    This document provides instructions for constructing a pad foundation, including marking out the site, excavating soil, adding and compacting hardcore material, installing formwork and reinforcement, pouring and curing concrete in layers, and finally erecting a steel portal frame on top of the completed foundation. The pad foundation is built up in stages by first excavating the site, laying down hardcore for drainage, using formwork and reinforcement to pour a layer of concrete, allowing it to cure before repeating the process to complete the foundation, and finally securing a steel portal frame onto the flat, reinforced concrete pad.
