The concrete foundations are provided according to project-specific requirements either in pre-cast concrete blocks or cast-
in-place concrete. Please observe all the information provided by the manufacturer as to the handling of the material or the
pre-cast elements and abide by the safety regulations!
CAUTION when handling concrete
•
Irritant - Avoid contact with skin and eyes! Wear adequate protective equipment (PPE), such as
protective gloves and eye and face protection.

In case of spray applications, a suitable respirator mask (half mask respirator) is to be used!
WARNING when handling precast foundations
•
Use appropriate auxiliary devices to move heavy loads.
•
Never walk under suspended loads and do not stay in the turning radius of the lifting vehicle!
•
Ensure that the loads are properly and professionally fastened to guarantee a safe transport.
•
Only move the lifting vehicle on sufficiently compacted terrain and in adequate distance from
overhead power lines or other obstacles.
NOTICE
The selected fasteners (e.g. screw anchors/dowels) must be appropriate for the fastening forces that are
specified in the structural analysis! For this purpose, a corresponding data sheet has to be added to the
documents.
The required fasteners are NOT included in the scope of delivery!
CAUTION when handling drilling equipment
•
Always wear appropriate protective equipment (PPE), above all respiratory protection, ear protection
and safety glasses, when performing drilling operations.
•
Do not wear clothes that could get caught in the drill chuck and abide by all further safety guidelines
provided by the manufacturer as to handling the drilling equipment.
•
In case of special ambient conditions, appropriate additional measures must be taken, or the

conductive dust. And additional measures are, for example, weather protection, coverings and
protective hood or cap.
