3.4 API - ANNEX J

ADD in §Annex

Annex J applies only to onshore installations and does not apply to offshore
installation or floaters.

INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT GROUTING

The metallic baseplate of the skid shall be connected to the concrete foundation by
means of anchor bolts. Equipment shall be positioned on the foundation, aligned and
leveled out, then the anchor bolts shall be grouted inside the concrete.

§J.1 Pre-installation Procedures

Before proceeding to the installation of the equipment, the foundation must be

subjected to both dimensional and curing checks. Afterwards, the foundation bolt
pockets must be cleared of all traces of oil, grease, grime. Any rust, oil dirt, on the
undersides of compressor baseplates must likewise be removed.

The foundation surface to be coated with grout and the foundation bolt pockets must
then be soaked to the concrete saturation point for at least six hours before grouting.
Afterwards, any water remaining on the surface or inside the pockets is to be
removed.

§J.2 Baseplate Positioning

The baseplate includes a certain quantity of levelling screws to facilitate pre-grouting

alignment.
NOTE: SHIMS MUST BE PLACED BETWEEN THE COMPRESSOR SUPPORT PLATES AND
THE BASEPLATES SUPPORTING STRUCTURE

The recommended procedure for setting the unit on its foundation is the following:

A. Install metal washers (1) for the levelling screw (2) on the foundation (see Figure
J-1).
B. Tighten the screws (4) of the levelling plates (5) to the metal base beneath the
baseplate.
C. Slowly position the baseplate, with the equipment installed on it, onto the
foundation. The baseplate is provided with levelling screws (2) and foundation
bolts (3). Adjust the leveling screws to obtain a gap of the size shown on the
Installation and Foundation Drawing between the baseplate and the foundation.
D. Using a precision level, carefully level the baseplate both lengthwise and
crosswise by means of the levelling screws. These must always be evenly
adjusted so that load is equally distributed over all the screws.

E. Grout the foundation bolt pockets, as shown in Figure 6 . A non-shrink grout mix
is recommended.

§J.3 Check of Machine Support Planes and Preliminary Alignment

A. Insert four shims of identical thickness, one between each of the compressor
support plates and its foot. If the compressor is not perfectly in position (i.e. if the
shims slip off) proceed by adjusting the baseplate levelling screws and, if
necessary, the foundation bolts (check first that the grout has set as in Figure J -
1).

B. Make preliminary equipment alignment using a three-dial indicator, face-and-rim

set up, such as the one in Figure J-2. Radial alignment of the shafts is determined
by the rim reading, and axial shaft alignment by the face reading.

C. Ensure that there is proper spacing between shaft ends.

D. Do not connect up the compressor's delivery and suction nozzles to the piping at
this stage.

§J.4 Grouting of skid supports

Proceed as follows:

A. Build a wooden form around each support plate (5) and foundation bolt (see
Figure J-3). The distance from the inside wall of the form to the edge of the
support plate should be approximately 100 mm. The form must be sturdy, well-
anchored, and grout leak proof.
B. Grout the pockets and form as shown in Figure J - 3, making sure to puddle
thoroughly beforehand so that air bubbles are not formed.
C. When, according to the SUPPLIER, the grout has reached proper consistency (not
less than 2 to 3 days and no longer than 8 to 10 days depending on temperature
and humidity conditions), symmetrically loosen the levelling screws (see Figure J-
3).
D. After the curing period has elapsed (i.e., from 8 days in warm weather to 20 in
cold), remove the screws (4) and symmetrically tighten the foundation bolts.

E. Re-check levelling and, if off, correct by means of the levelling screws and
adjusting shims between the baseplate and support plates.
F. When alignment is completed, grout is beneath the baseplate (normal grout mix).
Once the grout has cured, coat the outer edges that come into contact with a

special grout composed of one part cement and two of sand in order to prevent
crumbling.

G. These edges may be further protected with a coat of oil or resin paint.

Figure J - 3

§J.5 Foundation Curing

Check foundation curing time before proceeding with preparation for grouting. Epoxy
grout shall never be poured on “green” or uncured concrete. Concrete must also be
exposed to a drying-out period to ensure that the capillaries are free of moisture and
will provide proper grout bonding.

Concrete foundation surface shall be roughened before grouting in order to assure a

strong cohesion between the two substrates (existing concrete and new grouting).

This procedure will assure that the shear and tensile forces coming from the rotating
equipment will be transferred to concrete foundation. Usually this operation, called
“chipping”, is performed by pneumatic hammer with chisel or by other system as
sandblasting, scarifiers, scabblers or acid etching.

§J.6 Foundation Preparation Prior to Grouting

A weather-protective cover may be necessary during inclement weather conditions.

Wind, sun, rain, and ambient temperatures have a definite effect on the quality of a
grouting installation. During hot weather, the foundation and equipment should be
covered with a shelter to keep the uncured grout from being exposed to direct
sunlight as well as dew, mist, or rain. In cold weather, a suitable covering to allow
the foundation to be completely enclosed shall be constructed. A convective heating
source should be provided so as to raise the entire foundation and equipment
temperature to above 18 °C (65 °F) for at least 48 hours prior to and after grouting.

The edges of the concrete block should be chamfered or radiuses approximately 30°.
Rebar wickets or dowels can also be added to provide mechanical locks between the
epoxy grout and concrete. Both of these techniques will help prevent edge lifting or a
horizontal crack at the grout concrete interface.

§J.7 Grout Forms

All grout forms shall be built of materials of adequate strength and securely anchored
and sealed to withstand the liquid head and forces developed by the grout during
placement.

The inside surfaces of all grout forms shall have three coats of paste wax applied to
prevent grout adherence (prior to their placement on the concrete foundation to
prevent contamination of the grout bonding surface). Oil or liquid wax is not
permitted.

§J.8 Base Grouting

Access holes for grouting should be provided in the skid floor plate by the OEM or
packager. They also provide inspection points to ensure the entire skid is fully
supported. Be sure there are no blind or restricted flow areas in the skid design.
Expansion joints for epoxy grout should be installed in advance (after chipping); they
will serve to break up the grout into smaller sections, thus reducing the probability of
a crack.

To apply the grout, start at one end of the forms and fill the cavity completely while
advancing toward the other end. Pour the grout along only one side of the mounting
plate allowing it to slowly flow under the plate to the opposite side. Do not pour
around the perimeter of the mounting plate as this will cause air entrapment. Do not
vibrate the grout as a means of helping it flow since this tends to separate the
aggregate from the resin binder. Limited use of push tools may be employed to help
distribute the grout, using long strokes rather than short jabs. Violent ramming of
the grout is not permitted.

The grout volume used should be checked against the estimated cavity volume. This
is a good way to check for air pockets and insufficient filling.

Check frequently for grout leaks. Leaks will not self-seal, and if not stopped, will
cause voids.

§J.9 Post-grouting

Typically, three days after the grout has been poured (or less, depending on ambient
temperature), the grout should be of sufficient hardness to remove jackscrews and
grout forms.

Lubricate all anchor bolt threads with mineral oil and torque anchor bolts in
accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
