Rebuilding Motor Pads<br />
Deep Pour Grout<br />
March 1998<br />
Baltimore Gas & Electric<br />
Power Plant<br />
Problem:<br />
A centrifugal water pump pad was badly eroded <strong>and</strong> the pump plate became very loose. Severe vibration<br />
occurred <strong>and</strong> the anchor bolts became loose in the concrete. Over a period of time “chunks” of concrete<br />
broke away causing the plate to become very sloppy.<br />
Solution:<br />
The loose concrete was removed using a surface grinder. All loose particles were blown away with high<br />
pressure air. The surface was then cleaned with a degreaser to remove all oil <strong>and</strong> grease. Fir strips were<br />
used to “dam” the edges of the pump pad. The pump base plate was balanced on the concrete surface.<br />
Then Deep Pour Grout was poured onto the pad <strong>and</strong> allowed to “self level”. After 16 hours the plate was<br />
secure in the epoxy <strong>and</strong> ready for the pump to be re-connected.
