(1) Self-smoothening floor coating: 2-3 mm layer thickness

(2) Primer: Self-smoothening floor primer.
(3) Color and texture: As selected by the Engineer.
1801.2.3 Source Quality Control
1) Obtain primary chemical-resistant seamless epoxy-based coating materials
including primers, resins, hardening agents, finish or sealing coats
respectively from a single manufacturer with not less than ten (10) years of
successful experience in supplying similar materials for work of type
described in this section. Provide secondary materials only of type and from
source recommended by manufacturer of primary materials.
1801.3 Execution
1801.3.1 Examination
1) Examine the areas and conditions where the floor coating system is to be
installed and notify the Engineer of conditions detrimental to the proper and
timely completion of the work where the detrimental conditions are
attributable to the Interface Contractors. Do not proceed with the work until
unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in a manner acceptable to the
Engineer.
2) The Contractor shall proceed with epoxy-based floor coating, floor hardener
and resinous finish work only after substrate construction, including curbs,
spill dams and equipment pads, and penetrating work through substrate has
been completed. No phased construction shall be permitted by the Engineer.
1801.3.2 Preparation
1) Patching and Joint Preparation
Prior to architectural concrete floor finish coating application, the floor shall
be examined for spalls, pits, holes, cracks, non-functional joints, and other
defects. These defects must be treated after substrate preparation and before
coating application with the suitable manufacturer- and applicator-
recommended products. For functional or expansion joints, these shall be
treated with 100% solids elastomeric resin having a minimum elongation of
150%.
2) Concrete Surfaces
Shot-blast, diamond-grind or power-scarify as required to obtain clean, open
porous concrete surface. Remove foreign materials to provide a sound surface,
free of laitance, glaze, efflorescence, and any bond-inhibiting curing
compounds or formwork-releasing agents. Remove grease, oil, and other
penetrating contaminants as well. Repair damaged and deteriorated concrete
to acceptable condition; leave surface free of dust, dirt, laitance, and
efflorescence.
1801.3.3 Application
1) Prime Coat: Apply primer over prepared substrate at manufacturer’s
recommended spreading rate. Coordinate timing of primer application with

549
 PART 2 WORKS REQUIREMENTS

Technical Specifications (TS)

application of topping mix to insure optimum adhesion between chemical-

resistant epoxy-based coating materials and substrate.
2) Finish or Sealing Coat: After topping mix has cured sufficiently, apply finish
or sealing coat of type required by the manufacturer to produce required finish
indicated and in number of coats and spreading rate recommended by
manufacturer.
3) Epoxy-based Coating
a) Application
(i) Comply with epoxy-based coating manufacturer’s written
instructions for installation of epoxy coating system, including
surface preparation, joint treatment, flashing, reinforcement,
accessory items and surfacing.
(ii) Apply materials by methods as instructed by epoxy
manufacturer to provide uniform thickness.
b) Adjusting, Cleaning and Protection
(i) Upon completion of the work, repair surfaces that have been
permanently stained, marred, or otherwise damaged. Replace
work that is damaged or cannot be adequately cleaned as
directed.
(ii) Upon completion of the work, remove unused materials, debris,
containers and equipment from the job site. In addition to the
initial cleaning procedure required, clean the work before
acceptance by the Engineer.
(iii) Protect the work during the installation period so that it will be
without any indication of use or damage at the time of
acceptance. Until the epoxy-based coating is fully cured and
protected with a temporary covering during the construction
period, keep the coating areas free from traffic and other trades.
Provide necessary temporary protection to prevent damage,
such as that caused by traffic, gouging, scraping, and spillage
of deleterious substances, excessive heat, or other manner.
1801.3.4 Site Quality Control
1) The Engineer reserves the right to invoke the material testing procedure at any
time, and any number of times during period of architectural concrete floor
coating application.
2) The Contractor shall engage service of an independent testing laboratory to
sample materials being used. Samples of materials shall be taken, identified
and sealed, and certified in the presence of the Engineer.
