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
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.
Pour the concrete into the form. Do not allow the cast-in-place template to bend or twist out of shape during the
pour.
Smooth and level the top surface of the concrete.
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.
Remove and discard the form.
Backfill the cable conduit trenches with soil or gravel as required.
Backfill and grade the perimeter area around the pad with soil, as required.
Trim the cable conduits to a height no more than 4 inches above the pad.
