Technical Tuesday: Foundation Design

September 28, 2021

Technical Tuesday

Name one time when “bad” was good enough. How about our foundations? By most accounts, our compressor foundations from the 1940’s through the late 70’s were poorly designed, used questionable or substandard materials, and were occasionally installed by less-than-qualified individuals. And they are still lasting 50-60 years. We can do better, but there is a point of diminishing return on investment. If you want insights into which foundation design and materials are the right mix of reliability and expense, join us at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable on May 3-5, 2022 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA to learn more.
