Gate/Wayside Foundations

DPS-2A Gate/Wayside Signal Foundation

Crossing gate mechanism, wayside signal. All Dixie Precast products meet or exceed AREMA standards.

Description

The Dixie Precast DPS-2A is a precast foundation that is commonly used for crossing gate mechanism or wayside signal applications. The S2 has a standard 11 11/16” x 11 11/16” bolt spacing, which matches the common mounting for 5” masts.

Dixie Precast supplies the DPS-2A foundation pre-assembled, so it arrives at the job site ready to install. The S2 has lifting inserts cast in the top of the foundation, which facilitate the easy placement of the foundation. 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 enables the foundation to be offered in various heights, with the most common supplied at 5’7”. In case or damage to the top or the bolts, the design of the S2 also allows for replacement of the damaged parts without removal of the entire foundation. The top section is designed to accommodate cable or duct entry into the mast and/or junction box.

The Dixie Precast DPS-2A Foundation meets or exceeds current AREMA Standards.
