Weighbridge Stability using Concrete Bored Piers

posted in: Weighbridges | 0

During July 2012 Australasia Scales supplied, installed and Trade Verified a 20m x 3m above ground weighbridge at a Waste Transfer Station in Kingaroy.

The galvanised, fully hot dipped concrete deck infill weighbridge is supported by 6 heavy duty CAS WBK canister type load cells, with in-built lightning protection and IP68 rated dust and water proofing in each. In addition we also supplied and fitted two Rinstrum D740 External Remote Displays for bi-directional use of Weighbridge, and a Rinstrum R420 indicator fitted with RS485 modules to rely the weight signal to the displays.

Qualified Geotechnical and Structural Engineers recommended 6m deep concrete bored piers be placed beneath each load point to ensure Weighbridge stability from the soil test results. These tests indicated sufficient stable founding circumstances for the Weighbridge were not available in the fill soils and sub-surface refuse material.

This Weighbridge is to be predominantly used as a bi-directional Weighbridge and to satisfy OH & S regulations two removable galvanised walkways were supplied and fitted to protect drivers safely exiting and re-entering their vehicles while being parked on the Weighbridge.
