Isolated Pad Installation
This type of installation is NOT recommended. Installer MUST
consult a Structural Engineer for concrete specifications and re-
quirements for installations that will not be tied into adjacent
foundations.
IMPORTANT: The above instructions and recommenda-
tions are conservative specifications for a typical in-
stallation based on consultations with a structural en-
gineer. Alliance Laundry Systems stands behind all in-
stallations meeting these specifications. For alternate
installation specifications based on your soil type, lo-
cation, building structure, unique floor geometry, ma-
chine types, and utilities, consult a structural engineer
in your local area.
Foundation and Pad Installation
A concrete pad may be constructed to elevate a machine. Care
must be exercised in the design of the pad due to the force exert-
ed by the machine during extract. This concrete pad, recommend-
ed not to exceed 8 inches [203 mm] above existing floor, must be
placed, reinforced with rebar and tied to the existing floor. Refer
to
Floor Layout and Pad Dimensions
sections for multiple machine installations.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT install a pad on top of the exist-
ing floor. The foundation and pad must be constructed
and tied together as one piece.
If the existing floor is not reinforced concrete at least 12 inches
[305 mm] thick, an elevated pad is desired or multiple machines
are to be installed, the following steps must be performed (refer
to
):
1. Cut a hole through the existing floor that is larger on all sides
than the machine base, refer to
.
2. Excavate to a depth as indicated in
from the top of
the existing floor.
3. If installing a foundation with elevated pad, prepare a form
for the above-ground portion of the foundation. Verify that the
top of the foundation is level. The height of the foundation
pad must not exceed 8 inches [203 mm] above the existing
floor.
4. Backfill with clean fill dirt.
5. Compact backfill, making sure to allow for correct concrete
thickness.
6. Drill holes (refer to manufacturer’s requirements for drill hole
size) for the perimeter reinforcing bar at a depth of 2-1/2 in-
ches [64 mm] into the existing floor. The reinforcing should
be 12 inches [305 mm] on center each way around entire pe-
rimeter.
7. Clean out debris from each reinforcing bar hole.
8. Fill half the hole depth with acrylic adhesive.
NOTE: Procure acrylic adhesive rated for commer-
cial-grade vibratory machine installations
9. Using #4 [60 ksi] reinforcing bar, tie new pad to existing floor
making sure to tie reinforcing bars at the intersections and us-
ing proper reinforcing bar supports to hold bars at the proper
depth in the pad.
10. Allow adhesive around reinforcing bar to cure properly, refer
to adhesive manufacturer for recommended cure times.
11. Completely fill with 3500 psi concrete up to the existing
foundation level plus any added level (maximum of 8 inch
