7.5. MACHINE/ BASEPLATE INSTALLATION
7.5.1. The base plate will first be positioned and leveled to the required
height leaving a gap to be grouted. The following are several leveling
method commonly used on site.
7.5.2. Threaded Bolt with 2 Nuts – This is a common way to level small
base plates in non-critical applications. The lower nuts under the base
plate can be adjusted up or down the base plate to suit and the top nut
is tightened to “Sandwich” the base plate into position. This method is
NOT recommended after grouting the weight of the machine is still
8
SAUDI ARAMCO 10-00622 6600044086
PLANT LOCATION:
PROJECT: Rev.
SYSTEM
resting mostly on the lower nut and the threaded bolt, post-tensioning is
impossible (tightening) the top nut just squashes the base plate without
tensioning it down.
7.5.3. Metal Shim Plates – A common process used to level large

equipment. The machine is lifted and metal shims are placed between
the base plate and the concrete foundation, then the machine is
lowered on to the shims. However, the shims are removed after
grouting, they will (like the bolt and 2 nuts above) bear most of the
weight and post tensioning is not possible unless the shims are
removed.
7.5.4. Leveling Screw (Bolts) – The best method. Threaded holes are made
through the base plate of the machine. Bolts are threaded into these
holes from the top and the tip of the bolt as well as the nut is resting on
metal pads positioned on the foundation. The bolts are then adjusted up
or down to achieve the correct level of the machine. Then grout is
installed. When the grout is hard enough the bolts can be backed out of
the threaded holes leaving only the grout to support the weight of the
machine. One of the things to make this process a success is to isolate
the thread of the leveling bolts from adhering to the grout (especially
resin grouts) this can be achieved with petrolatum tape or rubber tubing
around the bolts.
7.6. MATERIAL & EQUIPMENT AVILABILITY
7.6.1. An adequate quantity of epoxy grout (i.e., 10-25 percent extra) shall
be on hand before starting to mix and place epoxy grout.
7.6.2. Clean tools, mixing equipment, and safety supplies shall be readily
available at the jobsite.
01 7.6.3. Safety and fist aid supplies shall be readily available at jobsite.
7.7. EPOXY GROUT FORMS
7.7.1. Epoxy grout forms were constructed to be liquid-tight with adequate

strength, rigidity, and dimension to support epoxy grout placement.
7.7.2. Three coats of paste wax shall be applied to the inside surface of
forms to prevent epoxy grout adherence to the forms. Other approved
form release agents or bond breakers may be used as recommended
by the epoxy grout manufacturer. Oil or liquid wax is not permitted.

7.7.3. Epoxy grout form elevation shall be checked to ensure that the top
surface of the epoxy grout will match the elevation shown on the
construction drawings.
7.7.4. Chamfer strips [3/4 inch (20 mm), 45°] shall be installed at each
vertical corner and at the horizontal surface of the epoxy grout forms.
7.7.5. All form joints and interfaces between forms and concrete foundation,
including expansion joints, shall be sealed using epoxy grout
manufacturer’s recommended sealant. If epoxy grout manufacturer has
no recommendations for sealant, use room-temperature vulcanizing
(RTV) silicone sealant.
7.8. EXPANSION JOINTS
7.8.1. Expansion joints shall be incorporated into large epoxy grout pours to
reduce the possibility of cracking, especially when machinery-to-grout
temperature differentials of 30°Care encountered. Expansion joints
should be placed at approximately 1.2 m to 1.8 m intervals in the grout
foundation.
7.8.2. Expansion joints should be made from 12 mm to 25 mm (1/2 in. to 1

in.) thick closed-cell neoprene foam rubber. Polystyrene may also be
used. Ensure that the expansion joint material is compatible with the
grout.
7.8.3. Expansion joints require sealing after the grout has cured with elastic
epoxy seam sealant (liquid rubber) or silicone rubber room temperature
vulcanizable (RTV).
7.9. EPOXY GROUT MIXING & PLACEMENT
7.9.1. The resin and hardener shall be mix at 200-250rpm per the grout
manufacturer's specified time period prior to introducing the aggregate.
There should be no entrained air in the resin/hardener mixture.
7.9.2. Full bags of aggregate shall be slowly added to the blended

resin/hardener liquid and sufficiently mixed to completely wet-out the
aggregate.
7.9.3. Grout shall be mixed in a clean, slow speed (15-20rpm) portable

mixer but not a concrete mixer.
7.9.4. Epoxy grout shall be mixed with the manufacturer's written

requirements including temperature restrictions.

