Abstract:
1. A method of constructing a pump island protector to alleviate continuous maintenance required for a deteriorating existing steel pump island base, comprising the steps of: making a saw-cut in pavement around an existing pump island; placing expansion material around an existing dispenser and columns on the existing pump island; cutting off bollards on or near the existing pump island; drilling a plurality of holes in the existing pump island; placing re-rod in said holes to protrude from said holes; placing adjustable forms around the existing pump island; anchoring said adjustable forms to the pavement around the existing pump island; placing stainless steel components into said saw-cut around the existing pump island; placing stainless steel components at a new bollard location for the pump island; anchoring forms to said stainless steel components; applying a bonding agent to existing concrete of the pump island; pouring 4,000 psi new concrete level with a top surface of said stainless steel components and said expansion material to form a cap over the extire pump island; finishing said new concrete; and removing said adjustable forms to provide the completed pump island protector.
