This document addresses static equipment foundation engineering and construction. It presents various design criteria, methods and procedures of analysis, design, and construction applied to static equipment foundations by industry practitioners. This document should, hopefully, encourage discussion and comparison of ideas.

Keywords: anchorage (structural); bolts, anchor; equipment; forms; formwork (construction); foundation loading; foundations; grout; grouting; pedestals; pile loads; reinforcement; soil pressure; subsurface preparation;tolerances (mechanics).
