Abstract
The present invention is directed to a hollow form which is to be used as a machine foundation. The form is made of an aggregate filled thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin which are corrosion and chemical resistant materials free from fluid attack such as the liquids used in the machine, for example, in a pump either the lubricating fluids or the fluids being pumped. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a hollow form which may be used either to prepare a machine foundation or to repair a degraded slab or foundation and preferably is a single form. The preferred form has vertical walls and a single, top horizontal wall through which polymeric concrete can be poured to fill the form. An alternative form may be made of two pieces.
