Elevator Pit at Perimeter Wall of Building
Elevator Pit at Perimeter Wall of Building
(OP)
Does an interior elevator pit (normal heated building - renovation project), right up against the foundation wall have to be built to frost line depth, or can it be higher. As it turns out the foundation wall is above frost line, quite a surprise!

Like msquared48 says, you can turn down the pit slab at the exterior wall or place another concrete element below it at the exterior wall.
