Sweep, abrasive blast, then with the use of a manual or power broom sweep and blow with compressed air so that the surfaces to which the sealer is to be applied is dry and free of dust and dirt. Use high pressure compressed air to blow all loose material from visible cracks. Fit the cleaning equipment with suitable traps, filters, drip pans, driers and other devices to prevent oil and other foreign material from being deposited on the s urface. Do not allow traffic on the clean surface prior to application of the sealer. Remove existing pavement markings using a method as specified in 614.11.G.1.a. Remove all traces of asphalt or petroleum products and concrete curing seals by abrasive blasting prior to air sweeping.
physical qualities of the hardened resin as if promoted/initiated with 2 percent cobalt naphthanate (6 percent) and 2 percent cumene hydroperoxide. Store materials at 65 to 80 ° F (18 to 27 °C). Provide a system that has a resin gel time of not less than 40 minutes to not more than 1 1/2 hours at the time and temperature of application. Adjust the gel time to compensate for the change in temperature throughout the day. The temperature of the surfaces to be treated may range from 50 °F (10 °C) to 120 °F (49 °C). Arrange to have a technical representative on site to provide mixing proportions equipment suitability, and safety advice. Any conflict between these provisions and representative's advice shall be resolved at the job site. The technical representative shall remain at the job site until such time as he and the Engineer agree that the Contractor is qualified in all aspects of the application of the sealer. Do not allow the promoter and initiator, if supplied separate from the resin, to contact each other directly. Do not store containers of promoter or initiators together in a manner that will allow leakage or spillage from one to contact the containers or materials of the other. Machine application of the resin may be performed by using a two -part resin system utilizing a promoted resin for one part and an initiated resin for the other part. This two-part resin system may be combined at a spray bar through positive displacement atomization of the resin. Do not use compressed air to produce the spray. Use appropriate cleaning and flushing of equipment, tools, etc., with an appropriate solvent, as approved by the Engineer, in such a manner to minimize personal and environmental hazards. Advise workman that the resin will soften gum rubber soles, and a face -mask should be used to protect from accidental splashes. Clothing and leather saturated with resin will harden and become useless. Prior to resin application the surface to be treated shall be visibly dry and its temperature between 50 °F (10 °C) and 120 °F (49 °C). Do not apply the resin within 24 hours after a rain or when rain is forecast within 12 hours or when the ambient air tem perature is below 50 °F (10 °C). Pre -mark the deck to control mixed material usage and to provide a rate of application of approximately 100 square feet per gallon (2.45 m²/L). The exact rate shall be determined by the Engineer prior to commencing full-scale deck treatment operations. Before using the material submit to OMM copies of the manufacturer’s certified test data showing that the material complies with the requirements of this specification. The test data shall be developed by an independent approved testing laboratory, and shall include the brand name of the material, name of manufacturer, number of the lot tested and date of manufacture. When the material has been approved by OMM, further testing by the manufacturer will not be required unless the formulation or manufacturing process has been changed, in which case new certified test results will be required. The 353 manufacturer shall certify that the formulation is the same as that for which data has been submitted. The state reserves the right to sample and test delivered lots for compliance. Flood the deck surfaces resin, allowing penetration into the concrete and filling of all cracks. Limit the initiated mix of promoted resin to 5 gallons (19 L) at a time for manual application. A significant increase in viscosity shall be cause for rejection. Apply the treatment within 5 minutes after complete mixing. Redistribute excess material by squeegee or brooms within 10 minutes after application. Take all steps necessary to prevent the resin from flowing into lanes open to traffic. Broadcast sand over the entire treated area of the bridge deck by mechanical means to affect a uniform coverage of 0.80 to 1.2 pounds per square yard (0.43 kg/m² to 0.65 kg/m²). The sand shall be uniformly graded aggregate conforming to the quality requirements of 703 and shall conform to the following limits for grading: Sieve Size Total Percent Passing No. 4 (4.75 mm) 100 No. 8 (2.36 mm) 90 to 100 No. 20 (850 µm) 5 to 15 No. 50 (300 µm) 0 to 5 It is the intention of the specification to allow the use of commercially available blast sands applied by a common lawn broadcast type seeder/spreader. Place sand between 10 to 15 minutes behind the resin spreading front and before any jelling of the resin occurs. If the surface contains large deep cracks, the low-viscosity liquid could run completely through the concrete slab. Apply a second coat in these areas after the first coat has started to cure. Before the monomer hardens, fill imperfections or spalls with standing liquid with commercial quality concrete or sandblast sand, and finished to a uniform surface. The sand shall have a maximum moisture content of 0.5 of the percent of absorption when tested in accordance to a California Test 226. Do not permit traffic and equipment on the tested deck until it is tack free and a minimum of 6 hours have elapsed since treatment and the sand cover adheres sufficiently to resist brushing by hand. Protect the treatment from moisture for not less than 4 hours after placement.

