ENGINEERED BUILDING
Foundation design and construction for Pre-Engineered Buildings are
important to the assembly process. To ensure optimum integrity of new
building, the foundation must meet certain design criteria and load
conditions. It is required that all building foundations be designed by an
experienced foundation engineer, and coordinated with all local city, county
and state codes. Improper foundation construction will limit the building’s
performance. The foundation should be sharply formed with true corners,
straight sides, and a level top. This will allow for proper seating and
alignment of all building components. Strict adherence to OSHA and other
local codes or laws governing “shoring of excavation to prevent accidental
cave-ins” is critical.
Check the foundation is square and level. Measure diagonally to the farthest
points of the foundation frame / string-line. Adjust the frame / string-line as
necessary until the two diagonal dimensions are equal. If the diagonal
lengths are equal, the framing is square. Ensure the foundation is level.
All anchor bolts should be held in place with a template or similar means in
order to maintain a plumb setting during the pouring of the concrete. Refer
to the anchor bolt plan dimensions then make the necessary quantity of
templates out of plywood or equivalent. All templates should be prepared in
advance so they can be quickly nailed in place. Drill air relief holes in the
template to allow trapped air to escape. When floating concrete, vibrate until
wet concrete seeps though the top of air relief holes. A final inspection of all
foundation requirements should be conducted prior to pouring concrete.
