1.0 Scope of Work

The DMS serves as a field concrete surface touch-up and repairing procedure on various
defects during the period of construction of Development of Xxxxxx.
Concrete work in this project consists of 1471 numbers of precast block (Mass Concrete),
precast 1.2km of retaining wall (Plain Concrete) and 1.1km of Cast-in-situ Breast Wall
(Reinforced Concrete).
SIKAGROUT 217 is selected for major works of repairing and touch-up of concrete surface,
which the type of material falls into Class R-4 categorized in BS 1504-3. Using mortar
classified as structural repairing material for cosmetic work should be consider acceptable for
this particular situation.
SIKA RAPID MORTAR is selected for repairing damaged concrete in tidal zone for its nature
of fast hardening, allowing the repair may be completed in 3 hours.

4.0 Application Procedure

4.1 Class A Accidental Damage & Cosmetic Repair

Remove loose material by wire brush or chisel.

Dampen the surface.

Mix repairing material in accordance with manufacturers instructions.

Place the material with screed appropriately or apply water/cement mixture by brush.

Finishing shall be in good appearance and similar with adjacent concrete.

Curing shall be carried out at least 24 hours for SIKAGROUT 217.

4.2 Class B Minor Cavity

Remove loose or foreign material by wire brush or chisel.

Dampen the surface.

Mix SIKAGROUT 217 or SIKA RAPID MORTAR in accordance with manufacturers instructions.

Place the material with screed appropriately.

Finishing shall be in good appearance and similar with adjacent concrete.

Curing shall be carried out at least 24 hours for SIKAGROUT 217.

4.3 Class C Major Cavity and Cracks

Remove excess materials to obtain a regular dimension. Chisel the surface to expose coarse aggregate.
Where reinforcement is exposed, cut back concrete to a minimum of 20mm beyond reinforcement to
ensure repair mortar/concrete envelops the exposed reinforcement.

Provide formwork if necessary.

Presoak the surface for 4 to 6 hours for using SIKAGROUT 217. Surface shall be prevented from direct
sunlight by means of coverage.

Mix SIKAGROUT 217 or SIKA RAPID MORTAR in accordance with manufacturers instructions, or use
concrete. The SIKA RAPID MORTAR shall be mixed into creamy like material as per the material data
sheet.

Place SIKAGROUT 217 or SIKA RAPID MORTAR with proper method. Grouting materials infilled shall
be tamped or vibrated to ensure the bonding and consistency. Apply SIKA RAPID MORTAR with screed.

Finishing shall be in good appearance and similar with adjacent concrete.

Curing shall be carried out at least 24 hours for SIKAGROUT 217.

4.4 Class D Minor Honeycomb

Refer to Section 4.2.
4.5 Class E Major Honeycomb

Refer to Section 4.3.
