Section B : Application Method

10 Surface Preparation.

Attention to full and proper preparation is essential to successful grouting.

1.1 The substrate surface must be free from oil, grease or any loosely adherent material.

1.2 If the concrete surface is defective or has laitence, it must be cut back to a sound base.

1.3 Bolt holes or fixing pockets must be blown clean of any dirt or debris.

1.4 All steel surfaces should be shot blasted free of rust and flaky mill scale to SA2½ or equal.
Cleaned surfaces must be protected by the application of Nitoprime 25.

2.0 Bearing plate/base plate

2.1 The underside of the base plate should be clean and free from oil, grease, rust, scale or other
loosely adherent material. It is recommended that the underside and edges are coated with
Nitoprime 25 to prevent rust formation and ensure bonding with the Conbextra EP10 grout.

2.2 It may be necessary to provide air pressure relief holes to allow venting of any isolated high
spots.

3.0 Formwork - General

3.1 Before fixing any formwork, ensure that the area to be grouted is clean.

3.2 The formwork itself must be constructed to be leak proof, to prevent any possible grout loss.
This can be achieved by using foam rubber strip or mastic sealant beneath the formwork, and at
any joints in the formwork.
Method statement constructive solutions

3.3 The formwork should also be constructed in such a way as to keep the final, unrestrained
surface area of the grout to a minimum, to avoid problems with cracking at a later stage.

3.4 For free flow grout conditions, it is essential to provide a hydrostatic head of grout. A feeding
hopper system is recommended for such situations.

3.5 It should be fixed in such a way as to allow easy stripping, without causing damage or distress
to the grout.

3.6 All dirt and debris to be removed from the grout area before the last piece of formwork is fixed.

4.0 Formwork - Geometry

4.1 Pouring side

- set up so that grout will be poured the shortest distance across the base plate

- erected a maximum of 75 mm from the base plate edge

4.2 Open side

- set up directly opposite the pouring side

- erected a maximum of 25 mm from the plate edge

4.3 Flanking sides

- set up flush with the plate edge

- close attention to „grout tightness‟ of the formwork

Method statement constructive solutions

5.0 Mixing

5.1 The entire contents of the hardener can should be poured into the base container and mixed
until homogeneous.

5.2 Place the mixed base and hardener into a suitable forced action mixer. Ensure that the entire
volume is poured in.

5.3 Mix for 2-3 minutes or until uniform colour is achieved.

5.4 Under no circumstances should part packs be used, as this will change the base:hardener
ratio, adversely affecting material performance and automatically invalidating Fosroc‟s
standard product guarantee.

6.0 Placing

It is essential that the machine mixing capacity, material supply and labour availability is adequate to
enable the grouting operation to be carried out continuously.

6.1 Immediately prior to placement, ensure that all sufaces are dry.

6.2 Any bolt pockets must be grouted prior to grouting between the substrate and the base plate.

6.3 Continuous grout flow during the grouting operation is essential. Sufficient grout must be
available prior to starting, and time taken to pour a batch must be regulated to the time taken to
prepare the next one.

6.4 The mixed grout should be poured only from one side of the void to eliminate the entrapment of
air. The grout head must be maintained at all times so that a continuous grout front is achieved.

6.5 When the grout reaches the open side of the formwork, and rises above the underside of the
base plate, pouring should continue slowly down the length of the base plate until completed.

6.6 Conbextra EP10 has a pot life of 40 min @ 35°C and 90 min @ 20°C. After mixing, Conbextra
EP10 should be used within the pot life period or else the material will harden and therefore will
have to be discarded.
Method statement constructive solutions

7.0 Finishing

7.1 Wherever possible unrestrained “shoulders” are to be avoided. These have a tendency to crack
and/or debond, due to their unrestrained nature.

8.0 Protection

8.1 On completion of the grouting operation, all areas of grout should be protected from solar heat
gain by providing shade over the whole area.

Section C : Approval and variations

This method statement is offered by Fosroc as a „standard proposal‟ for the application of Conbextra
EP10. It remains the responsibility of the Engineer to determine the correct method for any given
application.

Where alternative methods are to be used, these must be submitted to Fosroc for approval, in writing,
prior to commencement of any work. Fosroc will not accept responsibility or liability for variations to the
above method statement under any other condition.

Section B : Application Method

1.0 Surface Preparation.

Attention to full and proper preparation is essential to successful grouting.

1.1 Chipping Procedure

 All areas of cracked concrete shall be identified and clearly marked out prior to
commencement of the work.

 The necessary chipping by suitable mechanical means shall be made to properly

widen the cracks to form grooves of 4mm wide opening and 3mm deep.

 Clean the surface and remove all traces of dust, oil, paint, curing compounds,
grease, corrosion deposits, algae or any unsound material.

 All dust shall be removed from cracked areas by blowing with oil free compressed
air.

