Structural Inspection and Load Analysis for Heavy Machinery in Hingham, MA

Project Overview

The project included:

• Analyzed Concrete Core Sampling Data: Analyzed the data from core samples to evaluate the slab’s strength and capacity for the proposed heavy machinery installation.

• Load Analysis: Factored in the total equipment load, including the full unit weight and fully loaded trays, to confirm the slab’s ability to support the machinery.

• Installation Guidance: Provided analysis report and recommendations for slab preparation, optimal installation locations, and ongoing maintenance based on equipment manufacturer guidelines.

By combining engineering expertise with data-driven analysis, we ensured a safe and efficient installation process for Siemens-Russelectric.

Challenges and Solutions

• Solution: Conducted a detailed structural inspection and load analysis using data from concrete core samples to confirm the slab’s capacity.

Challenge 2: Accommodating Heavy Equipment Loads

• Solution: Factored in dynamic and static loads to verify the slab’s ability to support both the Heavy Punch Press and Vertical Lift Modules.

Challenge 3: Providing Practical Installation Guidance

• Solution: Delivered tailored recommendations for slab preparation and installation to optimize performance and safety.

Results and Transformation

This project ensured:

• Safe Equipment Installation: Verified the floor slab’s capacity to support heavy machinery without structural compromise.

• Optimized Performance: Provided recommendations to maximize equipment efficiency and longevity.

• Code Compliance: Guaranteed adherence to local building regulations and manufacturer standards.