SYSTEM
7.9.5. An adequate quantity of grout ingredients shall be on hand before

starting to mix and place the grout. No partial units of epoxy, resins,
hardener, or aggregate shall be used. Ratios of components shall not
be varied, and solvents shall not be added to change the grout
consistency.
7.9.6. Adequate enclosures or shelter shall be provided for weather

protection to maintain foundation and baseplate temperature within the
acceptable range specified by the grout manufacturer.
7.9.7. Grout placements shall be started at one end of forms, and the cavity
shall be filled completely while advancing toward the other end to
prevent air entrapment.
7.9.8. If epoxy grout is placed through grout holes, the epoxy grout shall be
placed into one hole continuously until the epoxy grout has passed a
second hole. A liquid head pressure shall be maintained at the first
access hole until a head pressure has been established at the next
hole. Epoxy grout placement shall continue from the next hole in a
similar fashion.
7.9.9. If epoxy grout is not placed through grout holes:
• Epoxy grout shall be placed starting at one end of the forms and
filling the cavity completely while advancing toward the other
end.
• Epoxy grout shall be placed along only one side of the baseplate
allowing it to slowly flow under the baseplate to the opposite
side.
7.9.10. Vibration or other forms of dynamic distribution shall not be

permitted.
7.9.11. Unless otherwise specified in the manufacturer's data sheets, grout

shall be applied only when surrounding temperatures (recommended
working temperatures) are between 15°C and 32°C (60°F and 90°F).
7.9.12. All leaks shall be sealed to prevent voids from forming in the grout.
11

1.3 All anchor pockets, sleeves or holes drilled for anchor bolts must be free of water and cleaned from
dust and loose debris using suitable brush or compressed air.
1.4 Steel surfaces should be grit blasted to remove all rust and scale.
Base plate underside preparations:
The underside of the base plate should be clean and free from oil, grease, rust, scale or other loosely
adherent material.
2.0 Formwork
2.1 Ensure that the area to be grouted is clean, before fixing any formwork.
2.2 The formwork itself must be constructed to be water tight (leak proof), to prevent any possible grout loss
from any formwork joints. This can be achieved by sealing underneath the formwork and at the joints by
using appropriate release.
2.3 To obtain maximum flow distance (free flowing grout application), a side shutter feed (feeding hopper) with
100 mm side height should be erected to build the required hydrostatic head.
Note: At 100 mm of head, a flow distance of 1250 and2100 mm can be achieved at gap thicknesses of 40 and 75 mm
respectively @ 35oC ambient temperatures.
2.4 Pouring side: Erect formwork approximately 200 mm from the base plate edge (see sketch below) (i.e. pour
the mixed grout into the prepared forms from one side only to prevent air entrapment).
2.5 The grout should be poured from the shortest distance across the baste plate.
2.6 The formwork should be fixed in such a way as to allow easy stripping, without causing damage or stress on
the grout. Suitable formwork release agent could be used.
2.7 All dust, dirt and any other foreign materials have to be removed from the grout area before the last piece of
formwork is fixed and sealed.
2.8 Opposite the grout filling side: Erect the formwork at least 50 mm above and beyond the base plate edge.
(see sketch below).
2.9 Make air release holes (if necessary) at the highest points within any enclosed areas of the
machinery/equipment.

