HP POD 40c G2 site assessment checklist

During a survey of the readiness of a proposed customer site for the HP POD 40c G2, the site is inspected for the following:

•Accessibility of machinery for the transportation and installation of the HP POD 40c G2

•Assessment of the suitability of the site infrastructure for installing the HP POD 40c G2 and for supporting infrastructure preparation and serviceability requirements

HP responsibilities

Item

Description

Sign-off

 

 

 

 

 

1. Engagement plan

Develop an engagement plan with specific

 

 

 

requirements relating to the proposed installation site.

 

 

2. Site visits

Schedule site visits on mutually acceptable dates,

 

 

 

during normal HP business hours.

 

 

3. Test equipment

Document any test equipment used in the customer

 

 

 

report.

 

 

4. Installation site

Review and discuss the proposed installation site with

 

 

review

the customer. This initial review includes physical

 

 

 

examination of the proposed installation site and, at

 

 

 

the sole discretion of HP, can include physical

 

 

 

measurements of the area size and clearances.

 

 

5. Indoor/outdoor

Identify whether the HP POD 40c G2 installation is

 

 

installation

indoors or outdoors as this can affect the degree and

 

 

 

type of infrastructure required and the mounting needs.

 

 

6. Site pad

Inspect the proposed installation site to assess

 

 

 

compliance with the HP POD 40c G2 mounting

 

 

 

specifications. Ensure that the customer is fully aware

 

 

 

of the following requirements:

 

 

 

• Proper support capabilities must exist. If the

 

 

 

customer intends to edge or point load on the utility

 

 

 

and cargo ends, there must be support in the center

 

 

 

to prevent deflection.

 

 

 

• Upon installation, the POD structure must be

 

 

 

leveled to ≤ 0.5º, which can be checked at that

 

 

 

time with a surveyor’s transit.

 

 

 

• Shimming is allowed around the perimeter of the

 

 

 

POD.

 

 

 

• Place shims in increments across the length of the

 

 

 

HP POD 40c G2 to ensure that the HP POD 40c

 

 

 

G2 is level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Materials and

Visually inspect the materials and construction at the

 

 

construction

proposed installation site to identify issues that can

 

 

inspection

impact the HP POD 40c G2 installation. Verify that the

 

 

 

area is adequate for truck delivery, staging, and crane

 

 

 

location.
