Foundations under reciprocating equipment will often deteriorate over time. When this happens, and the foundation subsides, the web deflections in the machinery crankshafts can go beyond the OEM specifications. In the limit, excessive web deflections can cause crankshaft fatigue failures. A common approach to restoring the crankshaft web deflections is a very costly re-grout of the machine. Not only is this type of foundation work costly, it will normally require significant down time and therefore lost production. This paper describes an alternative to foundation restoration work when the current foundation is stable. A case history illustrates the success of this alternative approach.
