Fairbanks HVX Series TALON SERIES Motor Truck Scale - Manual (Page 20)

A. Introduction
The Field Pour module’s installation is much the same as the other models with some
minor variations. The basic procedure is to install the foundation for the scale, install the
base plates, position and level the shoring, install the platform modules with locator tools
in place, pour the deck, cure the concrete, then install the load cells.
B. Concrete Specifications
C. Shoring
The recommended shoring is made up of the provided 4" x 4" timbers 12 feet long. The
crown of the shoring timbers should be up. The actual dimensions of the timbers will
depend on the distance from the foundation floor to the bottom of the modules. Shims
should be placed under each end and center of the shoring beams to achieve proper
elevation. The shoring timbers should be located equally spaced between the load cells.
