Barrier Installation
Connecting barriers is quick and effortless; just one smooth motion, and they’re securely linked; no screws or additional fittings are required, and there is no need to stand beside them. In addition to this, you have the ability to remove any barrier mid set-up without any hassle or disruption.
• No need to stand close to the barriers when installing.
• Disengage any barrier in the middle of a work zone with ease.
• No need for screws or additional fittings.
› Installation Checklist
% Conduct a risk assessment before assembly.
% Inspect the barriers prior to every use to ensure they are not damaged and that the rubber feet are in good condition. (For a full inspection protocol, see page 21).
% Make sure that all barriers are connected properly.
% When integrating barriers of different lengths in one installation, use the specified working width and minimum installation length from the barrier with the highest value. Example: In a T3 installation mixing the Svea 5.7 and Svea 2.85 barriers, the minimum installation length is 45.6 m / 150 ft (from Svea 5.7) and the working width W3 (from Svea 2.85).
% Make sure that the surface behind the barrier is free from foreign objects, such as standing water, ice, and snow.
% Make sure the barriers are placed on an asphalt, concrete or gravel surface. For a gravel surface, the Ev2 should be 77 MPa or higher, and the material has a fraction of 50 mm / 2 inches or less. This corresponds to machine compacted gravel.
Make sure that all barriers are connected !
› Installation
Remove any barrier in the middle of a setup
Connecting a Svea barrier is quick and easy, and there is no need for screws or tools; the Svea can be easily disengaged or engaged in the middle of a setup. This feature is extra effective in emergencies where barriers must be removed to create a path for emergency vehicles.
Height difference
All Svea barriers are flexible and can be placed on edges such as sidewalks or uneven surfaces without losing the engagement of the connection. The connection can withstand approximately 140 mm / 5.5 inches height difference.
Ground angle
The Svea barrier connection can withstand up to 3° change of angle, meaning it can be placed on light slopes without the need to disengage the connection.
› Installation
› Turn radius
mm / 224.4 in 2850 mm / 112.2 in
mm / 112.2 in
The interlocking distance of each Svea Barrier is evenly divisible. ±3°
Refer to the different radius when setting up barriers on a curved road. Sometimes you can exclude the need of Svea Barrier Hinge by using a barrier with smaller turn radius. All barriers have a turn angle of 3°.
Lifting
To think about before lifting
• Only use designated lifting tools.
• Exercise caution regarding the risk of crushing.
• Ensure the barrier is not stuck, frozen to the ground, or blocked in any way to avoid overloading the lifting equipment.
• Never lift multiple connected barriers.
• If using lifting forks, ensure that the forks and fork holes are free from snow and ice.
• Ensure that the required documentation for the chosen lifting equipment is available and that instructions are followed.
Stand clear from moving barriers!
Never lift a barrier if a person is in its path of motion. Take caution to never lift a barrier above yourself or anyone else.
Never lift more than one barrier!
Lifting multiple barriers can pose significant risks, including strains on the lifting track, lifting tools, and the barrier connection.
Never drag barriers!
Dragging barriers will damage the barrier’s rubber feet and put excessive tension on the lifting track and tools.
› Recomended lifting tools
1
Lifting Clamp
The lifting clamp offers a quick and convenient method for lifting the Svea barrier. Its design eliminates the need to stand close during setup, enhancing safety, especially in high-traffic areas.
2
Lifting Forks
Lifting the Svea barrier with forks is a safe and precise method, ideal for efficiently handling and storing the barriers in the depot. Lifting the Barrier Hinge with forks is not an option
3

