    being more a builder then a metalsmith i can solve that problem for
    you. bolt the stand into the concrete using dynabolts, 4 at 8mm
    thick should be sufficient. to ease any stress on the stand put a
    further stand at 45 degrees an bolt that into the concrete as well
    joining just under the rolling mill. never having used a rolling mill
    im not sure which direction the stress would be worst but i think if
    you join the 2nd brace directly in front of the first post in the
    direction the mill faces, it would be sufficient to stand a cpl of
    ton force. dont drive your car into it to prove me wrong. 

cheers jim
