This invention provides a method of constructing a skid for heavy plant or machinery, the method comprising fastening two rigid end assemblies (8) (only one shown) for the skid to a rigid framework comprising a base and two side walls, passing rods (10) through the end assemblies so that they extend parallel to each other along the length of the framework, filling the framework with concrete, partially curing the concrete, unfastening the framework thereby leaving the end assemblies attached to the concrete, completely curing the concrete and tensioning the rods to stress the concrete between the end assemblies, such tensioning being effected by tightening nuts (11) on the ends of the rods (10). <IMAGE> |
