Vibrating Equipment Foundation – Checklist for Design Engineering or Construction Supervision

Equipment in used in petrochemical, energy processing and industrial facilities fall under two broad categories, namely: static equipment and rotating equipment. Some examples of static equipment are horizontal & vertical vessels, and pressure vessels while rotating equipment include turbines, compressors amongst others. Equipment which fall under the rotating category create a dynamic effect called vibration… Read More Vibrating Equipment Foundation – Checklist for Design Engineering or Construction Supervision
