6 MATERIAL
1. CICO GROUT V1
2. CICO BOND EPO

7. BRIEF METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION

A) METHODOLOGY # 1

Methodology for the Repair & water tightness of the Dowell Bar/Tie Rod without Sleeves :

1. Cleaning the surface by mechanical or manual means as required on site to remove all loose
laitance, dust, and graffiti if it is there on the site.

2. Cutting out the geometrical profile with cutter/chaser/core up to the required depth i.e. min of
30mm from both the faces of concrete of 50 to 60mm dia, to reach to the sound concrete, and
chiseling / chipping of the concrete in between the profile as per requirement.
Add
3. Tie Rod cutting will be done by diamond cutters. In
R2
4. Wetting out the surface to remove the loose dust sticking to the chased and chiseled area.

5. Application of CICO BOND EPO all around the circumference of the bar of whatever dia
chiseled concrete surface.

6. Applying high strength repair mortar CICO GROUT V1 in the chiseled/core area.. The
repair mortar shall have compressive strength:

400 kg/cm2 in 24 hours

560 kg/cm2 in 3 days
670 kg/cm2 in 7 days
800 kg/cm2 in 28 days

7. Curing the repaired surface by water by sprinkling method minimum for three days to get proper
strength of high strength repair mortar.

8. Application of CICO BOND EPO on outer faces of finished repair surface.

B) METHODOLOGY # 2

Methodology for the Repair & water tightness of the Tie Rod Hole with Sleeves:

1. Cleaning the surface by mechanical or manual means as required on site to remove all loose
laitance, dust, and graffiti if it is there on the site.

3. Wetting out the surface to remove the loose dust sticking to the chased and chiseled area.

4. Applying high strength repair mortar CICO GROUT V1 in the outer chiseled/core area of wall.

5. Entire length of PVC sleeves will be filled with CICO GROUT VI with hand operated grouting
pump.

6. Curing the repaired surface by approved curing compound or by water by sprinkling method
minimum for 03 (three) days which one is possible according to the site condition, to get proper
strength of high strength repair mortar.

1. Application of CICO BOND EPO on outer faces of finished repair surface.
