Kaufman’s K Pro HP Grout was selected to create a durable and long-lasting epoxy grout on this marina's new boat launch ramp.

Pleasure Cove Marina, located in Pasadena, Maryland, needed to construct a unique pier at their facility to use their Marine Travelift, a mobile gantry crane, to place boats from their storage buildings out into the water at the marina. Anderson Marine, the general contractor on the project, drove piles out into the basin area and “capped” them with 4’ wide steel girders to create a runway for the Marine Travelift to get out to deeper water.

Due to the difference in elevation between the bulkhead and the new piers, an access ramp needed to be constructed using the same steel girders as the piers. This created a void of ½” to 3” that needed to be fully grouted to provide full weight bearing of the access ramp. Carl Stein Contracting was selected by Anderson Marine, due to their extensive experience with industrial grouting, to install the K Pro HP Epoxy Grout.



The ramp and bulkhead were sealed during construction and 2” diameter pipe nipples were welded where holes had been cut to provide access for the epoxy grout.

The contractor monitored the flow of grout until it was visually observed and filled up into the access pipe nipples. All ports were left with 6” of grout standing in them to assure complete filling of the voids beneath the ramp.

After epoxy grout was cured, pipe nipples were removed and holes were welded shut. View of completed Project.