512.07Sealing Cracks by Epoxy Injection . This specification covers the repair of dry, moist
or wet cracks or fractures that are 2 to 100 mils (50 to 2500 µm) in thickness in reinforced concrete members. The repair is by means of an epoxy injection system. This system shall consist of a paste epoxy used to seal the surface cracks and an injection epoxy used under low pressure, 200 psi (1400 kPa) max., to penetrate and fill the cracks and bond the crack surfaces together. Material for each epoxy shall consist of a two-component modified resin bonding system. The unmodified resin shall be known as Component A and the hardener as Component B. Arrange to have a manufacturer’s representative at the job site to familiarize him and the Engineer with the epoxy materials, application procedures and recommended pressure practice. This representative shall direct at least one complete crack or area injection and be assured prior to his departure from the project that the personnel are adequately inf ormed to satisfactorily perform the remaining repairs. Furnish the Engineer a copy of the manufacturer’s comprehensive preparation, mixing and application instructions which have been developed especially for use with the proposed epoxy injection system. Ensure that any significant changes to these instructions which are recommended by the representative for an unanticipated situation have been approved by the Engineer prior to the adoption of such changes. Clean concrete surfaces adjacent to the cracks to be sealed only to the extent necessary to achieve an adequate bond with the paste epoxy, and only by procedures which will not cause abrasive grits or concrete dust to penetrate the cracks. Do not permit th e use of solvents or thinners in cracks or on bonding surfaces. Install injection ports or tees in cracks to be injected. Space injection ports or tees at 6 to 12 inches (150 to 300 mm) vertically and 6 to 18 inches (150 to 450 mm) horizontally but in no case closer together than the thickness of the concrete member if full depth penetration is desired unless otherwise 356 specified or directed. Set ports or tees in dust free holes made either with vacuum drills or chipping hammers. Seal all surface cracks in the area to be repaired, after injection ports or tees have been inserted into the holes, with paste epoxy between po rts to ensure retention of the pressure injected epoxy within the confines of the member. The Department will allow an alternative procedure of sealing the cracks before the injection holes have been made. Limit the application of paste epoxy to clean and dry surfaces. Limit substrate temperatures to not less than 45 °F(7 °C) during epoxy applications. Begin the epoxy injection at the bottom of the fractured area and progress upward using a port or tee filling sequence that will ensure the filling of the lowermost injection ports or tees first. Establish injection procedures and the depths and spacings of holes at injection ports or tees. Use epoxy with flow characteristics and injection pressure that ensure no further damage will be done to the member being repaired. Ensure that the epoxy will f irst fill the innermost portion of the cracked concrete and that the potential for creating voids within the crack or epoxy will be minimized. Remove the injection ports or tees flush with the concrete surface after the fractured area has been filled and the epoxy has partially cured (24 hours at ambient temperature not less than 60 °F (16 °C), otherwise not less than 48 hours). Roughen the surfaces of the repaired areas to achieve uniform surface texture. Remove any injection epoxy runs or spills from concrete surfaces. Obtain two 4 -inch (100 mm) diameter core samples in the first 100 linear feet (30 m) of crack repaired and one core for each 100 linear feet (30 m) thereafter. Take the core samples from locations determined by the Engineer and for the full crack depth. Cores will be visibly examined by the Engineer to determine the extent of epoxy penetration. Repair the core holes in the concrete with material specified in 705.21.
512.08Waterproofing
spray equipment. If using spray equipment, provide portable power pressure type spraying equipment capable of being moved to the location of the waterproofing operation. Protect concrete surfaces not covered with waterproofing from overspray, spilling, or otherwise marring of the surface with the asphalt materials. Ensure that the edge of any exposed application is sharply defined true to line with a uniform exposure. Do not apply waterproofing fabric or membranes over attachments and hardware. Seal the discontinuities in waterproofing with Asphalt, 702.06, or hot applied joint sealer, 705.04.

The application of this product shall follow the manufacturer’s written recommendations, which shall be provided to the project. Keep membrane and primer materials dry before installation. Heat the membrane primer in an oil primer heated, double -jacket kettle. Use a kettle that is clean and free of other materials with any obvious buildup scraped out. The Contractor may use a single - jacket kettle if the primer is capable of being heated in direct fire to the application temperature. Heat primers within the manufacturer’s recommended temperatures. On bridges with curbs, apply the primer and membrane 3 inches (75 mm) up the curb face. On prestressed box beam bridges with no approach slab, apply the primer and membrane 6 inches (150 mm) over the ends of the beams. On prestressed and slab bridges with approach slabs, apply the primer 2 feet (600 mm) out onto the approach slab. If the plans require a Type 3 membrane on the top exterior surface of precast concrete three - or four-sided structures, apply the primer and membrane to overlay the vertical exterior sides of the structure by 12 inches (300 mm). Apply primer no further than 5 feet (1.5 m) in front of the membrane using a squeegee to fill all voids and imperfections. Apply membrane from the low to the high side of the surface. Apply an extra bead of primer at the edge of the membrane. Lap joints in membranes by at least 3 inches (75 mm). After installing the membrane over the entire surface, seal joints in the membrane by applying primer and smoothing with a V-squeegee. If asphalt pavement is to be placed directly over the water proofing membrane, first apply tack coat as specified in 407 without damaging the membrane.
512.09Method of Measurement. The Department will measure Waterproofing , of the type
specified, by the number of square yards (square meters) or on a lump sum basis. The Department will measure sealing of concrete surfaces by the number of square yards (square meters) of coated area projected to a two-dimensional surface. The Department will measure the removal of existing coatings from concrete surfaces in square yards (square meters) removed. The Department will measure the sealing of concrete bridge decks with HMWM resin and treating concrete bridge decks with SRS as the actual area in square yards (square meters ) of surfaces treated. The Department will measure the actual length in linear feet (meters) of crack repaired by epoxy injection. The Department will measure the removal of pavement markings using the same method of measurement as completed markings in the units designated per Item 641. 359
