Machinery shimming and equipment reseating
Steel shims leave point contact under machine feet, so load transfers unevenly and equipment drifts out of alignment under load.
What is failing
Steel shims touch the machine foot at a few high points, so load runs through those points instead of the whole foot. The uneven contact lets the equipment drift out of alignment under load, and that drift works the bearings and couplings. Stacked steel shims also fret and loosen, so the setting you dialed in does not hold.
How CM Solutions US does it
CM Solutions US forms load-bearing shims that cure to the exact shape of the mating surface, so contact spreads across the full foot. We pour insulating shims the same way where the foot has to stay electrically or thermally isolated. The work is cold-cure with no hot work, and our crew sets the machine to alignment before the shim cures so the position is captured, not approximated.
The machine seats on full-contact, custom shims and holds precise alignment through physical and thermal cycling, instead of drifting on point-contact steel.
How CM Solutions US delivers it
CM Solutions US performs Machinery shimming and equipment reseating work for Facilities, Manufacturing, and Power Generation operations across Mount Jackson and the Mid-Atlantic, cold-applied and in place wherever possible, on your turnaround schedule. Crews are factory-trained Belzona applicators, the repair system is matched to the service conditions it will see, and urgent failures are covered by 24-hour on-call response. The result is a permanent, engineered repair that returns the asset to service without the cost or downtime of full replacement.
