Technical Design Experts for Industrial Weighing Solutions
JEHT Design specializes in the design of custom, heavy-capacity weighbridges and site-specific foundations. We are experts in developing systems that provide an exact fit for the application.
Our mission is to develop professional, cost-effective, industrial weighing solutions that satisfy the project requirements and industry standards. This includes gaining a complete understanding of weighing operations as well as the overall facility processes.
Understanding the process is just as important as the scale
Sometimes the initial selection of a scale and its location doesn't satisfy the process or application. In fact, a completely different scale and/or location is often the end result. JEHT Design can be trusted to develop a weighbridge design and if necessary, a site specific foundation design, that meets the requirements of the project and facility processes.
After the weighbridge and foundation designs are completed, the steel must be fabricated, the foundation has to be constructed and the system must be properly installed. We can assist you in the selection of a qualified fabricator and provide on-site monitoring for construction and installation. All design documentation will include detailed instructions and procedures with the end result being a timely and seamless installation.

40+ Years Heavy Industry Experience
John Holleman, JEHT Design's principal, has been designing and building heavy-capacity weighbridges and foundations for over forty years. This includes both standard and custom designs in many industries including rail, metals, chemical, mining, petroleum and grain.
John's industrial weighing experience and expertise will assure that you are provided with the optimum weighing system equipment.
Custom, Heavy-Capacity Weighbridge Designs

We have 40+ years experience designing a wide-range of industrial weighing solutions; from fitting a new weighbridge into the envelope of an existing pit to engineering a one-of-a-kind weighbridge installation.
Our weighbridge design process includes a thorough review of the project's criteria and its application. We will examine any possible site restrictions and identify loading conditions that may affect the final configuration. These conditions can include unusually high concentrated loading, repetitive impact loads, excessive side load forces and more.
Standard Documentation Package
Fabrication in process, ready for painting and shop assembly.
The weighbridge and its components must be detailed for fabrication, assembly and installation. Our standard documentation package includes professional shop fabrication drawings, detailed field assembly instructions and an installation manual. This will ensure your weighbridge solution is properly installed, fully-functional and completed on time.

Complete Development for Custom and Standard Foundation Designs
If your project requires a foundation and support structure that is the right fit for a particular scale site, JEHT Design is your best source for a custom design that satisfies this need.
A properly designed and constructed foundation is critical to the long term, accurate operation of the weighing system. This includes the concrete, rebar and the support structure beneath the foundation.
The foundation is more than just the rebar and concrete.
The first step is the completion of a site geotechnical investigation. We will consult with the project's geotechnical engineer to assure the proper design criteria is utilized in the foundation's support structure.
Depending upon the local soil conditions, the proper foundation support design could range from simple sub-grade compaction to an extensive engineered sub-base to piling.

Armed with the geotechnical data, we will complete a design analysis and then develop both the foundation support system details along with a compatible foundation design.
Site-specific adjustments can be made for standard foundation designs
In many cases, the project's site could require modifications to a scale manufacturer's standard foundation design. This could be existing structures that need to be accommodated, customer material/construction specifications, special drainage requirements and more. We can provide site-specific, detailed adjustments to make standard designs fit a particular site.
This weighbridge foundation was designed to fit within an existing silo foundation footprint.
The final package, for custom and standard designs, will include all details required to construct both the support structure and the foundation. The end result will be a completed foundation system that is properly designed for both the weighing application and the local conditions.

Detailed Field Evaluations for New and Existing Systems
JEHT Design's equipment evaluation and site survey reports are an objective overview that outlines the best solutions for the weighing application.
Weighbridges and foundations deteriorate over time. It's not unusual that at some point a repair or replacement decision is needed.
JEHT Design can provide a detailed field evaluation of existing systems. This includes an on-site inspection of existing structures and a detailed report that will outline the "as found" condition.
We will also document the short and long-term structural integrity of the existing system and provide a formal recommendation for repair or replacement.
New weighing system installations are a significant investment
It is absolutely critical that the right equipment is installed in the right location to satisfy the requirements of the application.
JEHT Design will gain a complete understanding of the weighing operations as well as the overall facility processes. We will complete a detailed survey that includes the site's configuration and restrictions.
The final report for new installations will include:
*An estimate for the weighing equipment can also be included in the field survey report by request.
