13.17. Installation of Sealant:

• After approval of the test section, seal joints immediately following final cleaning and placing of bond breakers.

• Commence sealing joints when walls are dust free and dry, and when weather conditions meet sealant manufacturer’s instructions. If the above conditions cannot be met, or when rain interrupts sealing operations, reclean and permit the joints to dry prior to installing the sealant.

• Do not install joint sealant until joints to be sealed have been inspected and approved.

Install bond breaker just prior to pouring sealant. Fill the joints with sealant from bottom up until joints are uniformly filled solid from bottom to top using the specified equipment for the type of sealant required. Fill joints to 1/8 inch plus or minus 1/16 inch below top of pavement, and without formation of voids or entrapped air.

• Do not permit gravity methods or pouring pots to be used to install the sealant material.

• Except as otherwise permitted, tool the sealant immediately after application to provide firm contact with the joint walls and to form the indicated sealant profile below the pavement surface.

• Remove excess sealant that has been inadvertently spilled on the pavement surface.

• Do not permit traffic over newly sealed pavement until authorized.

• When a primer is recommended by the manufacturer, apply it evenly to the joint faces in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

• Check sealed joints frequently to ensure that newly installed sealant is cured to a tack-free condition within the specified time.

• Protect new sealant from rain during curing period.

13.18. Inspection/Field Quality Control:

• Joint Cleaning

Inspect joints during the cleaning process to correct improper equipment and cleaning techniques that damage the concrete pavement in any manner. Approve cleaned joints prior to installation of the separating or back-up material and joint sealant.
