Machinery Installation, Commissioning and Grouting
Reliability is built in the day a machine is installed, yet foundations, grouting and commissioning are often rushed on African projects and expansions. This programme shows maintenance and project teams how to install and commission rotating and static equipment correctly. Delegates learn foundation preparation, levelling, grouting, soft foot correction and commissioning checks that give machines the best possible start to life.
What you will be able to do
Prepare foundations and baseplates to receive new machinery correctly.
Level, position and secure equipment to specification.
Select and apply grout to support and anchor machine bases.
Detect and correct soft foot and mounting distortion.
Carry out pre commissioning and commissioning checks before start up.
Document installation data to support future maintenance and reliability.
