Rotaryeqpt
Mechanical
We, while in our project stage have noticed that all our cvil foundations for installation of Rotating eqpt- have invariably have "cast in place " anchor bolts. The 'Cast In Place" anchor bolts are being provided with sleeves or without sleeves( Refer API 686 ). But the Installation standard talks much about these types abut very much silent about Pocket foundations- (which are provided with pockets only- anchor bolts are grouted when the machine is placed and roughly leveled and fairly located on the foundation
)
1. Is Pocket grouting of anchor bolts is not permitted by the standards?
2. if it is permitted, then I would like to know the particular standard and its references.( preferably in the context of Middle East ).
3. which is more preferable- cast in place anchorage Or Pocket grouting of anchor bolts?
4.API 686 is silent on the pocket grouting- and do not explicitly bans it! What is implied from this??
