Technical Information
1. Supervision and execution for machinery new installation
When a new equipment installation is coming, many agents are involved: civil contractor, machine manufacturer, mechanics crew, supervision and end-user engineers, … It’s not infrequent to observe a lack of coordination among all the particular interests involved. There is a “tax-free area” in between civil and mechanical execution.
As API 686 RECOMMENDED PRACTICES FOR MACHINERY INSTALLATION AND INSTALLATION DESIGN alerts, grouting specialist becomes a key figure to joint both sides in order to provide an adequate equipment installation. There is frequently, lack of concern upon how critical in the way of mechanical reliability a right machine installation may be.
Apoltec provides all services required to achieve that goal, by:
• Concrete foundation / block surfaces preparation
• Anchor bolts’ reservation execution (optional)
• Frame / plates surfaces preparation
• Anchor bolts stretching length isolation
• Equipment rest & mechanical adjustments (leveling, pre-align & final alignment)
• Formwork
• Grouting and mass enrichment (mounting frames)
• Joints sealing
For a proper maintenance, APOLTEC systematically studies the current dysfunctions and regularly carries out analysis, test, and its evaluation in order to determine the pathology progression and severity damage.
Reinforced concrete structures.
Main causes of pathologies: atmospheric gases, salty, acid and selenium waters, organic products and fire
Pathologies: disintegration, ettringit formation, carbonatation, rebar corrosion,…
Main symptoms: cracks, swelling, spilling, colour changes, efflorescence,…
Steel structures.
Chemical, physical, mechanical, even, biological influences trigger out pathological processes derived from material composition and/or the construction design applied.
As main damages we could find laminar tearing, excessive deformations, fatigue, wearing and mainly corrosion and oxidation processes.
Technical solutions.
To disguise the symptoms is not the proper way to confront the problem. It´s requested a thoroughly survey which lead us to discover the core to stop the damage progression, to protect materials, to reinforce where needed for releasing critical stresses and, finally, recoup forms with the best suitable materials.
2. What are the main benefits of using an epoxy grout in a new installation?
The durability of the product leads to a longer useful life of the machinery, improving productivity and providing greater results to the company. A machine cemented with Apoltec Epoxy suffers less forced stoppages throughout its life and saves our customers money and time, especially in corrosive environments.
