613.3Construction.

A.Submittals.

1.Submit a manufacturer's letter of certification for an approved installer or arrange to have a

manufacturer's representative on site during surface preparation and coating application.

2.Supply a MSDS and a certificate of compliance of the batch and lot for each shipment of

concrete sealer materials. Provide a manufacturer's analysis report of the materials used with the specified batch shipped to the job site.

3.Provide the manufacturer's instructions for installing the system at least 2 -weeks before

beginning surface preparation.

B.Surface preparation and coating application.

1.Cure concrete in accordance with Section 610 or the time specified in the manufacturer's

recommendations, whichever is longer. Complete texturing, saw cutting, grooving, and repointing on new concrete surfaces before preparing the surface for sealer. Co mplete repairs on existing concrete surfaces in accordance with Section 628.

2.Remove loose material, grease, dirt, salt, efflorescence, laitance, curing compound, previous

sealers and paints, and other matter from concrete surfaces in accordance with ASTM D4258 and SSPC -SP-13. Do not use sandblasting or shot -blasting on textured or form -lined concrete surfaces or on surfaces to receive aesthetic staining.

3.For new concrete, high-pressure -wash the surface with water at a flow rate and pressure

sufficient to clean, but not damage the concrete surface. Repair concrete surface damage resulting from the high -pressure wash. After high -pressure washing or a rain event, a llow 48 - hours for the surface to dry before continuing the surface preparation process.

4.For existing concrete, shot -blast the surface with a pressure sufficient to clean the surface and

remove dirt, debris, laitance, oil, and any other unallowable material without damaging the concrete. Vacuum and remove all shot and removed material. CONCRETE COATINGS AND MEMBRANES SECTION 613 261 5. Blow the surface area clean with oil -free compressed air immediately before coating application.

6.Protect private and public property, pedestrians, workers, and vehicles on, beneath, or adjacent

to the structure from the effects of surface preparation and sealer applications.

7.Apply coatings and membranes when the range of surface and ambient temperatures and

weather conditions recommended by the manufacturer are forecast to continue until the coating cures.

8.Do not begin applying coating until the engineer approves the surface preparation work.

C.Epoxy concrete sealer.

1.Apply the sealer as supplied by the manufacturer without thinning or alteration, unless

specifically required in the manufacturer's instructions and verified by the engineer.

2.Apply the sealer material using the coverage rate and equipment in accordance with the

manufacturer's recommendations.

3.Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for coating thickness. Do not allow drips, runs, or

sags during application.

4.Broadcast oven -dried fine aggregate on the surface after applying the epoxy material. Brush off

excess fine aggregate after the epoxy coating has dried.

D.Silicone -based acrylic sealer , and silane -based concrete sealer.

1.Apply the sealer as supplied by the manufacturer without thinning or alteration, unless

specifically required in the manufacturer's instructions and verified by the engineer.

2.Apply the sealer material using the coverage rate and equipment in accordance with the

manufacturer's recommendations. Apply a minimum of 2 coats. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for drying times between coats. Calculate the yield for each con crete surface and submit to the engineer. If the yield does not meet the minimum coverage rate, recoat the entire area.

3.Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for coating thickness. Do not allow drips, runs, or

sags during application. Use a brush, roller, or sprayer to perform the application.

4.Allow silicone -based acrylic sealer to dry 1 -week before testing adhesion, in accordance with

ASTM D7234.

5.Do not allow traffic on the treated surface until the waterproofing solution is completely

absorbed and the surface is dry and, in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

E.High molecular weight methacrylate concrete sealer.

1.Follow the manufacturer's safety precautions for using all materials and equipment. Store

materials in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Fire codes may require special storage facilities for some components of the system.

2.Apply the crack sealing material without thinning or alteration in accordance with the

manufacturer’s recommendations .

3.If excess material remains on the surface after completing crack sealing, cover the area with a

light broadcast of a dry sand meeting the requirements of Section 1003. Use only enough sand needed to absorb the excess material. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation regarding sand broadcast timing. Brush off excess sand when the sealer has dried. CONCRETE COATINGS AND MEMBRANES SECTION 613 262 4. Keep traffic off the treated surface for a minimum of 4 -hours when temperatures are 70 degrees F and above and for a minimum of 6 -hours when temperatures are below 70 degrees F.

5.Open treated surface to traffic only after receiving approval from the engineer.

F.Waterproofing membranes.

1.Remove hot mix and roadway fill to expose the existing concrete deck. Patch holes or voids in

the concrete deck in accordance with Section 628. Remove sharp protrusions.

2.For locations where bituminous overlay is placed directly on top of the membrane, provide a

membrane capable of withstanding the asphalt temperature at placement.

3.Place the membrane and other system components in accordance with the manufacturer's

recommendations.

4.Overlap the membrane sheets by at least 3 -inches or as specified by the manufacturer,

whichever is greater. Stagger membrane overlaps in the transverse direction.

5.Seal the overlaps at the end of each roll and bond the membrane to the curb by heating with a

propane torch. Eliminate all entrapped air bubbles by puncturing the membrane and patching.

6.Place a tack coat on the membrane before the overlay application.

G.Aesthetic Staining.

1.Provide a penetrating stain mix and compatible coloring agents designed for exterior application

on new or old concrete with field evidence of resistance to moisture, alkali, acid, mildew, mold, and fungus discoloration or degradation. Use a coloring ag ent that breathes, allowing transmission of moisture and vapor.

2.Provide stains and coloring agents to produce the appearance, texture, color combinations and

patterns, and range of colors in accordance with the contract. Colors may include a base color, heavy accent color, light accent color, speckling color, and a joint color .

3.Provide a finished surface free of blemishes, discolorations, surface voids, and conspicuous form

marks. Repair all surface problems created by the surface preparation method with patching material that matches the texture and color of the surrounding c oncrete.

4.Apply stain in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Unless otherwise noted,

apply 2 coats of stain. Apply stain to sample panels or test sections first to establish acceptable colors and patterns. Once approved by the engineer, apply stai n to structures in the field after structure completion, at the locations shown in the contract.

613.4Method of Measurement.

A.The Department will measure the quantity of concrete coatings as the number of square feet of

concrete surface area coated and accepted.

B.For aesthetic staining, the Department will measure an approved sample panel as an additional

concrete surface area.

C.The Department will not measure the quantity of sealer for precast concrete elements.
