PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1
EXAMINATION
A.
Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
B.
Verify substrate surfaces are ready to receive work as instructed by coating manufacturer.
Obtain and follow manufacturer's instructions for maximum moisture content, installation
09670-10
tolerances and other conditions affecting flooring performance.
3.2
3.3
C.
Moisture Testing: Perform anhydrous calcium chloride test conforming to ASTM F 1869 on
all areas to receive fluid applied flooring systems.
1.
Perform three tests for the first 1,000 SF and one test per 1,000 SF after that.
2.
Application may proceed only when the vapor/moisture emission rates from the slab is
less than and not higher than 3 lbs/1000 SF/24 hr.
D.
If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of
unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
PREPARATION
A.
Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
B.
Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the
best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
C.
New concrete shall be moisture cured for a minimum of 7 days and have fully cured a
minimum of 28 days in accordance with ACI-308.
D.
Concrete shall have a flat float or light trowel finish
E.
Concrete surfaces on grade shall have been constructed with a vapor barrier to protect
against effects of vapor transmission and possible delamination of the fluid applied flooring
system.
F.
New and existing concrete surfaces shall be free of oil, grease, curing compounds, sealers,
loose particles, moss, algae growth, laitance, friable matter, dirt and bituminous products.
G.
No visible moisture shall be present on the surface at the time of application.
H.
Mechanical surface preparation
1.
Shot blast all surfaces to receive flooring system with a mobile steel shot, dust
recycling machine. All surface and embedded accumulations of paint, toppings
hardened concrete layers, laitance, power trowel finishes and other similar surface
characteristics shall be completely removed leaving a bare concrete surface having a
profile of CSP 3-5 as described by the International Concrete Repair Institute.
2.
Floor areas inaccessible to the mobile blast machines shall be mechanically abraded
to the same degree of cleanliness, soundness and profile using diamond grinders,
needle guns, bush hammers, or other suitable equipment.
3.
Where the perimeter of the substrate to be coated is not adjacent to a wall or curb, a
minimum 1/4 inch key cut shall be made to properly seat the system, providing a
smooth transition between areas. The detail cut shall also apply to drain perimeters
and expansion joint edges.
4.
Cracks and joints (non-moving) greater than 1/8 inch wide are to be chiseled or
chipped-out and repaired per manufacturer's recommendations.
5.
At spalled or worn areas, mechanically remove loose or delaminated concrete to a
sound concrete and match per manufacturers' recommendations.
INSTALLATION
A.
Install fluid applied flooring system in strict accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
B.
Install cove base prior to installing floor system. Unless otherwise noted on Drawings,
terminate all cove base tops with a manufacturer approved cove base strip.
C.
Apply primer as recommended for the application. Components shall be pre-mixed, blended,
09670-11
and applied according to manufacturer's directions.
3.4
3.5
3.6
D.
Components for subsequent coats shall be mixed and applied in strict accordance with
manufacturer's directions.
E.
Broadcast aggregate to achieve mixture and color selected. Allow to cure and subsequently
sweep up excess aggregate.
F.
Integral Cove Base:
1.
Provide integral cove base formed from flooring over tile backer board as specified
under 09250 - Gypsum Drywall.
2.
Provide cove trim at top of base as recommended by flooring manufacturer and trowel
material up wall to form smooth, integral transition and base 4-6 inches high unless
otherwise indicated or scheduled
G.
Allow the floor system to cure in compliance with manufacturer's directions, taking care to
prevent contamination during stages of application and prior to completion of the curing
process.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A.
Coating manufacturers representative to verify that installation is in conformance to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
B.
Match finished work to approved samples, uniform in thickness, sheen, color, pattern and
texture, and free from defects detrimental to appearance.
PROTECTION AND CLEANING
A.
Protect installed products until completion of project.
B.
Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
C.
Immediately remove coatings that fall on surrounding areas and surfaces not scheduled to
be coated.
D.
Protect installed products until completion of project.
E.
Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
F.
Remove temporary coverings and protection of surrounding areas and surfaces.
