Step 1 – PREP AND EXCAVATE AREA<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

  1. Mark the location in which the EV Block will be installed (survey as required).<\/li>\n
  2. Excavate to the lines and grades shown on the construction drawings. Excavation may be completed using auger drilling or typical open-cut excavation. Care should be used to minimize over-excavation (unless required) or disturbance of the surrounding soils.<\/li>\n
  3. Excavation limits should extend a minimum of 4 to 6 inches (10cm to 15cm) beyond the edges of the EV Block unit.<\/li>\n
  4. The bottom limits of the excavation should extend at least 6 inches (15cm) beyond the height of the EV Block unit or local frost depth requirement, whichever is greater. The bottom limits should be well compacted and flat to allow for installation of at least a 6-inch-thick (15cm) crushed stone foundation. Greater amounts of crushed stone will be needed in areas where over-excavation to meet local frost depth requirements is required. The crushed stone foundation shall be compacted so as to provide a smooth, hard surface on which to place the EV Block unit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n \n<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
