Pad Suggestion for Permanent Installation
The concrete foundation pad for the structure is the most important structural preparation for the Bluff
DuraSweeper
®
. The suggested pads detailed in the following figures may not be sufficient for all site
locations, so check with your concrete engineer for proper depth, structure, and grade for your site
location.
Concrete pad should be poured by qualified personnel under the direction of properly trained
and qualified supervision. Failure to do so could result in pad failure that could cause serious
injury, death, and catastrophic damage to the equipment.
The pads for each permanently installed column are expected to be level and on-plane to each other.
Some variations may be overcome with shims under the column bases.
Concrete should meet all recommendations of the latest ACI 318 code, particularly with regard to cold-
weather pouring of concrete.
Note: Concrete piers can be used in place of concrete pads. Contact Bluff for additional information.
