Design for Generator foundation pad

Design for Generator foundation pad

(OP)
I am looking for design of generator foundation pad. In calculation of generator pad, what factors to consider. Generator is only 6600 lbs. Area required for footing is not much, but if someone can help regarding some calcs, it's appreciated.

RE: Design for Generator foundation pad

No one here is going to design the pad for you within the realm of this forum, and, frankly, cannot with the limited information you have provided.  

I strongly suggest that you engage the services of a local structural engineer to help with your structural needs.

For your information i am a designer for
the generator pad. What information else is
required, do you need generator kVa's or electrical
information. I think you can suggest me about vibration
loads or something structurally to consider while design ing concrete slab on grade pad supporting generator loading.
