PART 2 PRODUCTS

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.01 CONCRETE SLAB PREPARATION

A. PROPER SURFACE PREPARATION INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

1. Removal of existing floor coatings

2. Decontamination of the concrete surface

3. Creation of surface profile

4. Repair of surface irregularities

B. DECONTAMINATION OF THE CONCRETE SURFACE

1. Decontamination of the concrete surface requires the removal of oils, grease, wax, fatty acids and other contaminants, and may be accomplished by the use of detergent scrubbing with a heavy duty cleaner/degreaser, low pressure water cleaning (less than 5,000 psi), steam cleaning, or chemical cleaning. The success of these methods is dependent upon the depth of penetration of the contaminant;

which is completely dependent upon the contaminant’s viscosity, the concrete’s permeability and the duration of exposure. Special care should be taken when preparing concrete at an "in use" facility for repair, replacement or an initial floor topping.

2. Test concrete substrate for moisture vapor emission using test methods recommended by manufacturer of flooring system being installed.

C. CREATION OF SURFACE PROFILE

090561 - 4

1. A. Creation of surface profile can be accomplished by a number of methods each utilizing a selection of tools, equipment and materials to accomplish the intended purpose, (See METHODS OF SURFACE PREPARATION below). Selection is dependent upon the type of surface to be prepared and the type of system to be installed. In addition, floors, trenches each have their own particular requirements.

The type and thickness of the selected flooring system also plays an important role in the selection process. Regardless of the method selected or tools employed, the contractor must provide a surface that will accept the application of flooring products and allow the mechanical bond of the flooring system securely to the concrete. The type of service the structure will be subjected to, will also help to define the degree of profile required. The surface profile is the measure of the average distance from the peaks of the surface to the valleys as seen through a cross sectional view of the surface of the concrete.

2. This dimension is defined pictorially and through physical samples in the ICRI

Technical Guideline No 03732, and is expressed as a Concrete Surface Profile number (CSP 1-9).

3. Methods of Surface Preparation

a. Depending upon conditions of the concrete one or more methods of surface preparation may be required. It is common for decontamination to precede mechanical preparation, and if necessary a second decontamination to follow.

b. The preferred methods for creation of a surface profile, including the removal of dirt, dust, laitance and curing compounds, is steel shotblasting, abrasive

(sand) blasting or scarifying. The steel shotblasting or vacuum blasting process is commonly referenced by equipment brand names, such as, Blastrac, Vacu-Blast, Shot-Blast, etc. Vertical and overhead surfaces, such as cove base, wall, and ceiling surfaces shall be prepared utilizing methods of grinding, scarifying, abrasive (sand) blasting, needle scaling, or vertical steel shotblasting. The following table provides a guide for the degree of surface profile required for the coating or overlay to be applied and the preparation methods used to generate each profile. Provide written instruction from manufacturer to the Government regarding profile requirements and recommended method for achieving profile.

PREPARATION REFERENCES.

D. REPAIR OF SURFACE IRREGULARITIES

1. Repair of surface irregularities including bugholes, spalls, cracks, deteriorated joints, slopes, areas near transition zones, such as around drains, floor boxes, doorways, etc. must be repaired prior to the placement of the flooring system and/or the system must be designed to off-set the thickness of the irregularities.

For bugholes and other minor surface irregularities, fill using materials recommended by manufacturer of flooring system. For treatment of cracks and joints refer to the section below entitled “Crack Isolation”.

E. CRACK ISOLATION

1. The performance of elastomeric products, requires a relatively uniform dry film thickness to resist drying shrinkage and thermal movement of the concrete, while maintaining a seamless bridge or seal over the concrete. Therefore it is critical that all mortar splatter, protrusions, ridges, penetrations, or sharp projections in the surface of the concrete, be ground smooth or otherwise made smooth, in addition to the normal surface preparation outlined above.

2. Prior to application of an elastomeric system, control/contraction joints, construction joints, and cracks should be sealed with the selected system flexible sealant as recommended by manufacturer of flooring system. This coating should extend a minimum of 6” on either side of the joint or crack. The entire surface area should then receive the specified crack isolation system. Isolation and/or expansion joints should be detailed in accordance with the floor system manufacturer’s recommendations.

090561 - 6

3. General Polymer systems can be applied to a variety of substrates if the substrate is properly prepared. Preparation of surfaces other than concrete or steel, such as wood, concrete block, brick, quarry tile, glazed tile, cement terrazzo, vinyl composition tile, plastics and existing polymer systems, can be accomplished to receive bonded polymer sealers, coatings, or toppings. For questions regarding a substrate other than concrete or steel, or a condition not mentioned in this guideline, contact the product Technical Service Department prior to starting the project. For steel surfaces, refer to Guideline Instructions for Surface Preparation of Structural Steel, Form G-2.Repair of surface irregularities including bugholes, spalls, cracks, deteriorated joints, slopes, areas near transition zones, such as around drains, floor boxes, doorways, etc. must be repaired prior to the placement of the flooring system and/or the system must be designed to off-set the thickness of the irregularities.
