Note:
The mounting studs should protrude approximately 2 inches above the form.
6.
Verify that the form remains level across the entire surface. Adjust as required.
7.
Pull the earth ground wires (from the conduit trenches) through the center entry ducts in
the template, allowing at least four feet of wire to extend above the top of the form.
8.
Mask the six mounting studs on the template to protect the threads from concrete.
Casting the Pad
Cast the concrete foundation pad as described below. Adapt the instructions as needed for
local requirements, practices, or conditions.
To cast the concrete pad
1.
Prepare the concrete mix. Be sure to mix enough concrete to cast the entire pad in a
single pour.
Note:
To avoid structural weakening, do not cast a pad from multiple concrete pours.
2.
Pour the concrete into the form. Do not allow the cast-in-place template to bend or twist
out of shape during the pour.
3.
Smooth and level the top surface of the concrete.
4.
Leave the pad to cure. Do not remove the form until the concrete has fully cured (at least
72 hours).
Perform the remaining steps only after the concrete has cured.
5.
Remove and discard the form.
6.
Backfill the cable conduit trenches with soil or gravel as required.
7.
Backfill and grade the perimeter area around the pad with soil, as required.
8.
Trim the cable conduits to a height no more than 4 inches above the pad.
