Pros and cons of grouting for steel structural foundations of pumps and machines?
Thread Content
What are the disadvantages of grouting for the steel structures of pumps and machinery? The advantages include enhancing the pump’s stability and preventing corrosion of the base. What other advantages are there?
Are there any disadvantages? I mainly want to know about the drawbacks
The disadvantage is the low adhesion between the mortar and the wall, as well as the low density of the mortar?
Does this grouting require special grouting material, or can ordinary concrete mortar be used? ? ?
I’m not sure what the advantages are; I only know that the stability of the foundation increases after grouting, and vibration problems with the pump are eliminated. You can refer to this post: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1789811-1-1.html
The biggest advantage for the operator is that it’s easy to clean. In case of a seal leak, if something gets into the base, it’s extremely difficult to clean up
High cost, high precision requirements, and difficulty in modification.
