Rebuilding Motor Pad
Deep Pour Grout and 1-Minute® Epoxy
March 1998
Coastal Refinery
Petrochemical Plant
Problem:
Concrete motor pad becomes broken up after intense vibration of pump motor vibrating over time.
Broken and spalled concrete needed to be removed and the area cleaned of all loose fragments. A
wooden form will be placed in the area to be rebuilt, spanning the spalled area of the motor pad. Then a
new set of anchor bolts placed to secure the motor.
Solution:
After the loose concrete was removed from the surface, a pine form was anchored in place using 1-
Minute Epoxy to secure to concrete an d seal area from any grout traveling under the form. Then Deep
Pour Grout was mixed and poured into one side of the hole. The material moves freely displacing air as
the grout fills all crevices. The material self levels nicely for a smooth finish. A anchor bolt is placed
into the grout approx. 20 minutes after the pour. After 24 hours the motor is mounted back onto the pad.
