Installing a Pre-Cast Pad
Install the pre-cast pad according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically supplied with the pad).
A general installation practice is described below for reference. Adapt the instructions as needed for local requirements,
practices, or conditions.
WARNING!
The pre-cast concrete pad is extremely heavy. Do not place any part of your body under the pad
during lifting. Handle with care to avoid personal injury or damage to the pad.
To install a pre-cast pad
Transport the pre-cast pad to installation site.
Using a suitable lifting device (such as a backhoe equipped with lifting slings), lift the pad into position above
the gravel base inside the foundation hole.
Lower the pad onto the gravel base, allowing the conduits to pass through the cutout in the pad as it descends.
Adjust the pad positioning on the gravel base until it is stable and level.
Pull the earth ground wire through the cutout in the pad, allowing at least four feet of wire to extend above the
top of the pad.
Backfill and grade around the pad perimeter with soil to secure the pad in place.
Verify that the pad remains level. Adjust as required.
Trim the cable conduits to a height no more than 4 inches above the pad.
