Grout and Resin Applications

Grout and resin application is an essential part of the process of installing machinery foundations. Grout is used to fill gaps between the machinery and the foundation, providing a level surface and preventing the machinery from shifting or moving. Resin is often used as a protective coating for the foundation, helping to prevent damage from exposure to chemicals or other corrosive materials and to seal cold joints.

Our resin and grout applications include:

– Skid installation
– Baseplate Installation
– Concrete Foundation Chemical Protection
– Chemical Anchoring
– Cold Joint Sealing

Grout and Resin Solutions

Skid Installation

Skid installation is commonly used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, and oil and gas.

Skid-mounted machines can have many problems like adjacent concrete slabs with undesired relative movement, stress-related cracks and cold joints amongst others.

To directly address all these problems and achieve the best results, Alphatec Engineering developed the ALPHATEC® 800 High-Performance Epoxy grout. This along with our injection procedure, ensures steel-concrete adhesion and a stable machine.

Correct skid installation can save time and money by simplifying the installation process and reducing the need for future repair work. When done properly by our team, the machinery will be securely mounted and ready for use.
Compared to other mounting methods, base plate-mounted machines are less prone to problems such as stress-related cracks, cold joints, and undesired relative movement between adjacent concrete slabs.

Alphatec Engineering manufactures and supplies the product then installs it. The team specialises in installing and supplying grout for all kinds of skids. These include compressors, hyper-compressors, pumps, diesel engines, and gas turbines amongst others

The innovative ALPHATEC® branded resin-based products that we use can be formulated for different conditions depending on temperature, curing time, loads, or ambient conditions. And no skid is too small or too big for us.

Plus our high-quality materials and expert solutions follow the API RP 686, ACI and GMRC norms and recommendations. No matter what your needs are we will work to accommodate you!

Base Plate Installation

When it comes to installing heavy machinery, precision alignment and stability are critical. That's why base plate installation is common in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and oil and gas.

Compared to other mounting methods, base plate-mounted machines are less prone to problems such as stress-related cracks, cold joints, and undesired relative movement between adjacent concrete slabs.

Proper base plate installation can save time and money by simplifying the installation process and minimising the potential for costly repairs. When installed correctly, your machinery will be securely mounted and ready for use. Our products and procedures help ensure steel-concrete adhesion and a stable machine, reducing the need for future repairs.

Concrete Foundation Chemical Protection

Concrete foundation chemical protection is a method of protecting concrete foundations against chemical attack from substances such as acids, alkalis, and other corrosive materials. This is particularly important in heavy machinery foundations, where exposure to chemicals and other harsh substances is common.

Chemical protection is achieved through the use of various products such as coatings, sealants, and chemical-resistant materials that are applied to the concrete surface. These products form a barrier that helps to prevent chemical penetration and deterioration of the concrete.

Concrete foundation chemical protection is important for several reasons. First, it can help extend the life of the foundation by protecting it from chemical attack that can weaken or degrade the concrete over time. Second, it can help prevent damage to heavy machinery by ensuring that the foundation remains stable and structurally sound.

By using appropriate chemical-resistant materials and coatings, it is possible to help ensure that heavy machinery foundations remain strong, stable, and durable for years to come.

How Can Alphatec Engineering Help You?

Alphatec Engineering can help with your concrete foundation chemical protection needs. Our team specialises in the installation of ALPHATEC® branded resin-based products, including our innovative ALPHATEC® 628TC chemical-resistant coating, which is specifically designed to protect concrete foundations from chemical attack.

We manufacture and supply the product, and our team has the expertise to install and apply the coating to a variety of surfaces. Our products can be formulated for different conditions, ensuring the best possible protection for your specific needs.

No matter what your needs are, we will work with you to provide the best possible solution. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help protect your concrete foundations.

Chemical Anchoring

Chemical anchoring is a commonly used method for securing heavy machinery to concrete foundations. When it comes to heavy machinery foundations, such as those used in manufacturing, construction, or industrial settings, a secure and reliable anchor is critical to ensure the safe and stable operation of the machinery.

Chemical anchoring provides a strong, permanent, and reliable anchor for heavy machinery by using a chemical adhesive or resin to bond the machinery to the concrete foundation. The chemical adhesive or resin creates a strong bond that is resistant to vibration, shock, and other forces that can cause mechanical anchors to loosen over time.

In addition to providing a secure anchor, chemical anchoring also offers several other benefits. For example, it allows for a more precise alignment of machinery, which can improve the performance and efficiency of the equipment. It also eliminates the need for drilling multiple holes, reducing the risk of damage to the foundation and saving time and money.

How Can Alphatec Engineering Help You?

We offer a range of ALPHATEC® branded chemical adhesives and resins that are specifically formulated for demanding industrial environments, including the anchoring of heavy machinery and equipment. Our products offer high bond strength, excellent resistance to chemicals, and outstanding durability, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting anchor.

With Alphatec Engineering, you can be confident that your chemical anchoring needs will be met with reliable and effective solutions that are tailored to your unique project requirements.

Cold Joint Sealing

Cold joints can occur when a new layer of concrete is poured on top of an already cured layer of concrete. The bond between the two layers may not be strong enough, resulting in a cold joint or a weak area in the foundation. This can compromise the strength and stability of the foundation, which can be problematic for heavy machinery.

Cold joint sealing involves the use of a sealing material, such as a joint sealant or an epoxy resin, to fill the gap or joint between the two layers of concrete. The sealing material creates a strong and durable bond between the two layers, reinforcing the foundation and preventing the cold joint from weakening the structure.

Sealing cold joints in heavy machinery foundations is important to ensure the stability and safety of the equipment. Without proper sealing, cold joints can weaken the foundation and compromise the integrity of the machinery. This can lead to costly repairs, downtime, and safety hazards.

How Can Alphatec Engineering Help You?

We use a range of high-quality products, including the ALPHATEC® 342 resin injection system, to ensure that your cold joints are sealed effectively and that your heavy machinery foundation is stable and secure.

Alphatec Engineering can help ensure the safety and stability of your heavy machinery foundation through effective cold joint sealing.
