4.2 Baseplate-mounting procedures

4.2.1 Prepare the baseplate for mounting

This procedure assumes you have a basic knowledge of baseplate and foundation design and installa-
tion methods. Follow industry-standard procedures, such as API RP 686/ PIP REIE 686, or this proce-
dure before you grout the baseplate.
1. Make sure that all baseplate surfaces that will contact grout are free from contamination such as
rust, oil, and grime.
2. Thoroughly clean all baseplate surfaces that will come in contact with grout.
Make sure to use a cleaner that will not leave residue.
NOTICE:
• You may need to sandblast the surfaces of a baseplate that come in contact with grout,
and then coat those surfaces with a primer that is grout-compatible. Make sure to re-
move all equipment before sandblasting.
•
3. Make sure that all machined surfaces are free from burrs, rust, paint, or any other type of contami-
nation.
If necessary, use a honing stone to remove burrs.

NOTICE:
Remove all dirt from the mounting pads in order to ensure that the correct
leveling is achieved. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or de-
creased performance.
