Machine Foundation and Pad
Installation
A concrete pad may be constructed to elevate a
machine. Care must be exercised in the design of the
pad due to the force exerted by the machine during
extract. This concrete pad, recommended not to
exceed 8 inches (203 mm) above existing floor, must
be placed, reinforced with rebar and tied to the
existing floor. Refer to Table 3 and Figure 5 through
Figure 7 for multiple machine installations.
Table 3
*For smaller areas for installations, a recommended
minimum pad size of 50 in. (1270 mm) x 50 in.
(1270 mm) with a thickness of 18 in. (457 mm) is an
option.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT install a pad on top of the
existing floor. The foundation and pad must be
constructed and tied together as one piece.
If the existing floor is not reinforced concrete at least
12 inches (305 mm) thick, an elevated pad is desired
or multiple machines are to be installed, the following
steps must be performed (refer to Figure 5 through
Figure 7):
1. Cut a hole larger on all sides than the machine
base through the existing floor, refer to Table 3.
2. Excavate to a depth as indicated in Table 3 from
the top of the existing floor.
3. If installing a foundation with elevated pad,
prepare a form for the above-ground portion of
the foundation. Verify that the top of the
foundation is level. The height of the foundation
pad must not exceed 8 inches (203 mm) above
the existing floor.
4. Backfill with clean fill dirt.
5. Compact backfill, making sure to allow for
correct concrete thickness.
6. Drill holes (refer to manufacturer’s requirements
for drill hole size) for the perimeter reinforcing
bar at a depth of 2.5 inches (64 mm) into the
existing floor. The reinforcing should be 12
inches (305 mm) on center each way around
entire perimeter.
7. Clean out debris from each reinforcing bar hole.
8. Fill half the hole depth with acrylic adhesive.
9. Using #4 (60 ksi) reinforcing bar, tie new pad to
existing floor making sure to tie reinforcing bars
at the intersections and using proper reinforcing
bar supports to hold bars at the proper depth in
the pad.
10. Allow adhesive around reinforcing bar to cure
properly, refer to adhesive manufacturer for
recommended cure times.
