Foundation design and construction for Pre-Engineered Buildings are important to the assembly process. To ensure optimum integrity of new building, the foundation must meet certain design criteria and load conditions. It is required that all building foundations be designed by an experienced foundation engineer, and coordinated with all local city, county and state codes. Improper foundation construction will limit the building’s performance. The foundation should be sharply formed with true corners, straight sides, and a level top. This will allow for proper seating and alignment of all building components. Strict adherence to OSHA and other local codes or laws governing “shoring of excavation to prevent accidental cave-ins” is critical.
