Installation guide for Armadillo gully grate shells

Intro

Armadillo gully grate shells safeguard gully tops installed against the kerb at finished road level (up to 50mm proud of the surrounding construction surface) from the extreme loads presented by construction plant traffic, prior to the application of finish road surfacing.

It is a reusable or if necessary sacrificial accessory for loose [or optional clamp] fitment over Wrekin TriStar 430x370mm and 450x450mm gully grates.

Armadillo gully grate shells also inhibit coarse debris from entering the gully, protecting the pot and drainage system.

Step 1

Ensure the installed gully grate requiring protection protrudes no more than 50mm above its surrounding [temporary] construction road surface, is robustly installed and has all loose debris removed from around it which might otherwise prevent stable fitment.

Step 2

Select the correct size Armadillo shell accessory for the gully grate requiring protection (i.e. to suit TriStar 430x370mm or 450x450mm gully).

Step 3

Place the Armadillo shell over the protruding gully grate so that it is centrally located (side to side) and flush with the back of the gully grate so that it too abuts the kerb. (Optional clamps are available at extra cost)

Step 4

Leave the Armadillo shell in place during construction works and remove just prior road surfacing.

Step 5

Removed Armadillo shells may be reused on the next phase of works, stored for future re-use or, if excessively damaged, sent for recycling (100% recyclable ferrous material).
