PART 3    EXECUTION
3.1	EXAMINATION
A.	Verification of Conditions: Examine areas and conditions under which Work is to be performed and identify conditions that may be detrimental to proper or timely completion.
1.	Verify masonry joints found to be unsound, hollow, or otherwise defective, have been raked out to a depth of 1/2 inch (13 mm) and pointed with mortar.
2.	Verify cracks that exceed 1/64 inch (1.6 mm) wide have been filled with pointing mortar.
B.	Do not proceed until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2	PREPARATION
A.	Protection: Install coverings to protect adjacent surfaces. 
B.	Surface Preparation:
1.	Surfaces to receive sealer shall be cleaned of dirt, oil, grease, laitance, and other contaminants. Oil, grease and other automotive contaminants shall be removed with degreasers. All other surfaces shall be cleaned by high pressure water; 3000 psi (20.7 MPa). High pressure water is the minimum cleaning that will be accepted, other methods, such as blast-tracking, mobile power scrubbing and sandblasting may be submitted for approval.
2.	Remove dirt, dust and materials that will interfere with the proper and effective application of the penetrating sealer. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to prepare the surfaces of the concrete to a condition acceptable to the Owner.
3.	Equipment during floor slab cleaning shall not exceed the height limitation of the facility and shall not exceed a 3,000 lbs (1360 kg) axle load or vehicle gross weight of 6,000 lbs (2721 kg).
4.	Check the compatibility of all caulking, patching, and traffic marking materials to be used with the penetrating sealer.
5.	Sealants, patching materials, and expansion joints shall have been installed and approved by the Architect.
3.3	FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A.	Spray Test: After water repellent has dried, spray coated surfaces with water.
1.	After surfaces have adequately dried, recoat surfaces that show water absorption.
B.	RILEM Uptake Test:
1.	Prepare a three feet by three feet area to be sprayed with the water repellent. The area will be determined by the Owner. Apply the water repellent by saturating the surface, working your way from the bottom up.
2.	After allowing five days for the sample to cure, run a RILEM uptake test on the treated area.
3.	Place one tube on the brick and one tube on a mortar joint. Owner shall be present for the application of the water repellent and the test.
4.	Coverage rate used to pass this test section shall be used on entire project.
C.	Alcohol Test: After anti-graffiti coating has dried, spray coated surfaces with isopropyl alcohol.
1.	After surfaces have adequately dried, recoat surfaces that show absorption of the alcohol.
D.	Bond tests shall be conducted to judge the suitability of concrete substrates.
1.	Crack Sealer shall be applied, allowed to cure, and tested for adhesion in accordance with ASTM D4541. Bond strengths of less than 250 psi (1.7 MPa) or those not exhibiting failure within the concrete shall result in additional preparation and additional bond testing until the required result is attained.
E.	Test Area:
1.	Before sealer application, the following field evaluation shall be done. The cost of the field testing will be the responsibility of the Water Repellent Manufacturer.
2.	Prepare a five by five area to be sprayed with the water repellent. The area will be determined by the Architect. Apply the water repellent at the specified rate to the test area.
3.	After curing the material for 3 days, remove two 3x3 core samples, and perform ASTM D6489.
F.	Manufacturer's Field Services:
1.	Furnish written certification that surface preparation method and final condition has manufacturer's approval and comply with the warranty.
2.	Furnish results of tests on each type of substrate. Test results shall determine application rate for the entire project.
3.4	APPLICATION
A.	Product shall be applied as supplied by the manufacturer without dilution or alteration.
B.	Spray Application; Apply with a low-pressure, 15 psi (103.4 kPa) airless spray equipment with a fan spray coarse nozzle, flooding the surface to obtain uniform coverage unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer.
1.	Apply at a rate of not less than manufacturer's recommendation or as determined for substrate by test patch data. Provide field tests to determine rate of application that is necessary to meet the performance requirements.
2.	Brush apply water repellent only at locations where overspray would affect adjacent materials and where not practicable for spray application.
C.	Flood Application: Treat horizontal surfaces in a flooding application until the material ponds on the surface. After 10 or 15 minutes sweep, squeegee, or mop any remaining puddles to dry areas.
D.	Corrosion inhibitor shall be applied in accordance with the use of either spray, brush, or roller as per manufacturer's recommendations. Corrosion inhibitor shall be applied at a net coverage rate of 75 to 100 sq ft per gal (1.8 to 2.34 sq m per L) in two or three equal coats with a minimum one hr dry time between coats.
E.	Crack Sealer Application:
1.	Sealer shall be installed according to the Manufacturer's recommendations in accordance with the instructions of the Architect.

4.	Crack sealer shall be poured onto the deck and evenly distributed over the surface with brooms, brushes, rollers or squeegees.
5.	In areas of dense concrete where crack sealer has not penetrated and where product has accumulated on the surface, silica sand shall be broadcast at a rate not to exceed 3 lbs per 100 sq ft (150 g per sq m) to provide for a suitable non-skid surface until the Crack Sealer is worn off by traffic flow.
F.	Apply at temperature and weather conditions recommended by the manufacturer or written in this specification.
G.	Follow manufacturer's recommendations concerning protection of glass, metal and other non-porous substrates. Contractor will be responsible to clean all surfaces that are contaminated by the water repellent.
