Anchor Bolts
Specifications for anchor bolt maintenance MUST come from the foundation design engineer.
Request the following information from the customer: Frequency, Torque Spec, Quantity, and Corrective Action if found out of spec.
Questions relating to anchor bolt maintenance should be directed to a member of the TPM team.

Small Diameter Bolt Torque Values
The torque values in table below are superseded if component specific torque values are listed above.
Notes!
1. Tightening torque values are based on VDI 2230, version
2003.
2. Imperial units are converted from metric.
3. Tightening torque utilization of yield strength 70%.
4. Friction coefficient in the threaded area = 0.12.
5. Friction coefficient underneath contact area of bolt
head/nut = 0.12.
6. For LVDP/CONVERTER electrical connections, refer to values
listed in Table 3 of current Bolt Torque spec, unless vendor
provided torque values are provided.
7. For tower bus bar system torque values, refer to the GE
Canada installation manual 443.
