552.03 Construction
552.03.01 Pressure Injection Concrete Cracks
A.Crack Repair Survey. The RE will examine the structure to verify the repair limits shown on the Plans. At least 15 days before the start of crack repair, notify the RE in writing and make the work site available for this examination. The RE may increase or decrease the limits of repair based on the examination. The RE will schedule surveys during daylight hours unless the working time is restricted in the Contract.
B.Preparing for Repair. Remove deteriorated, damaged, and loose concrete from the crack area. Drill port holes at 3 foot intervals along the crack. Perform additional surface preparation requirements according to the epoxy manufacturer’s recommendations.
C.Sealing Surface Cracks. Seal the surface of the crack with an epoxy crack sealant. Ensure that this sealer does not obstruct the port holes for the pressure injected epoxy resin and is capable of contain ing the injected epoxy resin. Ensure that the sealant is hard before injecting the epoxy resin adhesive.
D.Injecting Epoxy Resin Adhesive. Mix and apply the epoxy resin adhesive according to the manufacturer’s r
