We love a challenge, and this project had a few!
Removed the old, non-functional truck scales, including foundations.
Prepped site for new concrete foundations and scale installation.
The old scales may not have worked, but not for lack of structural integrity. The concrete decking was poured in and around the structural steel and had plenty of rebar.
The concrete footings and stem walls were massive, deep and had a ton of rebar. Fought us every step of the way, but we got it.
Then prepped the site, established clean bottom of hole, installed geotextile and structural NFS Type-II gravel.
The design also called for 4-inches of 60-psi rigid board foam insulation beneath the new structural footings.
Now the concrete footings will be poured and we’ll be back to prep for wash out and approach slabs.
Onto the next one!
