There are many methods of installing
pump units to their foundations. The correct method
depends on the size of the pump unit, its location
and noise vibration limitations. Non-compliance with
the provision of correct foundation and installation
may lead to failure of the pump and, as such, would
be outside the terms of the warranty. Ensure the
following are met.
The foundation should be sufficiently rigid and
substantial, to prevent any pump vibration and to
permanently support the equipment at all points.
The most satisfactory foundations are made of
reinforced concrete. These should be poured well in
advance of the installation to allow proper time for
drying and curing.
The foundation mass ratio should be three to five
times the weight of the equipment.
The General Arrangement drawing will furnish
anchor bolt locations, size of bolts, etc.
Fig.2 illustrates a recommended foundation bolt
arrangement. Notice the large washer with lugs at
the bottom. It should be welded to the bolt and pipe
sleeve to prevent turning.

A rough-finish top surface is best when applying
grout. It must be clean and dry before pouring any
grout.
Recommended ambient temperature
should be above 18 ºC (65 °F) during grouting.

4.5 Baseplate [6110] installation
4.5.1 General considerations
The foundation must be sufficiently rigid and must
support the unit at all points. Foundation must be
designed such that structural resonance is outside of
the operating speed range of the pump and driver
[8000].
Before putting the unit on the foundation, thoroughly
clean the top of the foundation. Break off any loose
pieces of cement and roughen the top with a chisel
to afford a good hold for grout. Use epoxy type grout.
4.5.2 Leveling the baseplate [6110]
leveling of equipment is only offered as a general
guideline to the customer. Flowserve Corp. requires
that all leveling of equipment be performed in
accordance with specifications set forth in Chapter 5
'Mounting Plate Grouting' from API Recommended
Practices 686/PIP REIE 686, First Edition; see 10.3.
Make sure that any equipment used to lift the
driver [8000] or any other components is capable of
supporting the total weight encountered. Make sure
that all parts are properly rigged before attempting to
lift.
