Deck forming will prepare a custom fitted deck that provides correct clearance while conform-
ing to the pit walls and rails. The construction of the deck provides several custom "pans" to
contain the reinforcement rods, manholes, and to support the poured redi-mix concrete until it
cures.

Weld
1: To maintain a 5/8" spacing between the scale deck and the pit wall, machine screw nuts
are welded to the outer face of the channel iron below the rock guard at each end, and at six-
teen 16 inch intervals, more if required. Use 5/8 inch nuts, which measure 1.0 inch across
the flats.
