Preparing the foundation
Overview of
foundation
preparation
Motorola recommend the cabinet be installed on a separate concrete base of
sufficient size and construction to accommodate the Horizon
macro cabinet size
and weight, as determined by a structural engineer.
WARNING
Excavations exceeding 1.2 m in depth must be adequately
shored to prevent land slip or trench collapse. Excavated
earth must not be placed within 1 m of the excavation
edge.
NOTE
At the customers discretion a steel structure may also be
used, with size, construction and layout determined by a
structural engineer.
Reference should be made to Site requirements and
considerations in this chapter for details of equipment
weights and dimensions.
The foundation depth is determined by a soil survey performed by the site
architect, but must be of sufficient strength to withstand 105 knot (120 mph)
winds on the cabinet front or rear and a maximum gross weight of 360 kgs.
