Baseplate-mounting procedures
Prepare the baseplate for mounting
This procedure assumes you have a basic knowledge of baseplate and foundation design and
installation methods. Follow industry-standard procedures, such as API RP 686/ PIP REIE 686,
or this procedure before you grout the baseplate.
1. Make sure that all baseplate surfaces that will contact grout are free from contamination
such as rust, oil, and grime.
2. Thoroughly clean all baseplate surfaces that will come in contact with grout.
Make sure to use a cleaner that will not leave residue.
