 Require the Contractor to supply a three-dimensional transfer template for Column-to-Foundation Connection
Reinforcement placement within the C.I.P. Foundation. The Transfer Template provides orientation of bar placement
within the Foundation and orientation of Columns in Multi-Column Piers. In the case of a Multi-Column Pier with a
Precast Cap, the Column spacing and orientation is critical to ensure fit-up. The critical connection is the Precast
Column to Precast Cap; therefore, the Transfer Template for the Foundation is based on the Precast Cap. In this
case, the Foundation is cast following the fabrication of the Precast Cap due to the need of a Transfer Template.
Using a C.I.P. Cap or segmenting the Precast Cap between Columns and using an optional closure pour to connect
the Cap segments allows the Foundation to be cast prior to fabrication of the Precast Cap.
