Step 4:
Pour Concrete
1.
BEFORE POURING CONCRETE, CONFIRM THE I-BEAM
POSTS ARE SPACED CORRECTLY AND SET AT CORRECT
DEPTH. REFERENCE STEP 1 & 2.
2. Fill post holes with concrete until the concrete is level
with the grade.. As shown in Fig. 7.
3. Use a level to confirm that I-Beams are plumb, positioned
with the desired spacing and aligned with the Guide
Strings. Adjust as needed.
Tip:
• Fortress recommends the utilization of 5000psi concrete,
unless otherwise specified by Architect or Engineer of
recored.
• Allow the concrete to cure for a minimum of 24 hours
before installing Brackets and Panels.
• As the concrete cures, be sure to keep I-Beam Posts placed
along guide strings & continuously check that they are
plumb as well as in line with the next I-Beam Post and set
at the desired spacing.
