My concern is exactly the transportation. I am not realy worried for the Jack itself, the problem is with the pumps and the gauges, They are the ones that are not realy robust. At least the ones that they intend to use are not.

My 3 p.
1. The slab thickness is not enough to prevent execive deformations (Span/depth).

There is one reazon why the PT anchors should not be painted.
This will simply prevent you from been able to inspect them later.
