inspect the installation site in detail (mainly referring to the geological conditions
and environmental climatic conditions, etc.). Commence the design and
construction of the foundation only after confirming that all requirements are met.

Unreasonably constructed foundation will bring great troubles to the installation of the ESS,
affecting the normal opening and closing of the doors and the normal operation. Therefore,
the foundation of the ESS must be designed and constructed according to certain standards
to meet the requirements of mechanical support, cable routing and later maintenance and
overhaul.
At least the following requirements shall be met during foundation construction:

• The soil at the installation site should be compact.

• Compact and fill the foundation pit to provide sufficient and effective support for the
container.

• Raise the foundation to prevent the container base and the interior from rain erosion.

• The cross-sectional area and height of the foundation should meet the requirements.

• Construct corresponding drainage in conjunction with local geological conditions.

• Built a cement foundation with sufficient cross-sectional area and height. The foundation
height is determined by the construction party according to the site geology.

• Consider cable routing when building the foundation.

The dregs excavated during foundation construction should be removed


immediately to avoid latter impact on lifting.

• Built a maintenance platform around the foundation to facilitate later maintenance.

• During the foundation construction, reserve enough space for the AC/DC side cable
trench according to the position and size of the cable inlet and outlet holes of the BESS
and PCS, and pre-embed the cable conduit.

• Determine the specifications and quantity of the perforating gun according to the model
and quantity of the cables.

• A drainage system is necessary to prevent the bottom or internal equipment of the ESS
from being soaked in water during the rainy season or during heavy rainfall.

• Both ends of all embedded pipes should be temporarily sealed to prevent impurities from
entering and causing troubles to later wiring.

• After all cables are connected, cable inlet and outlet and connector should be sealed
with fireproof mud or other suitable materials to prevent rodent access.
