Can double blockout be used with the MGS in situations where individual posts cannot be installed at the normal offset to the rail due to some obstruction that prevents proper embedment of the post?

MwRSF believes that the MGS system can tolerate double blockouts on one or two posts in this situation. This will change the effective blockout depth from 12" to 24" which should allow for placement of the post outside many obstructions. The use of double blockouts will require the use of a longer post bolt.
