General: The aluminum rod monument assembly is often used to mark survey points in wet marshy areas where pipe survey monuments cannot reach firm soil. The rod monument is also used in loose soils where pipe monuments may be frost-heaved. It is also light and convenient to use where packing -in or where other logistical requirements demand. The monument rod is one component of three comprising the finished set survey rod monument assembly. The assembly consists of a driving point section which is threaded onto the aluminum rod stainless steel threaded stud, aluminum rod(s) with studs on one end, and an aluminum cap with a magnet which is driven onto the last rod section portion which extends above the ground. Rod sections (and their respective connecting stud) may be added to accrue an extended length for the monument so that the driven monument ultimately reaches a point of refusal. A minimum of three aluminum rods are typically driven. A rod section weighs about one-half pound. 2. Aluminum Rod Sections: Rod sections shall be Alloy and Temper 6063-T6 solid extruded rod QQ-A-200/9; SAE 4156: ASM 4156; ASTM B221; AMSI H 38.5: or latest revisions; or equivalent.

Rod sections shall be 3/4'" in diameter (plus or minus 0.010") x 36" long. Both ends of each rod section shall be machine faced perpendicular to the rod centerline. A "scratch" mark (grooved ring) shall be machined 1" from each end of the rod. A threaded connector screw (see below) shall be installed in one end of each rod prior to shipment. 3. Threaded Connectors: Threaded connector studs, or floating connectors, shall be Type 347 Stainless Steel, in order to minimize galvanic action.

The point may vary in design and shape, although the point shall be designed so that it will tighten the aluminum rod string as it is driven into the ground and provide resistance if an attempt is made to pull the aluminum rod string out of the ground. 6. Packaging: Standard packaging will include: a. Each aluminum rod box shall contain 20-30 rods with a connector screw installed in one end of each rod and shall be protected by plastic caps on each rod end. b. All aluminum rod boxes shall be made from single wall cardboard- minimum 275 lbs. per square inch bursting test strength or equivalent. Boxes shall not be longer than 38 inches. c.
