Concrete generator pad detail

In order to keep generators working properly and up to code, it needs to sit up and away from mud and dirt, which can be achieved by planning and installing a concrete pad.

A concrete pad is the best option for a stable and clean environment for your commercial generator system. A concrete pad used as a foundation for your generator is created specifically for the shape, size, footprint and weight of your generator.

An undersized pad can cause many problems, including:

• Insufficient space to safely install your generator
• Inadequate room for access and maintenance
• Overloading of your pad (this could lead to cracking)
• Legal and regulatory non-compliance issues
• Possible fines or enforced generator shutdown
