An Overview to Vehicular Barrier – Bumper Wall Crack Repair in Parking Garages Using the SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Injection Pump and SealBoss Surface Mounted Tri-Base Epoxy Injection Port System
Maintaining the integrity and safety of parking structures is paramount, specifically the vehicular barriers or bumper walls. These walls play a significant role in preventing accidents, thereby ensuring the protection of property and human lives.
Over time, due to various factors such as stress, wear and tear, or movement of reinforcing lateral cables causing additional forces, these barriers often develop structural and shrinkage cracks. This is where the technology of epoxy injection comes to the rescue.
The Damage: Cracked Vehicular Barriers
Cracks can be a source of structural weakness in parking garage bumper walls. They may compromise the strength and stability of the barrier, leading to potential safety hazards. Additionally, moisture seeping through these cracks can cause the steel reinforcement to corrode and the concrete to spall, igniting a vicious cycle of accelerating deterioration.
The Answer: Epoxy Injection
Epoxy injection presents itself as a proven, cost-effective method to repair cracks in structures. The technique involves the injection of a low-viscosity epoxy into the cracks. The injected epoxy fills the void and, once cured, can restore the structural integrity and strength of the concrete structure, warding off further damage.
The Tools: Epoxy Dispensing System
Proven reliability and cost-effectiveness, the SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Injection Pump and SealBoss Surface Mount Tri-Base Ports exemplify a professional solution for epoxy pressure dispensing.

SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Injection Pump & SealBoss Surface Mounted Tri-Base Ports
A successful epoxy injection process relies heavily on the right equipment. The SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Injection Pump and SealBoss Surface Mounted Tri-Base Ports are precisely designed to manage such repairs. Specifically, the P3003 pump is custom-designed with a 2:1 ratio feature in mind, or, if needed, a 1:1 ratio conversion, vital for most structural epoxies, providing optimal curing and strength characteristics.
Procedure: Repairing Cracks with Epoxy Injection
The epoxy injection process kicks off by preparing the crack for repair. Any loose concrete or debris within the crack is removed, the paint is grinded off, and the surface is cleaned thoroughly. For fine shrinkage cracks, the contractor chases the cracks out to allow for proper material travel during injection.
Connectors: SealBoss Tri-Base Ports
The SealBoss Surface Mounted Tri-Base Ports are strategically installed along the crack. Acting as a connector between the injection machine or dispenser, they are placed directly over the crack, and a non-sag, fast setting epoxy paste is built up around the port to ensure a proper seal that can hold pressure.
Epoxy Injection Port – Industry Standard Bestseller
Durable plastic design surface mounted port. Tri-Base design with perforation holes for best possible adhesion. .
Dispenser: SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Pump
Having completed the preparation phase, the SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Injection Pump is effectively engaged as the device for dispensing the epoxy. This allows for the precise injection of the epoxy resin into the existing cracks through the strategically placed ports. The process starts at the lowest port on a vertical crack or the first port on a horizontal crack. Epoxy is injected until it begins to appear at the next port, signifying that the section of the crack between the ports has been filled. The injection process then proceeds to the next port, repeating the process until the entire crack has been repaired.
Once the epoxy has cured, the ports and the surface seal are removed. The result is a structurally sound bumper wall, restored to its original strength and durability.
