A platform system for supporting a piece of operating equipment (18) above grade (20). Piles (12) are installed into the ground (G) with free ends (22) thereof extending above grade (20), and pile caps (14) are coupled to the free ends (22) of the piles (12). Each pile cap (14) includes a cap plate (30) disposed in a generally horizontal orientation. A platform (16) is situated atop the pile caps (14) and includes two longitudinally-extending structural beams (52, 54) and cross beams (80, 82, 84, 86, 88) spanning between the two structural beams (52, 54). Attachment members (50) are secured to and extend outwardly from the outboard side (58, 62) of each structural beam (52, 54). Each attachment member (50) includes a generally flat attachment plate (100) disposed in a generally horizontal orientation and secured to a cap plate (30) of a pile cap (14). |
