Elevator sump basin
Elevator sump basin
(OP)
I'm working on a project with a few elevator sump basins that are much lower than adjacent foundation work. In lieu of dropping the adjacent footings below the basin does anyone have experience with having the basin be designed for foundation pressures?

In my part of the world, the terminology is a little different. The elevator pit is the big thing with equipment in it. And, elevator pits usually have a sump for a waste (storm?) water pump.

I was questioning whether I could specify that the basin be designed for foundation pressures. Sounds like that's not the best road to travel.