Lifting chains/slings are used for the end barrier and sometimes for straightforward barrier setups. A chain/sling is the only option for lifting the barrier hinge.
› WXS Lifting Clamp
Full instructions on how to use the WXS Lifting Clamp see info sheet - 833412
Before starting the lift, ensure that the surface of the barrier is free from contaminants (ice/paint/oil/debris) that may reduce friction between the lifting jaws and the barrier. Position the lifting jaws center over the barrier and lower them slowly until they make contact with the barrier. Once they hit the barrier, a click will be heard; this indicates that the lifting jaws are in active mode and will grasp the barrier during the lift.
Center the jaws
Lifting should always be done with the lifting jaws positioned directly above the center of gravity of the barrier. Lifting the barrier at an angle risks overloading and damaging the lifting jaws.
Retake
If the barrier is lifted at an angle, lower it carefully, move the lifting jaws closer to the center, and try again.
Lift slowly to ensure grip
Start the lift slowly to ensure the center of gravity is aligned beneath the lifting jaws, and a secure grip is established.
Storage & Maintenance
When the barriers are in storage the following safety precautions must be taken:
• Ensure each stack is separated by 70 mm / 2.75 inches to prevent compression of the rubber feet under extended heavy loads. Position the separating blocks on the concrete surface, not on the rubber feet.
• A maximum of 3 barriers may be stacked in height.
• Ensure that the ground has sufficient bearing capacity and that the setup surface is as flat and smooth as possible.
Exchangeable parts
If the rubber feet are nearing the end of their lifespan, they can be easily replaced. Simply lift the barrier, unscrew the foot, and, if needed, replace the sockets holding the feet as well.
› Inspection checklist
Always inspect the barrier according to the checklist below before use. If any damage is detected, the product must be taken out of service for repair or recycling.
Before each use, a simple check is recommended:
% Visually inspect the barrier components for any damage.
% Look for signs of impact or damage from dropping during lifting or handling.
% Check for wear on the rubber feet, ensuring there is at least 3 mm / 0.1 inch clearance between the rubber and the metal frame.
Annually check the Svea barrier for the following:
% Cracks/rust in or around welds.
% Cracks or deformations around lifting sockets.
% Damage around the lifting slots, chipped concrete, or similar.
% Wear on rubber feet. New feet have a thickness of 9 mm/ 0.35 inch mm to the metal frame. Replace the foot when 3 mm / 0.1 inch remains.

Detailed Wind Advisory
› Installation methods for high wind loads
Wind load increases exponentially
The Sound Panel system has a large surface area; therefore, wind stress is an essential factor to consider. Wind load increases exponentially with wind speed; for instance, if the wind speed doubles, the wind load will quadruple.
For installation in areas with high wind exposure, such as bridges or vast open fields, it is essential to use methods that enhance stability and prevent the system from tipping over.
1 pascal = 0.1 kg per square meter. Additional aerodynamic factors will increase the actual pressure on each components.
Factor 1.2 for round components and factor 2.1 for square components
› Warning - Winds!
Doubled wind speed means 4 times higher pressure
Tripled wind speed means 9 times higher pressure. For example, a wind speed of 32 m/s / 71.6 mph gives more than 10 times the pressure of a wind speed of 10 m/s / 22.4 mph.
Surrounding terrain will affect the wind speed significantly
Forecasted or reported wind data reflects the wind speed at meteorological stations, which are commonly situated in fairly open terrain with isolated obstacles like trees and small buildings (terrain category II). The following terrain features will lead to increased wind speed compared to forecasted wind speed:
• Open fields, lakes, coastal areas.
• Ridges, slopes, hills.
• Steep-sided valleys (funnelling effect).
• Towers or high-rise buildings.
Sound Panel Introduction
The Svea Sound Panel is a noise reducing panel that is crafted with both efficiency and ease of use in mind.

% Always brace the system if high wind is expected.
% Control the expected wind conditions at the installation site against the specified wind speeds in this manual. Make sure that the surface behind the barrier is free from foreign objects, such as standing water, ice, and snow.
% Know that the wind pressure increases exponentially with the wind speed.
% Ensure that the ground under the system is flat. If the barriers are leaning, the tipping resistance will decrease.
% Check all components before installation, do not use components with visible damage.
% Tighten all screws firmly.
% Ensure that all barriers are connected.
% Only use appropriate tools for the installation.
› Warning - Make sure the setup is on hard ground
!Always ensure the barrier is placed on a perfectly flat and level surface to prevent tipping. Maintaining a flat and level surface becomes increasingly crucial as the setup height increases. If the barrier is not level, the centre of mass may shift, making the setup more prone to tipping from wind or other factors, posing risks of injury to workers or passers-by.
Once a barrier starts to tip, the entire setup is at risk, regardless of length. This can lead to exponential consequences and even the risk of death. It is essential to understand that a longer barrier setup is not inherently more stable than a shorter one unless properly turned or braced. Know that the wind pressure increases exponentially with the wind speed. Wind calculations are based on a perfectly level and flat surface.

Avoid tightening the screws too firmly. The adaptor plate should still be able to slide laterally. Final tightening will occur in a later step.
Tighten the adaptor plate against the barrier's coupling by levering with a screwdriver in the marked recess. Secure the screws firmly once the adaptor plate is tightened. Repeat the process on the other side.
Ensure that the hood hooks securely onto the adaptor plate's hooks on both sides.
