Underwater Epoxy Dispenser Improves Grouting Technique
This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. Engineers at the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory (NCEL), Port Hueneme, CA, have developed a new underwater epoxy dispenser for installing seafloor fastener systems. According to NCEL inventors, the dispenser represents an improved underwater grouting technique for divers. Seafloor fasteners are frequently used to stabilize structures underwater. The grout dispenser provides the construction diver with an efficient and reliable method for installing these fasteners. The tool is pneumatically powered at 100 psi and weighs only 7 pounds in water. The critical element of the tool is that it simultaneously mixes and dispenses two part epoxies while incorporating a self-cleaning mechanism. This feature helps overcome the problem of quick set-up times for epoxies, while ensuring prolonged clog-free operation of the tool. NCEL forsees marine applications for the new grout dispenser, including anchoring buoys, small vessels, or instrument packages. The grout dispenser is designed to aid the diver in any underwater grouting task. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Navy Technology Transfer Fact Sheet, Code E411, Naval Surface Weapons Center, Dahlgren, VA 22448.
