Different Installations Need Different Concrete
A project may involve concrete support areas, a slab, a pit, approach sections, or other specified elements. The scale supplier's drawings help establish the required configuration. Scale suppliers often call the concrete support areas the scale foundation.
Approaches and Drainage Deserve Attention
The entry and exit areas are part of the project conversation. Site levels, vehicle access, drainage, and the selected scale's requirements need to work together.
Know Who Does Each Part
Confirm who supplies the drawings, who provides any required engineering, who installs the scale, and who puts the equipment into service. C&M’s written estimate identifies the concrete work we will perform.
Send the scale information, drawings, site location, and requested concrete scope together.
