Installing QUAZITE® pads is easy
and cost effective because it requires no special equipment
to set the pad. A backhoe is all that is necessary to lift
the pad into place. QUAZITE® pads also save time during
installation. Unlike poured-in-place pads that can take hours
or days to form, pour, set and remove the forms, QUAZITE® pads
can be installed in a matter of minutes and installation
of electrical equipment can begin immediately after the pad
is set.
The optional SPLITT-PAD® design makes retrofit
installations easy and eliminates the need to disconnect service
during installation. Simply break away the old concrete or
other material underneath the equipment cabinet and slip the
SPLITT-PAD® underneath. Complete the installation by bolting
the two-piece pad together at the throat. For more detailed
instructions on how to install the SPLITT-PAD® and other
QUAZITE® pads, CLICK
