Foundation & Baseplate Systems
Polyshield® Foundation & Baseplate Systems
Corrosion-Resistant. Vibration Damping. Built for Long-Term Equipment Reliability.
The Polyshield® Foundation and Baseplate System is a one-piece system that replaces traditional foundations, steel or cast-iron baseplates, anchor bolts, and costly grouting systems. Its streamlined design simplifies equipment alignment, reduces downtime, and eliminates common foundation failures associated with rotating equipment.
Key Benefits
Built-in Vibration Damping
Polyshield® is engineered with high vibration-damping properties that protect pumps, bearings, couplings, and seals, helping extend equipment life and improve overall system performance.
Long-Term Reliability
With a one-piece polymer concrete design, Polyshield® can resist peeling, cracking, or corrosion. Engineered for durability, it offers low-maintenance performance and is built to withstand demanding environments better than conventional concrete foundations.
Faster, Simpler Installation
The complete system can be installed and brought into operation in just 1–2 days, compared to 1–2 weeks for conventional foundations. Fewer steps, less labour, and minimal alignment work reduce installation time and complexity.
Reduced Total Installed Cost
Polyshield® replaces the need for poured concrete, separate baseplates, anchor bolts, coatings, and grout, cutting craft labour requirements by up to 80% and significantly lowering total project cost.
Corrosion-Resistant Components
The system features cast-in alloy inserts or optional alloy pads available in 316 stainless steel, Alloy 20, or Hastelloy C, delivering exceptional chemical resistance in aggressive environments.
Simple, One-Piece Design
With flat mounting surfaces and a removable polymer motor block, Polyshield® ensures easy alignment, minimal rework, and seamless equipment changes or maintenance.
Flexible to Your Needs
Available in multiple heights (starting at 14 in / 356 mm) and polymer material options, Polyshield® is adaptable to a wide range of pump styles, process fluids, and installation environments.
Installation-Friendly Features
Installs quickly with minimal preparation. Its polymer motor block offers full motor foot support for better alignment and reliability. The self-venting design works with standard 2500–4000 PSI concrete, eliminating the need for specialty grouts or sandblasting. Provided lifting inserts simplify positioning for fast, accurate installation.