1.2 Bath Procedure

 Another optional procedure for preparing the cracks without chipping is surrounding
each crack by flexible sealant with a width of 10mm maximum; this will create a
Bath for the poured mixed materials. The use of Silicon sealant, such as
NITOSEAL 125, could be adopted for this process.

 NITOSEAL 125 is one part sealant supplied in cartridges, which allows the ease &
fast of sealant application.

 Before applying the sealant, make sure that areas which are to receive the
materials are well prepared and dry.

 Apply the sealant along the longitude of the cracks and allow the sealant to become
dry before proceeding.

2.0 Mixing

2.1 The entire contents of the hardener can should be poured into the base container
and mixed until homogeneous.

2.2 Place the mixed base and hardener into a suitable forced action mixer. Ensure
that the entire volume is poured in.

2.3 Mix for 2-3 minutes or until uniform colour is achieved.

2.4 Under no circumstances should part packs be used, as this will change the
base:hardener ratio, adversely affecting material performance and
automatically invalidating Fosroc’s standard product guarantee.

3.0 Application of Low-viscosity Epoxy Resin

3.1 Each crack shall be treated in a single continuous operation and sufficient
material shall therefore be made prior to the commencement of the work.

3.2 Pour the mixed materials of Conbextra EP10 into the prepared Silicon Bath,
where cracks are to be fully submerged.

3.3 The pouring application shall be continues until the cracks are fully saturated, i.e.
no more penetration through cracks is observed.

3.4 Conbextra EP10 has a pot life of 40 min @ 35°C and 90 min @ 20°C. After
mixing, Conbextra EP10 should be used within the pot life period or else the
material will harden and therefore will have to be discarded.

4.0 Finishing

4.1 Wherever possible, all treated cracks shall be protected against direct sunlight "solar
heat" by providing shaded areas until further backfilling is adopted.

Conbextra EP10 (Crack Filling Injection Procedure)

Section A : General Comments

This method statement should be read in conjunction with the “Application criteria”
section of the Conbextra EP10 data sheet(s). Please refer to the local Fosroc office for
advice on selection of the most appropriate product for your application.

High temperature working

It is suggested that, for temperatures above 350C, the following guidelines are adopted as good
working practice:

(i) Store unmixed materials in a cool (preferably temperature controlled) environment,

avoiding exposure to direct sunlight.
(ii) Keep equipment cool, arranging shade protection if necessary. It is especially important
to keep cool those surfaces of the equipment which will come into direct contact with the
material itself.
(iii) Try to avoid application during the hottest times of the day.
(iv) Make sufficient material, plant and labour available to ensure that application is a
continuous process.

Equipment

It is suggested that the following list of equipment is adopted as a minimum requirement

Protective clothing : Protective overalls

: Good quality gloves, goggles and face mask

Preparation equipment : Wire brush

: Proprietary blasting equipment
: Proprietary Degreaser

Mixing equipment : Forced Action Mixer

: Fosroc mixing paddle

Application equipment : Standard Injection equipment with closed container

Application - points of note

Fosroc operates a policy to encourage the use, where possible, of approved or licensed
applicators. This ensures that works are completed satisfactorily so that the long term
performance of the materials is assured. For contractors who wish to apply the materials
themselves Fosroc is also able to offer technical assistance and training, either on-site or at its
Training Centre in Jeddah.

Section B : Application Method

1.0 Surface Preparation.

Attention to full and proper preparation is essential to successful injection.

1.1 Clean the surface and remove all traces of dust, oil, paint, curing compounds,
grease, corrosion deposits, algae or any unsound material.

1.2 The surface should be preferably prepared by using high pressure water jetting or
light abrasive blasting, to the satisfaction of the Supervising Engineer. Followed by
thorough washing to remove dust and remaining particles.

1.3 Oil and grease deposits are best removed by steam cleaning, detergent scrubbing
or the use of a proprietary degreaser. The effectiveness of decontamination should
then be assessed by a pull-off test.

2.0 Mixing

2.1 The entire contents of the hardener can should be poured into the base container
and mixed until homogeneous.

2.2 Place the mixed base and hardener into a suitable forced action mixer. Ensure
that the entire volume is poured in.

2.3 Mix for 2-3 minutes or until uniform colour is achieved.

Page 2 of 4
 constructive solutions

2.4 Under no circumstances should part packs be used, as this will change the
base:hardener ratio, adversely affecting material performance and automatically
invalidating Fosroc’s standard product guarantee.

2.5 Conbextra EP10 should be used with standard injection equipment having closed
containers at an injection pressure of 0.4N/mm² (4bar).

3.0 Application of Low-viscosity Epoxy Resin

Do not use in conditions of wet cracks or running water.

3.1 Conbextra EP10 should be injected using a standard injection equipment having
closed containers.

3.2 Injection packers should be inserted into the pre-drilled holes at intervals along the
length of the crack. The distance between each packer shall depend on the length
and width of the crack. Spacing normally would be between 200 mm - 500 mm.

