Abstract:
A corrosion resistant machine foundation comprising:a) precast vertical panels of an aggregate filled thermosetting resin defining an enclosed hollow form, each of the two side edge portions of each vertical panel intersecting one of the two side edge portions of an adjacent vertical panel at a predetermined angle and forming therewith a corner of said enclosed hollow form;b) means within said hollow form defining at each said corner a barrier extending across and spaced from said corner from one vertical panel to an adjacent vertical panel and from the bottom of the hollow form to a predetermined height that is less than the height of the two adjacent vertical panels to form a vertically extending chamber;c) a portion of the bottom of the vertically extending chambers and said hollow form being filled with a cementitious material within the area of the hollow form between all of the vertical panels and each of the barriers to the top of each said barrier;d) each of said vertically extending chambers and the remaining area within said hollow form above said predetermined height of said barriers being filled to the top of all of said vertical panels with a grout of corrosion resistant material to define an essentially flat corrosion resistant horizontal surface for said corrosion resistant machine foundation to which a machine may be attached.
