paint by the Surveyors.
2. Use a drill with a masonry bit to drill holes into the asphalt or pavers at the marked locations.
The hole diameter should be slightly larger than the diameter of the steel rod.
3. Remove any debris or loose material from the drilled holes using a brush or compressed air.
This ensures a better bond with the concrete.
4. Cut the 19mm diameter steel rods to the desired length. The length will depend on the
thickness of the precast wheel stopper and the depth of the drilled holes.
