Machine base grouting and chocking
Voids, distortion, and gaps under machine feet and pump bases feed vibration and misalignment back into rotating equipment.
What is failing
Voids, distortion, and gaps under machine feet and pump bases leave the equipment standing on a few high spots instead of the whole footprint. That uneven support feeds vibration and misalignment straight back into the rotating element. The bearings and seals pay for it, and a soft foot can pull a pump out of alignment within a run.
How AAS does it
AAS pours a cold-cure chocking compound that flows across irregular concrete or steel and cures into full-contact support under the feet. The pour fills the voids and transfers load evenly, so the machine sits on its real footprint instead of point contact. No machining of the foundation and no hot work near the equipment. We prep the base, set the equipment to alignment, and a Belzona 7111-class chocking system locks it in.
Typically applied with Belzona 7111, matched to the service conditions.
The equipment holds alignment with even load transfer under the feet, vibration drops, and the foundation carries the machine without being cut or re-machined.
How AAS delivers it
AAS performs Machine base grouting and chocking work for Facilities, Oil & Gas, and Petrochemical & Chemical operations across Baton Rouge and Louisiana, cold-applied and in place wherever possible, on your turnaround schedule.
