Vibration is EVIL
Proper Grouting is GOOD
Vibration is a highly destructive force in heavy industries. End users are running their production equipment faster and longer between maintenance outages. Small vibration numbers get bigger and before you know it, key equipment is going down. Most of the vibration that can be eliminated comes because of an inadequate system for load transfer from equipment to foundation… the grout.
We have the experience and know-how for grouting and setting equipment on a foundation. Many of our peers have the illusion that cementing and grouting are the same operation. They are not. The differences include:
- Dry pack grout or cementitious techniques are water-based and will shrink
- Epoxy has minimal shrinkage
- Epoxy is oil and chemical-resistant
The grouting has to be done right the first time. High vibrations, unusually high wear part usage, unplanned outages, and construction and installation delays are just some of the problems that can occur. The costs can grow exponentially if the problems (high vibration) are found at commissioning, and the unit must be lifted and re-grouted after the plant has been built up around the foundation.
Energy Link has the experience and expertise to grout the equipment correctly. It can also offer to repair problem foundations with minimal downtime.
