I just had a core sample taken in my proposed brewery site and it showed a 4", very lightly reenforcement, slab over packed earth. I was told by a engineer that this would not hold the weight of full 40 bbl tanks.
Has anyone been faced with this problem, and how did you deal with it. I don't want to have to rip up the floor and lay down a new reenforced slab, and I don't want to add a 4" slab on top of the existing slab if possible.
Does anyone have pricing on this type of excataing work?
I figured 1250 gallons of beer @ 8#/gallon spread over 4, 6" feet. Adding in 5000 pounds for the weight of the tank this would give me 7460# per square foot. Does this sound right?
thanks for any help and advice
