EQUIPMENT BASES AND BEDPLATES
Equipment assemblies shall be mounted on a single heavy cast iron or welded steel bedplate unless otherwise shown or specified. Provide bases and bedplates with machined support pads, tapered dowels for alignment or mating of adjacent items, adequate openings to facilitate grouting, and openings for electrical conduits. Continuously weld seams and contact edges between steel plates and shapes, and grind welds smooth. Do not support machinery or piping on bedplates other than that which is factory installed. Provide jacking screws in equipment bases and bedplates to aid in levelling prior to grouting. Provide plates of minimum thickness of 6mm. Pump bedplates shall include a drip lip and provisions for directing gland leakage to a single disposal point.
