Horizontal surfaces: <br />1. <br />Dry-sprinkle waterproofing material to freshly poured slabs at 2.0 lb/sq.yd. (1.0 kg/sq.m) and <br />power or hand trowel.</p> <p>F.</p> <p>3.4</p> <p>2.</p> <p>Dry distribute to pre-watered mud slab or existing slab to receive another topping at 2.25 <br />lb/sq.yd. (1.2 kg/sq.m) immediately prior to casting the structural slab or new topping. <br />Alternatively apply in slurry form. Contact manufacturer for guidance.</p> <p>3.</p> <p>Brush or spray apply waterproofing material in slurry consistency, in one coat on existing <br />slabs. <br />a. <br />For standard applications, apply at rate of 2.0 lb/sq.yd. (1.0 kg/sq.m). <br />b. <br />For applications in contact with salt or waste water, apply at rate of 2.5 - 2.8 lb/sq.yd. <br />(1.4 to 1.5 kg/sq.m). <br />c. <br />Spread material evenly and work it well into the surface.</p> <p>Vertical Surfaces: <br />1. <br />Apply base coat of waterproofing material in slurry consistency at uniform rate of 1.25 - 1.4 <br />lb/sq.yd. (0.7 to 0.75 kg/sq.m). Apply using appropriate compressed-air spray equipment, stiff <br />masonry brush or stiff broom. <br />2. <br />After base coat has reached initial set but is still "green" (tacky), apply finish slurry coat of <br />waterproofing material at 1.25 - 1.4 lb/sq.yd. (0.7 to 0.75 kg/sq.m). Apply so that final brush or <br />broom strokes leave parallel, uniform texture.

At the end of the curing period, the surfaces shall be saturated with water and <br />neutralized with a 1:8 solution of muriatic acid. Rinse waterproofed areas thoroughly with clean water.</p> <p>07 16 16-4</p> <p>Crystalline Waterproofing</p> <p>************************************************************************************* <br />Specifier: THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE APPLIES ONLY TO WATER TANKS, RESERVOIRS, ETC. <br />************************************************************************************* <br />3.6 <br />ADJUSTING</p> <p>3.7</p> <p>A.</p> <p>Following application and completion of related work, as required, but well prior to completion of entire <br />project, fill tanks to capacity and allow to stand not less than 1 week. As a guide, a relatively small tank <br />should be filled over a period of three days. Fill larger structures at a uniform rate not greater than 6.5 <br />feet (2 m) in 24 hours. Should leakage occur after this period due to initial loading forces or thermal <br />stress (i.e. cold water contacting warmer concrete), drain tanks to perform repairs. Notify Owner prior to <br />draining tanks.</p> <p>B.</p> <p>Stop leakage due to curing and shrinkage cracks in concrete, which can develop during this period by <br />installing plugs, seal-strips and additional surface treatment at no additional cost to the Owner. <br />Following all required repairs, re-test by refilling tank and allow to stand not less than 1 week. Follow <br />this procedure until all leakage is eliminated.</p> <p>C.</p> <p>Thoroughly rinse all tanks and reservoirs with water and with 100 ppm chlorine water solution if this is <br />included in the waterproofing contract.</p> <p>ACCEPTANCE <br />A. <br />B.</p> <p>Remove left over materials and any foreign material resulting from the work from the site. <br />Clean adjacent surfaces and materials. <br />END OF SECTION</p> <p>07 16 16-5</p> <p>Project: ........
