Chapter 2: Floor Installation
Full Floor Installation
Using the GSI recommended method for full floor installation should save construction time and eliminate
the problem of improper installation which could invalidate your warranty. Note the following dimensions
as shown below.
• Dimension “A” is the leg-to-leg spacing along the centerline of a given plank.
• Dimension “B” is the amount of stagger between supports under adjacent planks and is half of
dimension “A”.
• Dimension “C” is the distance from the center of the unload auger to the nearest row of supports and
is half of dimension “B”.
Dimensions “A”, “B” and “C” are shown on the appropriate grandstand layout for wall heights under 32'.
For taller bins, grandstand quantity as well as dimensions “A” and “B” are given in the grandstand layout
on
2.66" Corrugation chart, page 44 and 4.00" Corrugation chart, page 45 .
1. Layout centerlines of tank. Make sure one centerline (5) is in line with the direction of the flooring
planks (4) while the other centerline (5) is perpendicular with the flooring planks (4).
2. From the centerline that is perpendicular to the flooring planks, measure the distance of “C”
dimension and mark a chalk line (6).
3. From the line chalked (6), measure over the distance of “B” dimension and chalk another line.
Repeat this procedure across the bin until reaching the wall in both directions. When completed,
there should be a set of parallel lines (perpendicular to the floor planks (4)) with “B” dimension
distance between each line.
