Quick completion to get your equipment back in service with minimal downtime.

Why Refurbish?

Repeated use can create a circular wear depression in the working surface of the base. Once the worn area becomes excessive, the base may no longer meet applicable ASTM and AASHTO requirements.

If your existing base remains structurally serviceable, precision resurfacing can remove the worn area, restore the working surface, and verify the base for continued use.

Complete or Disassembled Units Accepted

This service can be performed on the complete Casagrande liquid limit device or the base by itself. You may send the complete unit, the removable base only, or a disassembled unit. Contact Texas Machine Service for pickup, delivery, or shipping instructions.
