Machinery Installation, Commissioning and Grouting

Reliability is built in the day a machine is installed, yet foundations, grouting and commissioning are often rushed on African projects and expansions. This programme shows maintenance and project teams how to install and commission rotating and static equipment correctly. Delegates learn foundation preparation, levelling, grouting, soft foot correction and commissioning checks that give machines the best possible start to life.
