The Dixie Precast DP-16B series are precast foundations that are commonly used for four mast wayside signal cantilever applications. The 16B has a standard sixteen bolt mounting pattern of 19” x 19” at 48” x 48” mast centers.
Dixie Precast supplies the DP-16B foundations as in a sectional format for quick and simple assembly in the field. The DP-16B pieces have either lifting inserts or lifting hooks cast in place, which facilitate the easy placement of the foundation pieces. Dixie Precast utilizes the same thread on all of the lifting inserts throughout our product line, so the same lifting eyes can be utilized to set all of our foundations.
The sectional construction of the foundations allows for the maximum weight of each individual piece to be well within the lifting capacity of standard construction equipment. The sectional design also allows for damaged parts, such as the top or the bolts, to be replaced individually without removal of the entire foundation.
The design of the foundation makes it possible to configure the foundation to handle the various lengths of cantilevers, dependent upon the loading of the structure.
The Dixie Precast DP-16B Foundations meets or exceeds current AREMA Standards.
