Making gradual turns in concrete
Use three 30º turns to make a 90º turn through slots cut in concrete (see Figure 13:).
• Make 90° turns by using three successive turns of 30°.
• Each 30° corner must be separated by at least 3.6 m (12 ft.).
• Keep the sensor cables parallel and properly spaced.
• Maintain the same uniform burial depth around corners.
• For large concrete areas that are paved in slabs, place corners in the center of a single slab if
possible. Turn corners in the fewest possible number of slabs.
