An apparatus for a removable inductive power pad is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame with an opening in a top surface of the frame, and includes a removable pad with an inductive power transfer (“IPT”) pad embedded therein. The IPT pad is shaped to transmit power to a receiver pad positioned above the removable pad. The removable pad is sized to conform to the opening, where the opening of the frame is shaped to support the removable pad and the removable pad and the opening are sized so that a top surface of the removable pad is substantially level with the top surface of the frame. When the frame is located in a roadway, the frame and removable pad mounted in the opening of the frame are rated for vehicular traffic to drive over the frame and/or the removable pad without damaging the frame or the removable pad.
