1.4 PRODUCT SUBMITTALS / SHOP DRAWINGS A. Comply with pertinent provisions of Section 01300. B. Product Data: Within fourteen (14) calendar days after the Contractor has received the

Notice to Proceed from Owner, submit:

1. Materials list of items to be provided under this Section. 2. Manufacturer's specifications and other data needed to prove compliance with the

specified requirements.

2

3. Shop Drawings in sufficient detail to show fabrication, installation, anchorage, and

interface of the work of this Section with the work of adjacent trades. 4. Manufacturer's recommended installation procedures which, when approved by the

Architect, will become the basis for accepting or rejecting actual installation procedures used on the work.

1.5 PRODUCT HANDLING AND STORAGE

A. Transport and store Thoroseal in original containers and keep in a dry condition protected

from rain, dew and humidity. Do not stack bags more than two pallets high. B. Store materials in accordance with manufacturer's printed instructions.

1.6 SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS

A. Appropriate eye protection meeting the most current ANSI Z87 Standards should be worn when mixing or applying and during surface preparation. Refer to THORO's Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information.

1.7 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Use adequate numbers of skilled workmen who are thoroughly trained and experienced in the necessary crafts and who are completely familiar with the specified requirements and the methods needed for proper performance of the work of this Section.

2.0 PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 ACCEPTABLE MANUFACTURER

A. Harris Specialty Chemicals, Inc. 1-800-445-6182.

2.2 MATERIALS

A. Material shall be "Thoroseal Foundation Coating" or equal, as approved by Landscape Architect.

3.0 PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 SURFACE CONDITIONS

A. Examine the conditions under which work of this section will be performed. Correct conditions detrimental to timely and proper completion of the work.

3

B. Verify that surfaces and openings are ready to receive work and field measurements are as instructed.

C. Beginning of installation means acceptance of existing conditions. D. Before installation, prime paint surfaces of items or assemblies to be in contact with

cementitious materials.

3.2 LIMITATIONS

A. Do not apply to surfaces that are not clean and completely free from any contaminants. Previously painted surfaces must be prepared such that virtually all existing paint films are removed.

B. If the substrate or ground water contains sulfates or nitrates, special application

techniques and protective topcoats may be necessary. Avoid application to substrates that have active water leakage.

C. Protect areas and surfaces such as metal, glass and wood, which must not be coated with

suitable protective materials such as tape or paper. D. All surfaces to be coated must be clean. E. All mortar joints should be in sound condition and tooled. All static cracks or breaks,

voids or honeycombing larger than 0.8mm should be cut out and repaired with WATERPLUG or a THORITE/ACRYL 60 mixture.

F. Form ties and other metal fragments must be removed and the substrate patched with

THORITE/ACRYL 60 mixture. G. Weep holes are recommended to drain walls before coating commences. Refer to

Waterplug, Thorite and Thorite 200 Tech Bulletins 14, 20 and 20.1 respectively.

3.2 APPLICATION A. Spray application is recommended for large projects generally using a plasterer's type

spray gun, a diaphragm type or a rotor stator type pump. Spray application is the most cost effective application method to use and significantly reduces the in-place cost.

B. The substrate MUST be completely dampened before application starts. A damp surface

will prevent surface drag on the material; keep the substrate cool and eliminate flash setting.

C. It is essential that the first coat be well brushed into the substrate even if the application is

by spray gun. Lay the material on the substrate, filling all pores and voids. Finish the coat with smooth horizontal strokes, Allow for cure for 24 hours or overnight before

4

applying a second coat. On block or masonry walls, allow 5 to 7 days before applying second coat to eliminate joint read through. Always broom the second coat with vertical strokes to insure easy clean ability.

D. After this second coat has hardened, any weep holes should be plugged using WATER

PLUG and then over coated with Thoroseal. (Recommendations on the types of spray gun to be used to place THOROSEAL are available from Harris Specialty Chemicals, Inc.

4.0 PART 4 METHOD OF PAYMENT

A. Payment for all work specified under this section shall be paid at the respective contract lump sum price or unit price as indicated and shall include all costs for installation, labor, materials, equipment, taxes, transportation costs and incidentals to accomplish the work as indicated in these Contract Documents and no additional compensation will be allowed.
