Concrete Pump Pad <strong>Repair</strong><br />

Floor Patch<br />

8/4/92<br />

Laurel <strong>Maintenance</strong><br />

Pulp <strong>and</strong> Paper Manufacturing<br />

Problem:<br />

Over several years of service, this pump pad’s concrete would become loose <strong>and</strong> eroded from a<br />

combination of vibration <strong>and</strong> chemical leakage from the pump. The previous method of repair was to<br />

pour new concrete. Newly poured concrete could not achieve good bond strength <strong>and</strong> also provided poor<br />

chemical resistance.<br />

Solution:<br />

The concrete surface was s<strong>and</strong>blasted to remove loose concrete <strong>and</strong> provide a rough profile. <strong>Devcon</strong>’s<br />

Release agent was generously applied to the pump mounting base for easy removal or separation.<br />

Release agent must be used for easy part or mold separation. Floor Patch was applied onto the worn<br />

concrete. The pump mounting base was set <strong>and</strong> leveled on top of the uncured Floor Patch. Fasteners<br />

were pushed through the the pump mounting base into the uncured Floor Patch. Following a full cure of<br />

Floor Patch (24 hours), the pump mounting fasteners were tightened.
