Concrete Inertia Bases
A welded steel frame filled with site-poured concrete that adds mass under unbalanced machines - stabilising belt-driven pumps, compressors, and DG sets on their spring isolators.

Overview
Mass where springs need help.
Spring isolators alone cannot steady a machine that generates large unbalanced forces - a belt-driven pump or reciprocating compressor will rock on its springs unless extra mass holds it down. An inertia base solves this: a fully welded steel frame with integral reinforcement fixed 40 mm above the frame bottom is set on spring mounts, filled with concrete on site, and the equipment bolts to the mass. The added weight lowers the assembly's centre of gravity, reduces motion, and improves low-frequency isolation.
TEMBO TGIB00 frames come in standard sizes with 150, 200, 300, and 350 mm depths - never less than one-twelfth of the longest side - with recessed corner brackets designed to accept TEMBO TGOSM open spring mounts. Custom sizes are manufactured to order for heavier or more complex plant, with six or more isolators recommended on exceptionally large bases.
Combined Cooperation supplies inertia bases in Kuwait sized against the equipment drawing: model, motor HP and RPM, static and operating weight, and the deflection the consultant requires.

Questions & answers
Common questions about concrete inertia bases.
01Which machines need an inertia base rather than spring mounts alone?
Machines that generate large unbalanced forces — belt-driven pumps and reciprocating compressors are the typical cases — rock on bare springs. The concrete mass bolted under them lowers the centre of gravity, reduces motion, and improves low-frequency isolation. Base-mounted pumps, chillers, DG sets, and refrigeration plant are also set on inertia bases.
02How deep should the inertia base frame be?
Standard frames are 150, 200, 300, and 350 mm deep, and the depth is never less than one-twelfth of the longest side of the base. Larger or more complex plant gets a custom frame manufactured to order.
03Is the base delivered filled, and which isolators does it sit on?
The welded steel frame is delivered with red oxide primer on its external surfaces and its reinforcement fixed 40 mm above the frame bottom; the concrete is poured on site. Recessed corner brackets take TEMBO TGOSM0 open spring mounts, and six or more isolators are recommended on exceptionally large bases.
04Which equipment data is needed to size an inertia base?
The equipment drawing with make and model, motor HP and RPM, static and operating weight, and the deflection the consultant requires. With those, the frame and its spring mounts are sized together and a quotation follows within 24–48 hours.
