Replaceable Machinery Anchoring
Replaceable Machinery Anchoring
(OP)
I have an application for a large motor (4000HP) mounted to 10 ft aboveground concrete foundation and am looking for a anchor method/style which would allow for replacement of (at least) the visible portion of the anchor bolts if they are damaged (which they have been previously). The foundation will be brand new, so any style installation will work. This replacement would not be often - annually at most often.

With access to the top flange you can easily replace the bolt and nut.

Expansion bolts may also work though I would probably go with something else for dynamic loading. Some anchors however, certain Hilti anchors for instance, are qualified for use in dynamic loading situations.
