are required”.

Answer: There is only 1 concrete slide as shown on Detail 3, LD-05C. The confusion on LD-05E
may be a rending issue. On image 2 the central staircase is poorly defined and may have been
interpreted as a slide. This stair shows more clearly in image 4 / LD-05E. The second slide is a
plastic 5” tall slide as shown on Detail 3/ LD-05B.

 Answer: The rebar can be painted with Galvacon or be epoxy coated to provide full rust protection.

Question: “What is anchoring the stairs from lateral movement or long-term creep of the soil”?

Answer: Each landing has two vertical post anchors as shown in the detail. Assume an additional
10 x 2.4m long, 6x6 Pressure treated lumber with a 900mm long rebar stake. This will provide 10
deadman elements for the staircase where it is acting against the slope. This will be detailed in an
SI post tender.

Question: “Please provide the height for each of the three (3) vertical climbing logs as currently the

the logs are not dimensioned for lengths. Please provide dimensions for each of the 6 logs as
shown”.

23.9m.
