Site Preparation / Foundation
Check and review all blueprints prior to starting work. Steps to follow include:
- Use only the latest engineering drawing sent with the scale order.
- Using a transit, locate the stakes where the scale foundation will be
constructed.
- Excavate to the specified elevation on the drawing / print to comply with the desired
finished scale elevation.
- Construct forms and make sure they are square, plumb, and level.
- Foundation must be accurate to the blueprints within specified tolerances.
The foundation must comply with the blueprint to have an acceptable installation.
- Position cut-to-length rebar into the foundation forms as per illustrations noted on
the B-TEK Scales drawings. (Rebar conforming to ASTM 615 Grade 60 is
recommended.)
- Concrete of 4,000 psi compressive strength is required for the foundation, and piers,
if used.
- The base plates, which support the load cells, are designed to be anchored to the
foundation (or pier) by using expansion bolts placed in concrete after curing.
- B-TEK Scales recommends the use of 3/4” X 7” length expansion bolts, which
provide greater flexibility, to ensure proper positioning of the scale.
- All concrete work must meet standards set forth by the American Concrete Institute
Code.
- Allow the concrete foundation time to cure before erecting the scale. Insufficient
curing time of concrete may result in damage to the structural integrity of the scale
foundation.
