Concrete General Notes and Typical Details

PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES

In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has

been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major industrial

users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical requirements

into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering costs to both the

purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While this Practice is expected to

incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual applications may

involve requirements that will be appended to and take precedence over this Practice.

Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters or application of the

Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not be made solely on

information contained in these materials. The use of trade names from time to time should

not be viewed as an expression of preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the

trade. Other brands having the same specifications are equally correct and may be

substituted for those named. All Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with

applicable laws and regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these

Practices or guidelines should conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations,

such laws or regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before

applying or acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice.

This Practice is subject to revision at any time.

requests for quotation/ purchase orders or requests for proposals/contracts) and preparation

and issue of design engineering deliverables for use on a specific project by Authorized

User’s client. PIP’s copyright notices must be clearly indicated and unequivocally

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

This Practice provides concrete general notes and typical details for use in conjunction

with design drawings and project specifications.

1.2 Scope

This Practice provides typical details for concrete pads for ladders and stairs, octagon

foundation drains, ledger and curb angles for grating and floor plate; and describes

clearances and spacing requirements for reinforcing steel for foundations and structural

columns and beams. General concrete notes are provided to supplement the requirements

shown on design drawings and project specifications. Abbreviations commonly used on

design drawings are also listed in this Practice.

2. References