3.0 Mixing
3.1 A mechanically powered mixer or drill fitted with suitable paddle should be used to ensure proper
mixing.
3.2 Pour all the contents of the hardener pack into the base container. Make sure the hardener container
is fully emptied into the resin component. Mix the two components for 2 minutes until homogenous is
obtained.
3.3 The filler should be gradually added while mixing. Mixing should continue for 3 minutes or until a
uniform consistency obtained.
4.0 Placing
4.1 It is essential that the machine mixing capacity, material supply and labour availability is adequate to enable
the grouting operation to be carried out continuously.
4.2 Apply the grout as immediately as possible after preparation and cleaning to prevent reoxidising/rust
formation on the surfaces.
4.3 Prior to placement, ensure that all surfaces are dry and free from any standing water.
4.4 Always mix only that quantity of the grout that can be used within its pot life. Never reduce the mixing time.
4.5 Continuous grout flow during the grouting operation is essential. Sufficient grout must be available prior to
starting, and time taken to pour a mixed batch must be regulated to the time taken to prepare the next one.
4.6 The grout head must be maintained at all times so that a continuous grout flow is achieved.
4.7 When the grout reaches the open side of the formwork, and rises above the underside of the base plate,
pouring should continue slowly down the length of the base plate until completed.
4.8 In case of using Flo-Grout EPCG for pile head encapsulation, start pouring the grout down the area edges.
Move the pouring point slowly along the perimeter of the area edges; always ensure that the grout has risen
up on the sides.

Notes:
 If temperatures are less than 15oC, the cure rate will be slow, but eventually will go to completion if the
temperatures remain above 5oC.
 Place the grout down/along any slope, not against/up.
 Apply the grout across the shortest width of the equipment/base.
 Height of the epoxy grout: Place sufficient epoxy grout in the forms for it to rise slightly above the underside
(approximately 3 mm) of the base plate.
It is recommended that during placement of the epoxy grout, the level of the grout has to be slightly above
the level of the bottom of the base plate to ensure complete fill of the base. The final height of the epoxy grout
should be finished level with the bottom of the base or only slightly higher.
This will eliminate any subsequent breaking off or edge ‘spalling’ of the grout should the equipment be
subjected to a rapid increase in temperature later on.

Fresh Epoxy Grout after placing Cured Epoxy Grout
5.0 Protection
5.1 On completion of the grouting operation, all areas of grout should be protected from solar heat gain by
providing shade over the whole areas.
6.0 Cleaning
6.1 All tools should be cleaned immediately after finishing using a suitable epoxy thinner. Hardened
materials should be cleaned mechanically.
6.2 Brush away and remove any excess grout into appropriate containers for disposal before it has
hardener.
6.3 Always dispose of excess or waste materials in accordance with local regulations.
7.0 Remarks
7.1 Confirm powder type and availability for the mixing equipment.
www.dcp-int.com
7.2 Calculate the time required for preparing and mixing the epoxy grout and include tis in the program. In
many cases, a two working teams are necessary to supply the feed hopper and to maintain the work
flow. Do not reduce the mixing time, even when in a hurry.
7.3 Check the substrate in advance. Ensure that the substrate is in good condition and clean.
7.4 Do not change the product mixing ratio.
7.5 Do not subject epoxy grouts to sudden temperature changes especially during early curing stages.
7.6 Do not vibrate the epoxy grout during placing.
7.7 Wherever possible unrestrained ‘shoulders’ are to be avoided. These have a tendency to crack and/or
deboned.
7.8 Contact DCP Technical Services Department for advice on control spacing for large base plate grouting
projects.
7.9 This method statement does not include ‘Confined Spaces’ situation. For working in Confined Spaces,
ventilation system must be used and a Confined Space entry permit system should be followed under
supervision from the project health, safety and environment (HSE) department.
Section C : Approval and variations
This method statement is offered by DCP as a ‘standard proposal’ for the application of Flo-Grout EPCG. It
remains the responsibility of the Engineer to determine the correct method for any given application. Where
alternative methods are to be used, these must be submitted to DCP for approval, in writing, prior to
commencement of any work. DCP will not accept responsibility or liability for variations to the above method
statement under any other condition.
