Hurricane Strength Equipment Pads designed to Florida's tough standards!
Overview
Designed specifically for the hurricane prone
regions of Florida and the Gulf Coast, the CladLite® Hurricane pad meets
stringent local code requirements for wind resistance. Heavier than a normal
concrete pad, this pad provides sufficient weight to meet code. These pads have
been designed specifically to meet the intent of the Florida Building Code,
Chapter 16, with respect to wind resistance. Method of attachment tested per
ASCE 7. CladLite® Hurricane pads are suitable for all 130 mph and most 150 mph
installations. For certain taller equipment, the CladLite® Hurricane T pad is
needed. CladLite® Hurricane pads have been declared by the Florida Building
Commission to be an acceptable alternative material to solid concrete slabs for
use in specific applications from Tallahassee to Miami. Approval of the pad is
within the discretion of the local building inspector. DCA02- DEC-183.
