(c) Requirement of platforms and access to platforms.Ī) Level of the bottom of base plate of the equipmentĭetails to be obtained from underground drawingsī) Electrical and instrument duct banks and other u/g services.Ĭ) Locations and extent of adjacent foundations. Location and extent of adjacent new structures and foundations not otherwise shown in the above-referenced drawings shall be verified. Generally foundation design loads shall be based on data provided by equipment Supplier including Wind and Seismic loads. However for preliminary design Civil engineer shall calculate the load based on the principles described in this design note. When final loading data for the equipment becomes available Civil engineer shall check the support reactions based on the principle described here. Any large discrepancy between these two results shall be brought to the attention of the equipment design group/ Vendor.
