Equipment Pad Terminology
Equipment Pad Terminology
(OP)
Does anyone know of a word that means "above grade height" for a pad, or is that pretty much as short as I can get it?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Equipment Pad Terminology

RE: Equipment Pad Terminology
For example if existing grade was 107'-9" and the new grade was 110'-0" and the top of slab was 110'-6", they would be denoted
x 107'-9", x [110'-0"], and x [110'-6"], respectively.

The problem is, if I want to discuss this thing, I have no word for it, but I end up describing it. It seems like there should be a word.

I'll try giving "projecting" a whirl and see how it goes. I like "raised" in most cases, but if you had an existing pad that projects say 2" and you wanted to add a little 4" housekeeping pad to bring the projection to 6", using the term "raised" to describe the 6" could be confusing (because it is being raised 4" so that it is "raised" 6" total.)

I have also used "top of slab" and "top of concrete".
