<p>Our bin guys won't pour a pad with forms less than 24" and about 10" thick in the center these days.  Bins tend to settle a few inches over time, and having the 2' forms allows for some setting but that way a guy can use a straight out sump and still get an auger hopper under it. Four or five years ago they were using 16" and you needed an incline to get much of a hopper under them especially after they settled a few inches. These are on 42' 7-ring bins but they like that 2' equation for anything smaller as well.</p><p> </p><p>My bad, I thought most would naturally understand that it wasn't that thick from edge to edge. Pi$$ poor wording on my part.</p>
