If it is later determined that the contractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government the department may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

1670-04-82 7 of 14

Material Storage: Store and handle materials according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Store resin materials in their original containers in a dry area. Store all aggregates in a dry environment and protect aggregates from contaminants on the job site.

C.2 Deck Preparation C.2.1 Deck Repair Remove all asphaltic patches and unsound or disintegrated areas of the concrete decks as the plans show, or as the engineer directs. Work performed to remove and repair the concrete deck will be paid for under other items.

Use deck patching products that are compatible with the overlay system. Patching materials with magnesium phosphate shall not be used. Place patches after surface is prepared via shot blasting and cleaning as described in Section C.2.2 of this specification. Portland cement concrete patches shall be used for joint repairs and full depth deck repairs with a plan area larger than 4 sf, unless approved otherwise by the Structures Design Section. If rapid-set concrete is used, place patches per the manufacturer’s recommendation. If Portland cement concrete is used, place patches per standard spec 509.3.9.1.

Deck patching shall be filled and properly finished prior to overlay placement. Do not place overlay less than 1 hour, or per the manufacturer’s recommendation, after placing rapid-set concrete patches in the repair areas. Do not place overlay less than 28 days after placing Portland cement concrete patches in the repair areas.

C.2.2 Surface Preparation Determine an acceptable shotblasting machine operation (size of shot, flow of shot, forward speed, and/or number of passes) that provides a surface profile meeting CSP 5 (medium-heavy shotblast) according to the ICRI Technical Guideline No. 310.2. If the engineer requires additional verification of the surface preparation, test the tensile bond strength according to ASTM C1593. The surface preparation will be considered acceptable if the tensile bond strength is greater than or equal to 250 psi or the failure area at a depth of 1/4 inches or more is greater than 50 percent of the test area. Continue adjustment of the shotblasting machine and necessary testing until the surface is acceptable to the engineer or a passing test result is obtained.

Prepare the entire deck using the final accepted adjustments to the shotblasting machine as determined above. Thoroughly blast clean with hand-held equipment any areas inaccessible by the shotblasting equipment. Do not perform surface preparation more than 24 hours before the application of the overlay system.

Protect drains, expansion joints, access hatches, or other appurtenances on the deck from damage by the shot and sand blasting operations and from materials adhering and entering. Tape or form all construction joints to provide a clean straight edge.

Before shot blasting, remove pavement markings within the treatment area using an approved mechanical or blasting method.

Prepare the vertical concrete surfaces adjacent to the deck a minimum of 2” above the overlay according to SSPC-SP 13 (free of contaminants, dust, and loose concrete) by sand blasting, using wire wheels, or other approved method.

Just before overlay placement, clean all dust, debris, and concrete fines from the prepared surfaces including the vertical surfaces with compressed air. When using compressed air, the air stream must be free of oil. Any grease, oil, or other foreign matter that rests on or has absorbed into the concrete shall be removed completely. If prepared surfaces (including the first layer of the polymer overlay) are exposed to rain or dew, lightly sandblast (brush/breeze blast) the exposed surfaces.

The engineer may consider alternate surface preparation methods per the overlay system manufacture’s recommendations. The engineer will approve the final surface profile and deck cleanliness before the contractor placing the polymer overlay.

C.2.3 Transitional Area If the plans show, create a transitional area approaching transverse expansion joints and ends of the deck using an approved mechanical or blasting method. Remove 1/4 inch to 5/16 inch of concrete adjacent to the joint or end of deck and taper a distance of 3 feet.

1670-04-82 8 of 14

If the plans show, create a transitional area on the approach pavement. Prep and place the first lift 3 feet beyond the end of the deck the same width as the deck. Prep and place the second lift 6 feet beyond the end of the deck the same width as the deck.

C.3 Overlay Application Perform the handling and mixing of the polymer resin and hardening agent in a safe manner to achieve the desired results according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not apply the overlay system if any of the following exists:

1. Ambient air temperature is below 50 F or above 100 F.

2. Deck temperature is below 50 F.

3. Moisture content in the deck exceeds 4.5 percent when measured by an electronic moisture meter or shows visible moisture after 2 hours when measured in accordance with ASTM D4263.

4. Rain is forecasted during the minimum curing periods listed under C.5.

5. Materials component temperatures below 65 F or above 99 F.

6. Concrete deck age is less than 28 days.

7. The deck temperature exceeds 100 F.

8. If the gel time is 10 minutes or less at the predicted high air temperature for the day.

After the deck has been shotblasted or during the overlay curing period, only necessary surface preparation and overlay application equipment will be allowed on the deck. Provide appropriate protective measures to prevent contamination from equipment allowed on the deck during preparation and application operations. Begin overlay placement as soon as possible after surface preparation operations.

The polymer overlay shall consist of a two-course application of polymer and aggregate. Each of the two courses shall consist of a layer of polymer covered with a layer of aggregate in sufficient quantity to completely cover the polymer. Apply the polymer and aggregate according to the manufacturer’s requirements. Apply the overlay using equipment designed for this purpose. The application machine shall feature positive displacement volumetric metering and be capable of storing and mixing the polymer resins at the proper mix ratio. Disperse the aggregate using a method that provides a uniform, consistent coverage of aggregate and minimizes aggregate rolling or bouncing into final position. First course applications that do not receive enough aggregate before the polymer gels shall be removed and replaced. A second course applied with insufficient aggregate may be left in place, but will require additional applications before opening to traffic.

After completion of each course, cure the overlay according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Follow the minimum cure times listed under C.5 or as prescribed by the manufacturer. Remove the excess aggregate from the surface treatment by sweeping, blowing, or vacuuming without tearing or damaging the surface; the material may be re-used if approved by the engineer and manufacturer. Apply all courses of the overlay system before opening the area to traffic. Do not allow equipment or traffic on the treated area until directed by the engineer.

After the first layer of coating has cured to the point where the aggregate cannot be pulled out, apply the second layer. Before applying the second layer, broom and blow off the first layer with compressed air to remove all loose excess aggregate.

Before opening to traffic, clean expansion joints and joint seals of all debris and polymer. A minimum of 3 days following opening to traffic, remove loosened aggregates from the deck, expansion joints, and approach pavement.

C.4 Application Rates Apply the polymer overlay in two separate courses in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, but not less than the following rate of application.

Course Minimum Polymer Rate[1]

(GAL/100 SF)

Aggregate[2]

(LBS/SY)
