HP POD 20c site assessment checklist

During a survey of the readiness of a proposed customer site for the HP POD 20c, the site is inspected for the following:

Accessibility of machinery for the transportation and installation of the HP POD 20c

Assessment of the suitability of the site infrastructure for installing the HP POD 20c and for supporting infrastructure preparation and serviceability requirements

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 the

 

 

 

 

 

 

review

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 20c installation is indoors or

 

 

 

 

 

 

installation

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 20c 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 20c to ensure that the HP POD 20c is level. If

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

significant shimming is required, shims should be spaced

 

 

 

 

 

 

no less than 1.2 m (4 ft) apart to ensure sufficient load

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

transfer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Materials and

Visually inspect the materials and construction at the

proposed installation site to identify issues that can impact

 

 

 

 

 

 

inspection

the HP POD 20c installation. Verify that the area is adequate

 

 

 

 

 

 

for truck delivery, staging, and crane location.
