Stop Foundation Failures Before They Crash Your Uptime

Precision epoxy grout installation for data center mechanical equipment. When downtime costs £9,000/minute, your foundation is critical infrastructure.

Foundation Failure Is Not an Option in a Data Centre

Data centres run on mechanical infrastructure. When a chiller, generator, or cooling tower foundation fails, the consequences go well beyond the mechanical room.

Alphatec Engineering provides precision epoxy grouting and foundation services for data centre mechanical equipment, ensuring the stability, alignment, and vibration control that critical infrastructure demands.

The Problems

Equipment Misalignment

Poor grouting leaves voids beneath base plates. Equipment shifts. Couplings misalign. Bearings fail ahead of schedule. A generator that fails during a grid outage is not a mechanical problem — it is a facility-level incident.

Vibration Amplification

Incomplete foundation contact amplifies operational vibration through the structure. In a data centre environment, where sensitive IT equipment can be affected by low-level vibration, the mechanical infrastructure should absorb vibration — not transmit it.

Foundation Deterioration Over Time

Cement-based grout cracks, shrinks, and deteriorates under continuous dynamic loading. Voids grow. Anchor bolt integrity is compromised. Undetected foundation degradation in critical mechanical equipment creates risk that does not announce itself until failure.

The Solution

Proprietary Epoxy Grout — AT800 and AT808

AT800 and AT808 are proprietary epoxy grout formulations engineered for heavy rotating equipment foundations. They achieve 12,000 PSI compressive strength and perform reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.

Unlike cement-based alternatives, AT800 and AT808 resist diesel fuel, lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, refrigerants, glycol solutions, and water treatment chemicals, the full spectrum of chemical exposure present in a data centre mechanical plant room.

New Foundation Installations

Precision epoxy grouting for chillers, cooling towers, diesel generators, gas turbines, circulation pumps, and transformers. We follow OEM specifications exactly and supervise all pours to eliminate application errors.

Usable compressive strength is achieved within 24 hours, allowing equipment to be commissioned on accelerated project schedules without compromising foundation integrity.

Foundation Rehabilitation

Existing data centres carry ageing foundations. Alphatec provides comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and repair of deteriorated foundations — including epoxy resin injection to restore voided grout, anchor bolt replacement, and full foundation rehabilitation where required.

We work within planned maintenance windows to minimise production disruption.

Vibration Monitoring with Motion Amplification®

Alphatec uses Motion Amplification® technology to detect and diagnose vibration issues in mechanical equipment that are invisible to the naked eye. For data centre operators, this provides documented baseline monitoring and early identification of foundation-related vibration problems before they cause equipment damage.

Transformer Foundation at Spanish Data Center

A Spanish data center required precision epoxy grouting for cooling tower transformer installations in an exposed outdoor environment with significant day-night temperature fluctuations.

Challenge: Outdoor exposure, thermal cycling conditions, heavy static loads, accelerated timeline.

Stable, permanent support capable of withstanding thermal cycling, heavy static loads, and decades of outdoor exposure. Equipment commissioned within 24 hours of grouting completion.

This demonstrates the critical importance of matching epoxy grout specifications to site-specific environmental conditions in data center applications.

What Our
Customers
Say

“Having used Alphatec Engineering a few times now on different on site projects I really cannot recommend them enough. From planning to completion we continually get a great professional service to accommodate our needs.

Most work is carried out on annual downtime which provides its own obstacles and frustrations however Team Alphatec are always very understanding and obliging when unseen delays and alterations need to be carried out.”
Allan LethamMaintenance Coordinator, Versalis ENI

“We had encountered three significant instances of damage to the foundations of critical equipment, and local civil engineering companies had refused to intervene due to a lack of knowledge. However, Alphatec-Engineering was able to repair these foundations, despite their complexity, all in record time. And we did not require any follow-up visits.

I highly recommend Alphatec-Engineering as they were committed, responsive, and efficient in completing the project. In short, they are a company of grouting professionals.”
Benjamin PochotReliability Specialist, YARA France.

“I must say that we were very impressed with Alphatec Engineering's competence and customer service-oriented approach. They were able to work efficiently and generate feasible solutions in a short amount of time. Additionally, the quality of their 3D illustrations was very impressive. There is no doubt that we will contact them again if we have anything similar in the future.”
Ville PackalénBDM, Services Projects, Wärtsilä

“Alphatec's stand-out attributes are their proactiveness and flexibility. Whilst on-site they go the extra mile and as a trusted partner to Burckhardt Compression, Alphatec Engineering provides assistance and completes the overall scope of work to a very high standard all within the planned schedule.

These attributes were demonstrated recently during a challenging turnaround project involving foundation renovation for two large reciprocating compressors where both companies closely collaborated to achieve the desired results and to the satisfaction of the customer.”
Colin WebbHead of Strategic Partnerships and Market Development, Burckhardt Compression (UK) Ltd

What epoxy grout products does Alphatec use for data centre installations?

ur proprietary AT800 and AT808 formulations, achieving 12,000 PSI compressive strength with resistance to oils, refrigerants, and glycol solutions.

How quickly can equipment be commissioned after epoxy grouting?

Within 24 hours. AT800 and AT808 reach usable compressive strength rapidly, keeping projects on schedule.

Can Alphatec repair existing foundations in an operational data centre?

Yes. We rehabilitate deteriorated foundations within planned maintenance windows, including resin injection, anchor bolt replacement, and full foundation repair.

Does Alphatec provide vibration monitoring for data centre equipment?

Yes. We use Motion Amplification® technology to identify foundation-related vibration problems before they cause equipment damage.
