handrails, are to be made of ASTM A316 stainless steel, especially where used to secure
aluminum components to the concrete. All penetrations required to fasten the component to
the concrete are to be sealed either by the application of a silicon sealant to the fastener or by
bedding the component in an approved epoxy material to assure proper adhesion and against
moisture penetration. The placement) of such fasteners shall in no way interfere with the
drainage of the surrounding concrete surface.
3. If the affected handrail bases are deteriorated to a point where adequate structural
reinforcement will not be provided by placement of external'accessories, inserts of similar
material shall be used to reinforce the railing posts. The inserts shall be embedded into the
concrete slab and inserted into the main railing posts and bolted for stability. The cut sheets
of the proposed inserts shall be submitted and reviewed by the Engineer prior to final
approval for placement.

with each other by providing insulating materials and/or sleeves between the two dissimilar
metals of approved thickness and composition.

5. All railing post penetrations, in used and/or previously filled, shall be filled to slab grade and
crowned with approved materials and methods to improve stability and prevent moisture
from collection around the railing posts.
