Hi all
Please, help me soon, I am really in trouble, we are in a project for wasterwater treatment plant, I came late on this project and now implementing a design which is not mine.

however, I made a mistake, I did not check the drawings very well, which comes at the end that the pumps with bases, are out of the concrete plingth. the only easy suitable solution now is to move the pumps with bases back so that part of the steel base and the motor will be out of the conceret, is it matters so much?, to how extent can I do that?. Do I need to insist to make other concrete extension and move the pumps on it. which will take so much time and make a penality on the job. Please, help

Regards

It should be possible to design and provide a cantilever extension for the foundation such that entire portion of pump base and motor are within the foundation.
