PART 3    EXECUTION
3.1	EXAMINATION
A.	Site verification of conditions:
1.	Verify that site conditions are acceptable for placement of waterproofed concrete.
2.	Utilize Concrete Admixture Manufacturer's pre-placement inspection services.
3.	Do not proceed with concrete placement until conditions unacceptable to the Concrete Admixture Manufacturer are corrected.
B.	Suitable Condition of Reinforcing Steel:
1.	At the time concrete is placed, reinforcement shall be free from mud, oil, or other nonmetallic coatings that decrease bond. Epoxy-coating of steel reinforcement in accordance with standards shall be permitted.
2.	Except for prestressing steel, steel reinforcement with rust, mill scale, or a combination of both shall be considered satisfactory, provided the minimum dimensions (including height of deformations) and weight of a hand-wire-brushed test specimen comply with ASTM A615, ASTM A706, ASTM A996.
C.	If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
3.2	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.
3.3	INSTALLATION FOR WATERPROOFING AND CORROSION PROTECTION ADMIXTURES
A.	Comply with the Concrete Admixture Manufacturer's instructions and recommendations.
B.	Waterstops and groutable hose waterstop system components: Shall be located as on drawings and in accordance with Concrete Admixture Manufacturer's recommendations.
C.	Bentonite Waterstops: Shall be placed at all cold joints and penetrations.
1.	Preparation:
a.	Brush off all dust and debris and apply a coat of primer or spray adhesive to the area where the waterstop is to be placed on the standing structural member.
b.	Using moderate hand pressure press a continuous bead of waterstop firmly into position on the standing structure. Check to be certain that the waterstop has bonded to the primed area.
c.	For proper joining, cut ends with sharp tool at 45 degree angle, and then place ends over one another
d.	Peel the protective backing from the exposed side of the waterstop. Knead the overlapped ends together to form continuous, uninterrupted gasket.
e.	For shotcrete applications, in addition to the instructions above, utilize masonry nails to hold the waterstop in place on the concrete. Masonry nails should be spaced approximately 12 inches (305 mm) apart. Waterstop must be glued and tied with the use of tie wires to all penetrations.
2.	Bentonite waterstops must not be installed more than 2 days prior to concrete placement. After installation of waterstops, cover the waterstop with a plastic sheet to protect from weather damage.
3.	Bentonite waterstops shall be dry and not activated when concrete is placed. Waterstops that have been water damaged shall be replaced before the concrete is placed.
D.	Additional Reinforcement at Re-entrant Angles
1.	Where re-entrant angles occur, three No. 4 or No. 5 bars spaced at 3 inches OC at least 3 feet long must be placed top and bottom at 90 degrees across all the angles.
E.	Concrete: Place, consolidate, and cure concrete in accordance with ACI 301, ACI 306, ACI 308, and ACI 309.
F.	Closure: Contractor shall allow Hydrophobic Pore Blocking Concrete Admixture Manufacturer access to concrete after concrete placement to allow for closure. Hydrophobic Pore Blocking Concrete Admixture Manufacturer shall advise Contractor when each area of waterproof concrete is available for finishes.
3.4	INSTALLATION FOR WATERPROOFING CEMENTITIOUS PRODUCTS
A.	Hydrophobic admixture for mortar is a liquid admixture that is added to mortar mix at dosage of up to 3 gallons per cubic yard of mortar. Refer to manufacturer instructions or contact manufacturer for specific dosage questions.
B.	Trial batches are strongly recommended to assess the local plastic and hardened properties and to determine appropriate mix designs.
C.	It may be appropriate to remove a similar amount of water from the mortar mix as the amount of hydrophobic admixture added.
D.	Allow hydrophobic admixture to thoroughly mix in mortar mix.
E.	Install Mortar as Normal:
1.	For increased water resistance performance, apply mortar to a greater thickness in accordance with project guidelines. See ASTM C926 for more details on application.
2.	Discard any materials that show signs of stiffening or setting - do not wet up by adding water.
3.	Moist cure mortar in accordance with ACI 308; if moist curing is not possible, use curing compound complying with ASTM C309.
3.5	FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A.	Field Inspection: Coordinate field inspection in accordance with appropriate sections in Division 01.
B.	Manufacturer's Services: Coordinate manufacturer's services in accordance with appropriate sections in Division 01.
1.	Manufacturer's Field Services: A representative of the Hydrophobic Pore Blocking Concrete Admixture Manufacturer will be present to observe, inspect, and approve the placement of concrete containing Hydrophobic Pore Blocking Concrete Admixture Manufacturer's products.
2.	The Contractor shall notify the Hydrophobic Pore Blocking Concrete Admixture Manufacturer field representative at least 3 days prior to placement.
3.6	CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A.	Clean products in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. 
B.	Protect installed work from damage due to subsequent construction activity on the site.
C.	Waterproofing admixtures and corrosion protection waterproofing admixtures:
1.	Apply evaporation reducer (ACI 308) on flatwork immediately after finishing, as needed to maintain a film of water on the surface of the finished concrete until the final curing is applied, anytime the evaporation rate exceeds 0.10 lbs per sq ft per hr (0.49 kg per sq m per hr).
2.	Apply curing compound immediately to finished or stripped surfaces. A wax- or resin-based curing compound should be used if there is no subsequent finish on the structure. If there is a subsequent finish, a water-based curing compound should be used.
D.	Waterproofing Cementitious Products:
1.	Mortar must be cured a minimum of 28 days before applying paint or other coatings. Surface preparation and application should follow guidelines supplied by the paint/coating's manufacturer.
