8.7 Method Of Metal Edge Installation
1. Ensure the underlying surface is clean, level, and free from debris.
2. Compact the base material thoroughly to provide a stable foundation for the pavers and metal
edge.
3. Mark the desired position for the metal edge between the two pavers.
4. Use chalk lines or other suitable markers to ensure accurate placement.
5. If necessary, cut the pavers to accommodate the metal edge. Use appropriate tools such as a
saw with a diamond blade.
6. Carefully place the metal edge in the marked position between the two pavers, ensuring a snug
fit.
7. Secure the metal edge further by using screws/ stakes or other fastening methods
recommended by manufacturer. Ensure the fasteners are evenly spaced and securely
tightened.
8. Apply grout around the metal edge and between the pavers to provide a clean and finished
look.
9. Smooth the grout lines for a neat appearance.
10. Wipe away any excess grout using a damp sponge or cloth. Prompt cleaning is crucial to achieve
a professional finish.
11. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive and grout to cure, following the manufacturer's
recommendations.
12. WIR shall be submitted as per approved ITP.

Development, Al Ain
8.8 Raised Cross Walk Paving (Pedestrian Crossings Table)
1. Clear the area where the crosswalk raised platform will be installed. Remove any existing
pavement or materials as needed.

Development, Al Ain
2. Excavate the area to the required depth according to the design specifications. This may include
removing existing soil or materials to make way for the base layers.
3. Install a well-compacted base coarse layer. The thickness and compaction requirements should
be in accordance with the shop drawing approved by the Engineer.
4. Install kerb stones and pavers as mentioned above.
5. Install bollards at designated locations along the crosswalk raised platform. Secure them firmly
to the pavement as per drawings / manufacturer recommendation.
6. Install tactile tiles on the sides of the crosswalk to assist visually impaired pedestrians as
mentioned above.
7. Apply crosswalk markings and install appropriate signage to indicate the presence of the
crosswalk raised platform.
8. A reflective solid triangle pavement marking in yellow shall be applied on the inclined surface
with pavers where vehicles will approach, in accordance with the approved drawing and using
materials that have been approved.
9. WIR shall be submitted as per approved ITP. Wheel Stopper Installation
8.9 Wheel Stopper Installation
1. Mark the positions for the wheel stopper on the asphalt road or pavers using chalk or spray
paint by the Surveyors.
2. Use a drill with a masonry bit to drill holes into the asphalt or pavers at the marked locations.
The hole diameter should be slightly larger than the diameter of the steel rod.
3. Remove any debris or loose material from the drilled holes using a brush or compressed air.
This ensures a better bond with the concrete.

Development, Al Ain
4. Cut the 19mm diameter steel rods to the desired length. The length will depend on the
thickness of the precast wheel stopper and the depth of the drilled holes.
5. Insert the steel rods into the drilled holes. Ensure they are securely positioned and extend to
the recommended depth.
6. Prepare the non-shrink epoxy grout according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a mix
suitable for outdoor applications and compatible with the surrounding environment.
7. Position the precast wheel stopper over the steel rods, ensuring a snug fit.
8. Adjust the position of the wheel stopper to align with the markings on the asphalt or pavers.
9. Pour the prepared non-shrink epoxy grout mix around the base of the precast wheel stopper,
filling the drilled holes.
10. Use a level to check and adjust the alignment of the precast wheel stopper. Make sure it is level
and straight.
11. Allow the non-shrink epoxy grout to cure according to the recommended time frame provided
by the manufacturer.
