6 Operating Methodologies and Work Phases

6.1 Removing the existing Polyurea System

Remove the existing damaged hot applied polyuria system and grinding the surface, the
metal surface must be clean, dry and surface treatment that could impair adhesion.
The metal surfaces must be prepared accordingly and to be treated with suitable primer
as recommended by the polyurea membrane manufacturer.

 6.2 Preparation & Application of Primer – Sika Metal Primer
It shall be ensured prior to application that the surface is dry, clean and smooth.
Sika Metal Primer is a two component epoxy primer for metallic surfaces and shall be
used as prime coat prior to application of the polyurea membrane.
To prepare the product, mix each of the two components for a few minutes and then
pour component B into the container of component A.
Mix the two components together with a slow speed electric mixer for at least 3 to 4
minutes until a homogenous mixture had been achieved.
Apply an even coat of the primer with brush, with a roller or with a suitable airless spray
gun.
The mix must be applied at a temperature of between +10°C and +30°C.
All preparatory works such as installation of vents and pipe fixtures (if any) must be
executed prior to primer installation. (MEP Works)

6.3 Application of 2mm Polyurea Membrane – Sikalastic 709

The application of polyurea membrane will be carried out after the area has been
primed and the primer has dried.
The polyurea membrane must be applied within 6 – 24 hours from the application of the
primer. It shall be ensured prior to application of Polyurea install geotextile on those
joints which shall cause cracks afterward.
Before applying Sikalastic 709 remove all dust from the
surface. To apply the polyurea membrane, use brush or roller.
The membrane must be applied continuously on all horizontal and vertical surfaces. If
the application of the membrane is interrupted, and then taken up again after the
maximum covering time of 2 hours. An overlap of at least 5cm must be made with the
previously hot applied polyurea membrane.
Consumption of Sikalastic 709 depends on the roughness of the substrate. The
theoretical consumption for a smooth surface is average of 2 kg/m² for a 2mm thickness.
Sikalastic 709 may gradually turns to yellow if exposed to UV rays and artificial
atmospheric agents but without affecting the membrane original physical properties. If
change in roof finish color is un-acceptable, a top coat is recommended at an extra cost.

6.4 Termination
Remove the existing GRP using grinder or suitable tools so that metal primer can be in
direct contact with the metal.
Termination of polyurea on GRP can be done by covering the existing GRP joint with
geotextile than apply primer and polyurea membrane with an overlap of 15cm.

6.5 Application of Sika UV Coating 701

Once the polyuria is dry and smooth apply Sika UV coating over the Polyurea as Top
Coat.
Apply 02 Coats of acrylic coating using brush or roller. The coat should have an
average thickness of 0.5mm.

 6.6 Materials Delivery, Storage, and Handling
Storage areas shall comply with the manufacturer’s requirements with regards to
shade, ventilation and temperature limits and shall be located away from sources of
excessive heat, sparks or open flame.
Materials shall be delivered in their original tightly sealed containers or unopened
packages, all clearly labelled with the manufacturer's name, brand name and batch
number of the materials where appropriate.
Packaged materials shall be stored in their original containers.
Containers of liquid materials shall not be left open at any time in the storage area.
All materials shall be stored and piled as per product stacking requirement, and in a
neat and safe manner.

6.7 HSE Requirements


Specific safety measures have to be followed as applicable, and all the safety measures
are covered separately in the Project’s Health & Safety Plan.


Risks and Controls - Site safety control shall be conducted in accordance with the
guidelines stipulated in the Project’s Health & Safety Plan


Emergency Arrangements – Contact numbers of personnel concerned to be posted on
the job site.
6.8 QA/QC Requirements

 Quality control shall be conducted in accordance with the guidelines stipulated in the
Project’s Inspection Test Plan (ITP)
