I poured a base for a short tower over the weekend. I'm installing a Rohn
clone tilt-over base plate. After the pour, a thin sheet of plywood and the
base plate was used to align 6 J-bolts in the wet concrete. I guess I must
have leaned on the center of the template because after removal of the
template, there is a nice 3/16-1/4 in. slump at the middle of the base which
collects and holds water. But as hard as I tried to foul this pour up, the
base is dead level. Case of luck beats skill I guess. Now I'm afraid of water
will collect and freeze under the base plate and cause havoc. Is there skim
coat material available that I could trowel on to remove the slump? Should I
just leave it as is and not worry about it.
Tom, K3GM
