FOUNDATION BEARING PLATES
The foundation bearing plate of the Lindsey Emergency Restoration Structure is made form structural aluminum and is designed to be placed directly on the ground. The foundation bearing plate weighs 555 pounds and provides 25 square feet of bearing surface. It can be secured in place with reinforcing bars driven through the corners. A more permanent foundation can be provided by placing the foundation bearing plate directly over a buried anchor.
Four
one inch diameter reinforcing bars were used to secure this foundation.
Foundations secured in this manner have remained in service for over two and one
half years.
