1092EPOXY PROTECTION FOR STRUCTURAL STEEL

PA · 2026 Standard SpecificationsBook pages 12211225View official source ↗

1091. 1 1091.4(b)

1091.1DESCRIPTION —This work is the preparation and sealing of cracks with epoxy resin mixture,

excluding overhead sealing .

1091.2MATERIAL —

(a)Epoxy Resin System. Provide a system conforming to the strength requirements of ASTM C881 ,

Type I, Grade 1, Section 706.1, for epoxy injection and from a manufacturer listed in Bulletin 15 .

(b)Surface Seal. Provide a surface seal as recommended by the manufacturer and of adequate strength

to hold injection fittings firmly in place and to resist injection pressures adequately to prevent leakage during injection.

(c)Injection Fittings. As recommended by the manufacturer.
(d)Certification. Section 106.03(b)3

1091.3CONSTRUCTION —Construct as directed and as follows:

(a)Preliminary Work. The Representative will mark areas to be sealed.
(b)Preparation for Sealing. Thoroughly clean the surfaces of rust, scale, grease, loose and disintegrated

particles, and material. Remove unsound concrete and mortar as directed. Glue injection ports in place at spacings as recommended by the manufacturer. Bevel cracks, as directed, to facilitate installation of injection ports. Seal the surface and areas surrounding the entry ports with surface seal. Apply seal so that the epoxy injection resin is sealed until initially cured.

(c)Mixing Epoxy Resin System. Mix the epoxy resin system according to the manufacturer's instructions

with a minimum 180 second mixing time using a low speed (400 rpm to 600 rpm) electric drill with an approved mixing paddle. The mixing may also be accomplished by an injection machine capable of metering and mixing the specific proportions of components within a tolerance of ± 5%.

(d)Injection Procedure. Do not inject the cracked area until after the surface sealer has hardened. Inject

the epoxy with a hand held gun, pressure pot, or injection machine or as recommended by the manufacturer. Start injection at the lowest point on the crack. When the material begins to flow from the next higher entry port, remove the nozzle, plug the port, and insert the nozzle in the next higher entry port. Continue the operation until the crack is completely filled. After the epoxy material has achieved an initial cure, remove the entry ports and, if necessary, patch the areas with the same material used to seal the rest of the crack surface.

(e)Application Limitations. Do not apply or inject epoxy materials if the ambient or concrete temperature

is below 50F.
