Typical InstallationSteps for Epoxy Grout• After the concrete is fully cured, chip the foundation down 3/4 - 1" using a light duty,hand held pneumatic chipper with a chisel type tool, removing all laitance and defectiveor weak concrete.• Chamfer all the foundation edges at a 45˚ angle, in order to remove stress concentration.• Remove all dust, dirt, chips, oil, water, and any other contaminants.• The final baseplate or soleplate elevation should allow 2" to 3" of grout between thesurface of the foundation and the lower baseplate flange or the underside of the soleplate.• Fill the foundation anchor bolt sleeves with a non-bonding, pliable material, such asspray insulation foam to prevent the epoxy grout from filling the anchor bolt sleeve.Apply tape to the shanks and threads of all anchor bolts.• Build grout forms out of 3/4" thick plywood securely braced with 2x4’s. Forms must beliquid-tight. Seal off any open spaces or cracks in forms, or at the joint between formsand the foundation using RTV sealant. Install 45˚chamfer strips along the top insideedges of the form at the final elevation of the grout as well as in all vertical corners.• Install expansion joints as required depending on the length of pour and specific groutchosen.• Coat the inside of the forms with three coats of paste wax on all areas that will come incontact with the grout to keep the grout from bonding to the forms.• Install and align the baseplate without any pumps or motors installed using jacking bolts.Jacking bolts should fall on round metal landing pads epoxied to the surface of theconcrete. Apply a heavy coat of non-melt grease to the jacking screws so they can beremoved later.• Mix the epoxy resin and hardener with a Jiffy Mixer for about three [3] minutes. Pour themixed solution into a wheelbarrow, mortar box, or mechanical mortar mixer.• Slowly add aggregate to the mix one bag at a time. Mix the resin and aggregate onlylong enough to wet out all the aggregate.• Grouting should be continuous until all sections or compartments of the baseplate arecompletely filled. A head box can provide a hydraulic head to force the grout to the ventholes.• The use of a head box provides a surge volume for the grout, as well as provides thecritical hydraulic head.• Tools and equipment can be cleaned with medium pressure water immediately uponcompletion.• Forms may be removed when the epoxy grout is adequately cured. This generallyoccurs in approximately 24 hours at 72˚ F when the surface becomes firm and not tackyto the touch.• The baseplate is to remain supported by the jack screws for 48 hours before removingthem. The jack screw holes shall be filled with RTV or epoxy after being solvent cleanedto remove any bond breaker. The foundation anchor bolts can now be torqued. Theframe shall be dial indicated at each anchor bolt and coupling, to determine anymovement during torque.• Re-install the pumps and motors after the baseplate has been grouted and after thegrout has cured for a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours.www.chockfastgrout.com
