Pads are a building code item taken out of chapter 9 and #20 because many manufacturers are different. Rule of thumb. Pad is required, grouting dependent upon manufacturers base design. Pad (and grout) should assume 3x the mass (weight) of driving equipment and extend a minimum of 6” beyond doweled anchors on all sides.
