To ensure that the equipment is solidly bolted to the ground under all operation
conditions, a foundation with the following dimensions shall be provided:
Depth of foundation:
at least 3ft (frost-depth)
Base area of foundation: 19” x 23 ½”
The base of the foundation is 4” wider towards the vehicle passage side, than in other

4 Conduit for control cables, dia. ½”
5 Concrete foundation
Conduit pipes (with different diameters for low and high voltage cables as per
Electrical code) must be installed to run the mains supply cable, the control cables
and the induction loop lead wires.
A reinforcing steel cage is absolutely essential for the stability of the foundation (see
