Cable protection - how to attach to asphalt?

[Plupp 197593]

Hello!

We need to install cable protection across the street, where trucks sometimes drive.
It should stay there for at least 5 months.

How do you think we should attach the cable protection to the asphalt?

Regular bolt with plug?

Thanks for the tips!!

The covers I see laid out on the streets are never attached to the surface. Do you really need to secure them?
Plugs and screws are unlikely to hold in asphalt.

Where did you buy the cable protectors? Doesn't the reseller have any good tips on how to attach them (if it's even necessary)?

Those two should work, right?

Thanks!!!

EDIT: Here they were bought https://www.vidaxl.se/e/8718475592976/vidaxl-kabelskydd-1-kanal-gummi-100-cm when my friend stopped just above to test then skidded away so they moved quite a bit. It seems smarter to fasten them, who knows what fool (friend) will ride here.

A machine screw in a plug is not optimal. Take the largest plug and screw you can use. Maybe then the covers can sit somewhat tightly for a while.

Like that? But it's not stainless steel, although maybe there's not a big risk of them rusting apart in 7 months, mostly during summer.

Yes, something that is self-tapping will work in the plug.

Hmm. What's happening in picture 2 of the assembly instructions? That doesn't look like any 100mm screw.

Doesn't look like these are overrun protection. Doesn't say so either. Probably won't last long.

Skip the plugs. Instead, buy concrete screws, preferably ones that are more than 100mm long. Ex. https://www.biltema.se/bygg/fastele...zo8AbPPs0Jj4Gr1IewWlgxijY-klV_wcaAtbPEALw_wcB

Facade plugs are available in a length of 250mm, and it might be possible to find 300mm or perhaps even longer.

I believe you need to get the fasteners really, really deep into the ground for them to have the slightest chance of holding for a longer time.

Maybe drill with a slightly smaller dimension once you've gotten below the asphalt itself, or perhaps insert something that "glues" to the substrate before you send down the plug/screw/nail.

Get rubber overrun protection otherwise, I don't know where in the country you live but it usually withstands most things except possibly the snowplow. You have it under daily supervision as well.

The product description states that it is a rubber cable protector that should withstand 25 tons.

"The ramp is made of rubber, which is lightweight, durable, and long-lasting. The ramp is bright yellow and has warning symbols on the surface to make it more visible. It has a channel groove to guide and protect your cables and can support a maximum weight of 25 tons."

Yep. But it doesn't say it applies to driving over it. 25 tons but with what? There probably isn't any car with a 25-ton axle load. Very doubtful about these. Could be wrong.

Yes, it says rubber but looks more like plastic, but okay. If the protectors slide easily against the surface, they probably need to be screwed in at all attachment points; one might wonder what the road manager's opinions are on this. Restoration should only require a bit of cold asphalt to be pushed in.
Make sure there are no sensors for traffic lights or the like before you start drilling.
Feel free to return with a review; I've mostly worked with similar ones in soft rubber.