3.3 If practical, seal the surface of the cracks between the packers with a band of
Nitomortar TC2000, 30 to 40 mm wide and 2 to 3 mm thick. Both sides of the
cracks which lead through a wall or slab shall be sealed this way. If the water flow
is sever the Nitomortar TC2000 application can be omitted.

3.4 In case of a wall or slab which is cracked all the way through, packers shall be
located on both sides with those at the back placed at midway points between
those at the front.

3.5 Each crack shall be treated in a single continuous operation and sufficient material
shall therefore be made prior to the commencement of the work. One end of the
injection hose shall be attached to the lowest packer on vertical cracks or to either
end of horizontal cracks.

3.6 Pressure shall be slowly applied by gently squeezing the gun trigger, until resin
stops flowing or starts to flow out of the joint or next packer.

3.7 Pressure shall be removed from the gun and injection shall continue on to the next
location/packer.

Page 3 of 4
 constructive solutions

3.9 Continue as above at all injection points and then allow to cure for at least 6
hours.

3.9 Injection packers shall be removed and concrete surface shall be cleaned using a
wire brush and thorough washing.

3.10 Conbextra EP10 has a pot life of 40 min @ 35°C and 90 min @ 20°C. After
mixing, Conbextra EP10 should be used within the pot life period or else the
material will harden and therefore will have to be discarded.

4.0 Cleaning

4.1 Conbextra EP10 and Nitomortar TC2000 should be removed from tools with Fosroc
Solvent 102, immediately after use.

Section C : Approval and variations

This method statement is offered by Fosroc as a ‘standard proposal’ for the injection application
of Conbextra EP10. It remains the responsibility of the Engineer to determine the correct
method for any given application.

Where alternative methods are to be used, these must be submitted to Fosroc for approval, in
writing, prior to commencement of any work. Fosroc will not accept responsibility or liability for
variations to the above method statement under any other condition.

THE PROJECT

The King Abdulaziz National Dialogue Centre building Project was constructed at a cost
of USD 110 M. The project consists of three towers consisting of eight floors each and
three underground floors allocated for parking and utility services. Marble was
specified as for the main building entrance cladding. The marble cladding was installed
using adhesives only and not anchored using mechanical anchors. The adhesive
developed a very thin gap between the adhesive and the concrete wall. Fosroc was
invited to provide a technical and constructive solution.
The gap is extended along the
retaining wall
THE SOLUTION
The main challenge was to provide a very flowable material which can fill gaps up to 6m
depth and to structurally bind the marble to the concrete wall. Fosroc proposed
Conbextra EP10.

Being a vertical application depth issue has been resolved with the advantage of
gravity. 1000 Litres of Conbextra EP10 is then poured in stages from the top of the gap
to fill it gradually; that is in order to control the heat generated from the exothermic
reaction between material’s components and to provide excellent material
performance. Conbextra EP10 mixing
process

THE BENEFITS
The client benefitted from getting the marble adhered to the concrete wall in addition
to saving time and money by avoiding the complete removal of the cladding and having
to redo the complete application again. The remedial action was carried out to the
complete satisfaction of the consultant and the contractor.

THE PROJECT
Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) established Water Transmission Pipelines
system between Jubail and Riyadh cities 40 years ago. This system is one of the major
water transmission systems in Saudi Arabia and it supplies potable water from Al Jubail
Desalination Plant to Riyadh High Point Terminal and surrounding areas. It consists of
three parallel pipelines (A,B, and C ) each is 389 km long, 12 pump stations and an
underground reservoir system.
SWCC has been recently observing major defects in the concrete structures of the pump
stations which is adversely affecting the water transmission to Riyadh city (Capital of
Saudi Arabia).
Hamoud Al Samah (A specialised rehabilitation contractor) was awarded USD 6 million Injection of Conbextra EP10
contract to provide repair and maintenance services to the pump stations’ concrete
structures.

THE SOLUTION
The major part of the contract was to repair the defects of pumps foundations within a
very limited shutdown time, and to restore the turbines concrete foundations in full
functional levels, extended shutdown or breakdown will cause a sever water supplies
shortages in some areas in the capital Riyadh.

Working with SWCC Engineering Department, Fosroc specified a sequence of repairing Nitowrap FRC 300HS
steps which mainly consisted of crack injections using Conbextra EP10, application of application
double layer Carbon Fiber (Nitowrap FRC 300HS), and application of Nitocote EPU.
THE BENEFITS

Fosam provided the required materials to the client on time and ensure the shutdown
time was met, this met the client’s expectations on project planning. In addition to that
Fosam provided continuous technical support and regular follow up that fastened the
process and the client was able to meet deadlines, achieve rehabilitation objectives and
restored full functionality of the foundation.
Application of Nitowrap FRC
The client highly appreciated the professional services provided and the high quality of Encapsulation
materials that were supplied.
