What is the base going on top off? a concrete floor, a timber floor, natural soil?? and how big is the unit/base on plan?
Suspended floor (if known)? also what kind of room is it in (ie commercial plant room, domestic kitchen, hallway in block of flats?
it sounds to me as though you have a regular insulated floor slab.
this ought to be minimum 100mm (4 inches) thick.
this may seem stupid , but how do you know its only 3 inches thick.
have you excavated the area upon which the aga is sitting?

I had to dig into it a few days ago on another project to do with plumbing, but since you have asked I have now measured the depth and the concrete is is 4 inches deep.The area where the Aga will sit already had a base for an Aga but the previous owners of the property had the base at 6 inches which is to high. I have had to kango the based down to floor level and now need to relay the base, its just the strength of concrete that concerns me.
a 100mm cured concrete slab, intact, would easily support the weight of an aga.
who has told you to build a separate base?
does the aga need to sit on an elevated base?

six parts ballast (sand and gravel mixed) to one part cement, mixed together with water.
