    between the deck coping and the pit wall. Remove spacers after the concrete has set and before the scale is put into service. NOTE: Install the 3/4" bolts or shim stock and space at equal intervals between the deck coping and the pit wall coping before welding as shown in the drawing on the right.

    Curing the Completed Concrete Deck The concrete deck must be maintained in a moist state for at least seven days for a satisfactory cure. If the top surface of the deck is allowed to dry during this time, the finished surface will be prone to unsightly spalling and be weakened from surface cracking.
