In the industrial word Epoxies are making installations
and repairs much easier than before. I would suggest
consulting an engineer and or companies supplying epoxy
grouts and anchor material. I worked in maintenance
around turbines and large pumps for a few years and was
amazed at the new uses for epoxy compounds. They are
even setting large turbines in epoxy grout beds. I did
vibration analysis on these installations and the epoxy
was much better and lasted longer than traditional
methods. As far as weathering they should outlast the
concrete. As stated by others consult with a
professional.
