Establish Precision from the Ground Up
In machinery installation, the foundation isn’t just where the job begins—it’s where long-term performance is defined. Whether erecting a new production line or installing complex equipment, aligning base components with absolute accuracy is critical to avoiding costly delays, misalignment issues, and structural inefficiencies down the line.
At Rotatek, our Foundation Alignment and Flatness / Levelness Services use high-precision laser and 3D metrology systems to ensure your machines are built on a rock-solid starting point. From sole plate leveling to establishing master datums, we lay the groundwork for precise, reliable, and repeatable equipment alignment.
Foundation Alignment Services
Centerlines and offset baselines
Elevation benchmarks and datums
Anchor bolt locations and hole layouts
Cross-machine reference points
Structural weld positions and assembly marks
We work directly from your CAD models or design drawings, bringing digital layouts to life with pinpoint accuracy—without relying on templates, guesswork, or excessive rigging.
Flatness & Levelness Verification
Machinery sole plates
Structural steel base frames
Concrete foundations
Equipment mounting pads
Our real-time data allows contractors and engineers to identify high/low spots, deflection zones, or angular deviations—critical factors that impact alignment, load distribution, and vibration.

Why Combine These Services?
These two services go hand in hand on every critical installation. If a surface isn’t level or flat, even the best alignment work will fall out of tolerance. If components aren’t positioned correctly, your flat surfaces won’t deliver performance.
By providing both as an integrated solution, Rotatek ensures:
Reliable long-term alignment
Reduced rework and time delays
Improved vibration and load control
Safer, faster installations
Sole plates & mounting surfaces
Elevation benchmarks
Machine centerlines & baselines
Anchor bolt patterns & hole positions
Structural interfaces & weld points
We work directly with CAD models and engineering drawings to bring virtual design intent into real-world execution with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Too often, mechanical teams delay drilling, tapping, or anchoring until after pre-alignment, relying on manual placement or templates that introduce error and inefficiency. Rotatek eliminates that guesswork. Using laser trackers and high-accuracy layout systems, we can rapidly mark and verify hole positions, layout patterns, and structural interfaces—without heavy rigging or physical templates.
