Pump Base Plates Water Treatment
Plant
 Impulse
response tests were conducted on thebase platesof the vertical pumps
used in the water treatment plant. The gap between the metal plate
of the pump and the concrete foundation was supposed to becompletely
filled with epoxy grout. There were some concerns regarding the grout
condition and therefore tests were conducted to detect possible voids.
Impulse response tests were conducted at 32 equally spaced locations
along the circumference of each base plate. The results indicated
non-uniform condition of the grout. Results were verified by observing
the condition of the grout after removal of the pumps. |
