As shown below, you can use 2x4 lumber to make a simple slab form and support the tower base while pouring the concrete. Using a carpenter's level, shim the tower as necessary to get it completely plumb. Fill the hole with concrete. While the concrete is setting up, be certain that all three base legs are parallel. Proper leveling is essential.
The tower is mounted securely on a concrete tower base, which is of square cross section (i.e. a x a) and it extends to a depth, d, below the surface. The dot in the center of the tower base is assumed to be the center of rotation in the soil. In reality, because the soil characteristics vary with depth, this assumption may or may not be suitable.
Place the bottom tower section with base stubs attached into the hole and hold in a vertical position while concrete is poured in. Level the concrete even with the bottom of the base section. NOTE: Since the three legs taper in about 1 degree, check each leg so they are all the same angle using a long level as shown at right.
The DMX tower should be centered in a concrete base of dimensions 1676mm deep by 1676mm square. The base must be reinforced with 10M rebar equally spaced at 305mm O/C as shown below. The rebar must be covered by 76mm of concrete. The base stubs must be submerged 1016mm into the concrete.
