Rotating Equipment Foundations
Cracks in rotating equipment foundations can diminish the structural integrity of the foundation, leading to reduced operational capacity, shorter service life and ultimately, loss of money for the plant. In addition to cracks in the foundation, other challenges that may occur include new construction defects and embedded metal corrosion, among other things.
Whether installing new equipment – either in current operating units or on green field projects – or performing repairs on existing equipment, Structural Preservation Systems (SPS) has the knowledge and experience to solve rotating equipment foundation challenges safely and efficiently using a variety of methods. SPS teams become involved in the solution process early to help develop the project scope and determine the best repair or installation strategy.
