5. The upper splice block is predrilled as a guide for field drilling the lower splice block.  Drive spikes will connect the seam.

fi-drivespikes
6. Panels ends are attached to the sub-structure with drive spikes.  Multiple spans are connected with straps over the pier seam.

fi-curblayout
7. Using match-marks the pre-framed rail and curb components are laid out to mark holes for field drilling the deck.

fi-grooving
8. A grooving tool is used to notch the deck for split rings.

fi-curbinstall
9. The scupper blocks and curbs are assembled.
