<p>A support assembly for a drive mechanism adapted to drive a force transmitting shaft having a soil penetrating head with a geothermal conduit loop attached thereto into the ground under an existing basement concrete floor of a building structure, through a hole formed in the concrete floor. The support assembly may also be secured to opposed transverse foundation walls adjacent the building structure and outside the structure in a small excavated hole. The support assembly comprises a support platform formed of platform sections having interconnecting flanges for interconnection together. Attachment flanges are also provided at opposed ends of the support platform for detachable securement to a respective one of opposed transverse foundation walls adjacent the concrete floor whereby the support assembly extends diagonally between the opposed transverse walls when mounted internally in a basement of the building structure. When secured to the outside of the opposed transverse foundation walls, one of the beam sections extends outwardly from the opposed transverse foundation walls a predetermined distance to suppor+-t the drive mechanism spaced from the foundation walls.</p> |
