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.
