DESCRIPTION
1. SCOPE:
a. These specifications apply to steel bar grating and/or steel bar grating treads as
hereinafter defined and described. This work shall consist of furnishing and
installing steel bar grating at the locations shown on the plans or as directed by
the Engineer. Construction of the steel bar grating shall be done in accordance
with this specification, the plans, and the manufacturer’s instructions.

4. DEFINITIONS:
a. A metal bar grating is an open grid of metal bars. These bearing bars, which have
a cross-sectional depth much greater than width, are held at regular spacing,
usually parallel, either by:
i. Straight, sinuous or corrugated cross bars having their longitudinal axis

perpendicular to the bearing bars and being connected to them by welding,
forging or mechanical locking, or by:
ii. Bent connecting bars alternately contacting adjacent bearing bars and
riveted to them at regular intervals.
b. A metal bar grating tread is a stair tread consisting of a panel of metal bar grating
having a metal nosing section extending along one of its long edges and a carrier
angle or plate at each end for connection to a stringer
c. Definitions of other terms shall conform to those given in the Glossary of Terms
