Installing a Pre-Cast Pad
Install the pre-cast pad according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically supplied with
the pad).
A general installation practice is described below for reference. Adapt the instructions as
needed for local requirements, practices, or conditions.
WARNING!
The pre-cast concrete pad is extremely heavy. Handle with
care to avoid personal injury or damage to the pad.
To install a pre-cast pad
1.
Transport the pre-cast pad to installation site.
2.
Using a crane and slings, lift the pad into position above the gravel base inside the
foundation hole.
3.
Lower the pad onto the gravel base, allowing the conduits to pass through the cutout in
the pad as it descends.
4.
Adjust the pad positioning on the gravel base until it is stable and level.
5.
Pull the earth ground wire through the cutout in the pad, allowing at least four feet of
wire to extend above the top of the pad.
