Pipeline trunnion support
Thread Content
Is it necessary for the foundation at the bottom of the trunnion support on the pipeline to have a certain depth of burial? Can I just build a foundation directly on the ground?
Yes, as long as your surface meets the requirements for the Bracket. I hope I’m right; you’re not a designer. If that’s the case, it’s better to focus on one’s own job; the things that deserve priority attention shouldn’t be these. There is no need to question these things; they have all gone through design approval and are based on **relevant documents and materials. Hehe, it seems like laying a foundation is such a waste, right?:)
Upstairs, you might not have understood what I mean. I’m referring to the fact that generally, a foundation is required for the axle; whether this foundation needs to be buried at a certain depth or if it can simply be built right on the ground surface is part of the design process.
This needs to be determined by the civil engineering team, based on the loads you provide and the geological conditions beneath the ground. If there are few pipes above, it’s sufficient to use expansion bolts in the concrete floor to support a single pipe column. If there are many pipes above and the loads are significant, then the geological conditions must be taken into account; the geological survey report should be reviewed, and it is the civil engineering team that decides on the appropriate depth of burial, which is determined by the conditions of the surface soil. For example, compacted loess used for backfilling requires a different burial depth compared to uncompacted loess; in my opinion, it is still advisable to consult a professional designer.
