The concrete used in industrial plants is often exposed to harsh environments and heavy loads from the machinery. Concrete floors are susceptible to degradation from wear and chemical wash downs, while the concrete foundations and pedestals can develop cracks as a result of heavy vibratory...

Foul water contamination in particular will affect the life of essential components such as bearings in rotating machinery. This is why a triple-sealed bearing is often recommended for applications in the water treatment sector.
