Placing the Reinforcement
1. Once the forms and trench have been prepared, begin placing the reinforcement rods and mesh in
the foundation’s footing. Make sure the reinforcement rods are properly lapped by wiring.
2. Place at least 2 in. of compacted sand on the inside section of the foundation to provide a good
base for the concrete and to protect against rodents.
3. Cover the sand with 4 ml. polyethylene plastic, which will act as a moisture barrier.
4. Add two layers of 6 x 6 in. wire mesh to the entire area of the foundation slab or the entire foundation
for monolithic systems to complete the preparation of the bin’s foundation.
