2.2 Non-Shrink Grout
A.Refer to ASTM C 1107.
2.3 High Density Polyurethane
A.Refer to Section 02755.
Part 3 — Execution
3.1 Preparation
A.Establish a final target approach slab profile using an elevation measuring device or string lines.
B.Clean all adjacent joints before jacking to allow free movement of the slab.
C.Locate structural steel by ferroscanning or other method approved by the Engineer.
1.Do not damage existing rebar during preparation or installation.
D.Drill a minimum of four evenly spaced holes into each half of the approach slab where required to obtain uniform grout or polyurethane placement.
1.Drill vertical holes that are round.
2.Drill holes with a maximum diameter of 3 inches.
E.Do not crack approach slab.
1.Follow Section 03924 to repair approach slab cracks if they develop.
F.Protect integrity of approach slab drains.
1.Drains in precast approach slabs may require additional preparation and procedures.
2.These must be approved by the Engineer before execution.
3.2 Installation
A.Pump, in a pattern, the amount of material required to completely fill the voids underneath the slab.
1.Raise the approach slab to within plus or minus ⅛ inch from the final targeted approach slab profile.
B.Remove polyurethane material from the drill holes to the full depth of the approach slab at the completion of the pumping operation and clean the full depth of the holes along the circumference with a wire brush.
1.Dampen the walls of the holes prior to grout placement.
C.Fill the holes with non-shrink grout. Overfill the holes by ¼ inch.
D.Grind the non-shrink grout used to fill the holes flush with the top of the approach slab.
