Pre-cast tower crane foundation

Pre-cast tower crane foundation

Pre-cast tower crane foundation

(OP)
I am currently looking into pre-casting a towercrane foundation so that this can be re-usable.

The towercrane manual usually specifies the foundation details depending on the soil bearing capacity and the tower height.

Queries :

1.) Are there tips or web sites that you can lead me to learn more on this topic?

2.) What are the things to consider in converting the manual design to pre-cast?

3.) Has anyone done this before? How did you go about it?

For all the great tips... thank you!
