Ref: How do I determine the size of bit needed for my Tapcon® screw?For a 3” long, ⅜” diameter tapcon, the 5/16” diameter pilot hole must be at least 4” deep

  2. Concrete Drilled Depth Node Installation, insert node into cantilever structure and secure: Schritt 2, Bild 1 von 1
    • node holder slides into telespar attached to cantilever by a winged strut channel connector

  3. Concrete Drilled Depth Node Installation, measure top of cantilever to bottom of cone: Schritt 3, Bild 1 von 1
    • measure the distance from the top of the cantilever to the bottom of the sensor cone.

    • when the node is surveyed we will get the altitude of the top of the cantilever. we need this measurement to connect survey elevations to water surface elevations

  4. Concrete Drilled Depth Node Installation, insert rear tapcon with node pivoted: Schritt 4, Bild 1 von 1
    • assuming a flat surface you can avoid having to hold the node up while the tapcon is being drilled by having most of it rest on the surface

  5. Concrete Drilled Depth Node Installation, straighten node and insert front tapcon: Schritt 5, Bild 1 von 1
    • try to avoid drilling and removing tapcons multiple times as this can reduce the pull strength

  6. Concrete Drilled Depth Node Installation, measure distance to streambed from cone: Schritt 6, Bild 1 von 1
    • measure the distance from the top of the cantilever to the water bottom

    • the bed may be mucky or current may be strong. having a team member in waders in the water body can help if it's safe to do so.

  7. Concrete Drilled Depth Node Installation, document node and any changes to site: Schritt 7, Bild 1 von 1
    • take 6+ pictures showing the node from multiple angles and capturing the node ID sticker

    • update any applicable fields in AirTable (or other asset management tool)

    • make sure node ID is visible in at least two pictures
