3.6. SITE INSPECTION
Before accepting the completed work of the
contractor, check the following points.
3.6.1. Pit/ Foundation
• All concrete work MUST conform to standards set
forth by the
American Concrete Institute Code.
• Measure the pit/ foundation dimensions carefully, then compare those figures with
the Fairbanks Certified Drawings. If there are ANY discrepancies, contact
the construction contractor IMMEDIATELY. Use Appendix II Foundation
Checklist.
• The pit floor must be constructed so that no standing water accumulates.
• The approaches must be of correct height and level with the top of the pit wall.
• Check for correct pier elevation and for smooth, even tops.
• Check that a proper sized conduit is provided through the pit wall, below the frost
line, at the location nearest the scale house and instrumentation.
• If AC power is required in the pit, for lighting or for a pump, the line must be in a
separate, 1" conduit, at least 36" from the weight signal cable conduit.
• Check that the scale pit ground rods are installed in the correct location and
project through the pit floor to the correct height. The scale pit ground rods must
be driven into the earth at the bottom of the pit and tied to the rebar before the
floor is poured. This assures the easiest installation and deepest possible
penetration.
3.6.2. Scale House
• Install the Surge Voltage Protection Outlet Box (11341).
• It is recommended that the Indicator is on a dedicated circuit with a separate
circuit breaker.
• The Instrumentation should not be subject to direct sunlight, or in environmental
conditions for which it is not intended.
NOTE: See Appendix II for Foundation Checklist.
