I, for some reason, the total thickness is fo be built up in sdceessive operations, the previous layer shout be allowed fo sel but not become hard before the application of fie ‘subsequent layor. Gunitng shall always be done on a damp concrate surface. 2807.13 Where required, welded wire fabies 50 mm x 50 mm x No. 10 gauge shal be provided inthe first layer of gunting, The fabric shal be tied propery In case the damage to the conorote member is vary deop, the specications for guniing 2 well as requirement ‘of placoment of wire mas, has to be decided as per feld conditions, 2807.14 The stipulations given in 1S:9012 ragerding application of gunte should be followed s0 a8 to keep the rebound to the minimum. The qualty of gunting and werkrenship shall be such that the percentage of rebound mentioned in 189012 can be adhered to, ln no Circumstances shall the rebound material be re-used in te vark 2807.15 It would be desirable that green gunite Is moistened for at least 7 days. uniting work shal nt be dona during windy or rainy conditions. 2808 PROTECTIVE SURFACE COATING OF CONCRETE BY ACRYLIC ELASTOMERIC COATING 2808.4 ‘The acrylic elastomeric coating shall be water based (solvent free}, modified with selected mineral filers applied over the prepared surface. The coating should have anti-carbonation and water vapor diftsion property and shoul ba resistant to action of uta Yiolet (UV) radiation, It should be waterproof and capable of bridging erazings and cracks. ‘The shet it for such coatings shall not be more than 6 months. 808.2 Itis necessary that the system should be capable of protecting the surfaces & re-stessed and reinforced concrete members from all deteterious elements such as Chlorides and sulphates. The protective treatment should allow excess water vapour in the ‘onereis to evaporate out (breathing) without rupturing self due to vapour pressure. The Protective system itself should not deterocate from exposure {9 UV rays and weathering, The acrylic elastomeric costing system shall satisly the requirements given in ‘Table 2800-2, ‘Table 2800-2: Propertis of Acrylic Elastomerie Coating SENG.

Wi) Coverage 75 gmim? to 100 gmmn® (depending upon ‘smoothness and absorption of concrete surface) 2808.3 Quality Assurance The Acrylic elastomeric material should be tesied in GOI accredited laboratories where ‘such laboratories are available, otherwise in other standard latoratories where similar facilis exist for properties specified above. Random samples during execution shall be faken from consignments brought to site to very thatthe test resuts metch with the eatior certficstes produced before approval of vie product. Both the test results (orior to approvel nd during execution), shall conform to the requirements as per Table 2600-1, fang which the consignment shall be rejected. t shall ba mace mandatory that he stock register forthe ‘materials are maintained at ste and signed by the Engineer periodical, m7Repair of Structures, Section 2800 2008.4 Surface Preparation ‘The work shell commence efter carrying out eny repair tothe concrete surface as directed by the Engineer. The concrete surface shal be Tre from all adhesion inhibiting substances such as oll grease release agents as well as sitence and dist. The surface shal be cleaned by wire brushing, mechanical scraping and any loose malatial shall be removed by chiseing vith small hammer and washed with clean water. The substrata shall be stucturely sound for effective bond ofthe acryc polymer with the concrete surface. Al pin holes shall be filed vith non-shrink polymer modifies fine repair morte. 2808.5 Application ‘After preparing the surface and filing the pin holes, primer coat (75-100 gmisqim.) shall be ‘2ppiled with brushvlambskinroller/spray gun and shall be cured for 60 minules oF os specified by the manufacturer ‘Subsequently, 1" and 2° coats of polymer coating shall bs applied with brushispray guni roller keeping the time between coats not less than 2h and rot mare than 72h. Consumption Pe coat shall be 200-225 gr. The total dry fim thickness ofthe protective coating fo ll Coats shall be in the range of 200-225 microns. The wet fir thickness shal be measured st numberof selected locations a the time of application with painting gauges. For measuring the dy fim thickness, suitably located painting gauge shall te used. Atleast one gauge shell belocated on each face of superstructure in each span but nat less than one gauge/00 sqm. For the given solid contentin the application the dry flm thickness to wet fm thickness ratio should be established by prior testing in the laboratory using aporopriate panels lke glass Plates, flat concrete, steel plates (300 x 300 mith similr coatings. Alternatively, the dry {im thickness may be calculated from the measured wet flmthickness by muliplying with the sold contents per unit volume, 208.6 Porformance Guarantee This type of protective coating shall be executed only through authorized technical applicators of standard menutactures who have requisite work experience for having earied ovt similar ‘ype coating works. The Engineer shall teke performance guarantee from the agency responsible forthe execution ofthe work for minimum pert of § years. 2809 PROTECTIVE SURFACE COATING OF CONCRETE BY PATENTED ‘SYSTEMS OF COATING Palonted system of protective coating lke epoxy polyurethane painting system, epoxy Phenolic protectiva system and other systems shallbe used ony with the approval af Engineer ‘after the assessment ofthe performance ofthe product, backed by certificates from users, ‘cceptance tests as per published standards, pertinently to cover the material, processes, 715
