A large concern for this project was how long the whole process would take. It was clear the system needed a new foundation, but the company could not have much downtime because the scale was crucial to their day-to-day business. A plan was put together by the team at BSI Indianapolis to utilize the brand new rental portable scale they had in stock to get the transfer facility the scale that they needed.

The process began with a 72x11 portable Centurion scale with sight rails and ramps being placed nearby. From there the team at BSI removed and disposed of the old, broken, scale. The old foundation had to be excavated and a local company was hired to pour a new foundation. The new foundation included 10ft approaches, and 30ft long ramps with a 6-in curb on the walls per a customer safety request.

On the day of install, to eliminate any sort of downtime, BSI Indianapolis turned to a customer next to the transfer station and got permission for them to run their trucks over a B-TEK Scale that had previously been installed.

With the facility still able to run its trucks, the team got to work moving the portable scale to the new permanent foundation. The bulkheads and ramps from the portable scale were taken away. The Centurion scale included a scoreboard with a stoplight as well as a wooden deck that was built to allow drivers to hop out and walk directly from the scale to the scale house and grab the ticket.

It was a lengthy process that had a lot of moving parts, but it all came together to create a great experience for the customer that met all of their needs.
