 Excavation and sub-base already prepared by customer or his contractor. |
 Plenty of space to get this one lowered into position. Not always the case though. |
 Steady as she goes. |
 Finished Floor poured. |
 Equipment installed, floor painted. |
 Signed off by DVSA and Testing. |
This example MOT Bay installation was in a newly built industrial unit with the customer wanting to be pro-active with all elements of the build himself.
We supplied the inspection pit direct to the premises and were available to answer and assist with any questions or queries the customer may have had during the build period.
Due to the time period of the build and the fact the roof was off for a while, the customer ordered the inspection pit in "primer only" and completed the internal painting after the buildings floor was laid and the building had been completed.
NOTE.
Many of the Inspection Pits we supply are going into an existing
building so the installation is slightly different.
The floor is likely to require cutting for access.
In this type of scenario, we are more than happy to supply metal bearers, so during the installation,
the inspection pit can be suspended from an existing floor, see sample photos below.
The workshop floor has been cut by the contractor using a diamond cut saw machine.
The spoil from the hole in the floor has been removed and moved away from the area.
This inspection pit was supplied to the customer with the option of the steel bearers shown.
Once the inspection pit has been lowered into position and its location finalised, the services duct can be connected and pouring of the concrete can commence.
Note: Its always advisable to carry out the concrete pour in three to four separate pours.
Failure to do this could result in the inspection pit breaking out of the ground and floating on the wet concrete like a boat!!!!
