2 EXPERIENCE Adherence to National Industry Standards, Procedures and Guidelines

3 Motor and Pump Base Foundational Repair
After several months of market research and creative work, we have created, adopted and now unveil to you Furmanite’s new global message. Maximizing Asset Uptime This one simple statement encapsulates everything Furmanite was founded upon, the reputation Furmanite currently has today, and what we want Furmanite to become. We are committed to you to Maximize your asset uptime. An asset can be a pipeline, an entire plant, a plant’s personnel, etc

4 Foundational failure is one of the most common factors leading to vibration in the pumps and motors
If foundational failures are not addressed, you will experience significant particle and coupling wear which may result in premature replacement and unscheduled shut downs

5 Equipment Anchor Points
Substantial amounts of force are placed on footpads and equipment anchor points These areas are usually the most affected by grout pack deterioration and create voids or ‘Soft Foot’ due to steel stress and result in vibration and unsound foundations

6 Foundational Failures Can Occur From
Inferior material composition at time of pour Cracked or deteriorating grout packing and concrete due to service Corroding reinforcing steel in the basin due to improper instillation Chemical attack to the basin

7 Previous Vibratory Solution Methods Included Shimming the Anchor Areas
Although this method has been widely accepted for aligning the Pump and Motors it may have adverse affects when related to vibration If the Machine Level is out of alignment It is recommended to Mill to near perfect conditions This method is only recommended if you have taken steps to ensure the Foundation and Soul Plate are Sound

8 REPAIR OPTIONS FOR RESTORATION
Structural repair using reinforcing steel bars Water control (Leak Sealing) Epoxy Pressure Injection Pump and Motor base grout removal & repair This can be lengthy and typically not the best option Soil Stabilization Void Fills Demo and Replace Laser level weld up and mill down Speaking points: There is a tremendous amount of concrete that is now aging; Furmanite can provide solutions for many different needs

9 STRUCTURAL REPAIR Applications Machinery base repairs
Pump and motor base repair Exciter basins Structural support base repair Basin cracks Pedestal restoration Epoxy/Urethane pressure injection method

10 Solutions EPOXY INJECTION: Low Viscosity Moisture Insensitive
Easy Application Must be done under pressure Extreme High Strength 12,000 PSI epoxy materials are available on the market Chemical Resistance 100% Solids This means 0% Shrinkage

11 Epoxy Injection Basin Repair
Epoxies consist of 2 or more blended components to make a material specifically designed for certain applications including chemical resistance, compressive strength Epoxies used for grout pack solidification and basin injection have a tested compressive strength ranging from 8,500 psi (when applied at 73°f and 1 day cure) to 12,000 psi (at 73°f and 3-28 day full cure) The injection method is minimally invasive requiring holes to be drilled in hollowed locations and can be pumped under high or low pressure It is recommended that BOTH the motor and pump are removed

12 Epoxy Injection Issues-
Cannot be used in flowing water May not fully penetrate cracks if viscosity is high or if the wrong material is selected Chemical attacks can be prevalent Temperature limitations Typically less than 350º F Proper cure time MUST be given to reach ‘working time’

13 Epoxy Injection Basin Repair – Select the right material!
In June 2011, under request from nuclear customers, the injection epoxies were tested by an independent Engineering consultant. Upon selecting a qualified engineering and testing company, the goal was to ensure and validate the proper material compressive strength as indicated under the specifications. Three samples were submitted and machined into cylindrical shape prior to testing. A compression machine as specified by ASTM D Section 5.1 was utilized. Load was applied to each specimen in accordance with ASTM D Section 9.2. Results Testing was stopped once the 3- day strength requirement of 10,000 PSI had been met. All three specimens had achieved greater than the desired 10,000 PSI with one sample achieving 15,035 PSI. At the applied load, the specimens had been compressed to a height of inches with a diameter of inches. Upon observation, no cracking was found. As well, the specimens began to rebound slowly after the load was removed. Within 1 hour the specimens had rebounded between 57% and 66% of their original height. Within 24 hours, all specimens had rebounded approximately 98% of their original test height.

14 Epoxy Injection Basin Repair
Where Can Epoxy Injections Be Performed? Pump Basins Sole Plates Exciter Basins Concrete Foundations Structural Reinforcement Applications Reinforcing Steel Corrosion Mitigation

15 Water Control After several months of market research and creative work, we have created, adopted and now unveil to you Furmanite’s new global message. Maximizing Asset Uptime This one simple statement encapsulates everything Furmanite was founded upon, the reputation Furmanite currently has today, and what we want Furmanite to become. We are committed to you to Maximize your asset uptime. An asset can be a pipeline, an entire plant, a plant’s personnel, etc

16 WATER CONTROL Urethane Injection Process
Solution for problems such as: Freeze / thaw damage Corrosion of reinforcing steel Erosion of the structure Mineral deposits Loss of dry environment Repair sealant capabilities: Thin enough to penetrate “hairline” cracks Work in flowing water Bond to wet surfaces Remain flexible and inert after quick curing Safe in Potable water situations

17 WATER CONTROL URETHANE GROUT INJECTION: Cost Effective Non-Toxic
Single component capability Void Fill Capability - Vertical and Horizontal Can be used as a flexible joint ,gasket or pressure seal No Down Time - Work can be completed while components are online Stops water intrusion in cracks, joints and pipe penetrations Can be used in NSF potable water applications

18 BENEFITS OF CONCRETE & COMPOSITE REPAIR
RESOLVES VIBRATION PROBLEMS STOPS WATER LEAKAGE STOPS REBAR EXPANSION REPAIRS SURFACES SOIL STABILIZATIONS (PERMIABLE SOILS) SUB BASEMENTS ARE VERY PRONE TO SOIL SHRINKAGE ESPECIALLY NEAR WATER SOURCES e.g RIVERS/RESEVIORS REPAIRS PIPING, TANKS ,ELIMINATES COSTLY SHUT DOWNS OR REPLACEMENTS MAINTENANCE -ADDS LIFE TO THE STRUCTURE SAFETY

20 ONLINE LEAK SEALING Original developers of on-line leak repair services in the 1920’s Leak repair for steam, hydrocarbons, gas, air, chemicals and liquids Engineering solutions for leaks from 1600 F to cryogenic Leak repair from vacuum up to 6300 PSI Sub-Sea leak sealing High quality compounds Discuss that the 1:1 compression ratio results in less compound usage than other compounds for same application High quality clamps More PE’s than any other leak sealing company for clamp design ASME material and standards; certified weld processes Company-owned manufacturing facilities Bolt threads Easier to use than pipe threads, which can be damaged during tapping Pipe threads may not seal if too shallow or too deep

21 LEAK SEALING APPLICATIONS
Holes in pipes or valves Cracked welds Packing glands Flange leaks Valve bonnets Threaded fittings Exchanger leaks Pressure seal valves Turbine horizontal joints
