SVCN 7 INSTALLATION, OPERATION, & MAINTENANCE
2.1.5 GROUTING
NOTE
The foundation must be allowed to cure for at least 7 days
before grouting the baseplate.
Build a dam around the foundation as shown in Figure 2-5 after leveling the baseplate. If wedges
were used to level the baseplate, it is a matter of local policy whether the wedges should be removed
after grouting. If you wish to remove the wedges, carefully mark their locations before pouring grout.
Finished Grout
Leave top of foundation rough,
do not finish with trowel.
Dam
Concrete
Grouting 1 to 2
inches deep
Figure 2-5 Grouting Baseplate
Use a good, high strength, non-shrink grout mix and install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Holes are provided in the baseplate to permit pouring the grout and to act as air vents. Fill under the
baseplate completely, stirring to assure correct distribution of the grout. Check to see that the grout
flows under the edges of the baseplate evenly. Make sure the baseplate is vented correctly and all
areas are thoroughly filled to prevent any resonant problems. Pour grout until level reaches top of
dam. Allow to dry sufficiently to prevent grout from overflowing while completing the remaining
grouting.
NOTE
Do not vibrate baseplate when grouting.
When the grout is thoroughly hardened, remove the dam. If the leveling wedges are removed, fill the
holes they leave with grout.
2.2 SHAFT ALIGNMENT
