Preparing the Site
Using wooden boards and stakes, construct a concrete form with interior dimensions of 72 x 88 inches
(minimum) inside the foundation hole. Make sure that the top edge of the form is level.
Place gravel into the foundation hole to create a level base. The gravel layer should be at least two inches
deep, compacted and leveled.
Place and tie rebar inside the form elevated above the gravel.
Place the Clearfield cast-in-place template into the form, guiding the cable conduits through the conduit entry
ducts in the template.
Align the template mounting brackets flush with the top of the form, then nail the template to the form to secure
it in place.
Note:
The mounting studs should protrude approximately one inch above the form.

Excavate the pad area. Dig a foundation hole six inches deep with a perimeter measuring at least 72 x 88 inches.
Grade and compact the excavated surface until it is firm and level.
Trench out conduit paths through the foundation hole (from the cable feeder location). Refer to the
pad drawings
for conduit locations.
Place the cable conduits into the conduit trench. Refer to the
pad construction guidelines
for conduit sizes and
locations.
Route the earth ground wire through the conduit trench (from the ground electrode).
