Vertical Turbine Pump Pedestal
(OP)
Is there a rule of thumb on size/weight for a concrete pedestal supporting a vertical turbine pump? This is a booster pump application with the pump in a 10' deep barrel.

RE: Vertical Turbine Pump Pedestal
For a rule of thumb contact the manufactureror or check out their design guidelines,otherwise, you'll have to determine all external forces and moments on the concrete pedestal and the type of base on which you'll have for the pedestal. Vibratory and starting forces and alignment may also have to be considered. Reinforcement of the concrete pedestal and anchoring of the equipment would need to be considered.
