Re: Foundation under the oven Thanks for the advice guys.
I didn't give any great detail above, so I apologize. This oven is being constructed inside a building that was originally built as a 59,000 sq ft Ames department store. The oven will be built on top of the existing poured concrete floor. I'm a bit concerned that the floor as it sits, will not be able to withstand the weight of the oven. Perhaps it will, but I don't like to take chances in situation like this if I can prevent a future catastrophic "event" if I go heavy duty now. I just don't know if I can trust a floor that may only be 4" thick. Am I being paranoid, or should I cut concrete and put a suitable foundation under this thing? |
