Why does my industrial facility need machine base foundations? Won’t regular concrete flooring be enough?
Standard concrete flooring is not engineered to absorb the concentrated forces generated by heavy machinery. Without a reinforced base to distribute the machine's weight, the surrounding concrete can crack or buckle over time, creating a safety hazard and potentially causing machinery to malfunction or fall out of calibration.
Machine base foundations are reinforced with meticulously laid rebar before we pour any concrete. The rebar allows the machine weight to be evenly distributed without placing too much force on a single spot.
Machine Base Flooring Replacement
If your company has been in business for years, the flooring under your machinery has likely weakened over time. The machine might begin to “sink” as the original flooring can no longer support the full weight. Or you may begin to notice cracks emanating from beneath the machine. This is all a result of the operating equipment damaging the ground it’s on, including the building foundation.
A brand-new, reinforced base for your machinery is the best replacement option. Dornbrook concrete contractors will handle every step of replacing your broken and damaged floor with a stronger foundation.
