11. PROCEDURE
11.1. General
1. The works shall be performed as mentioned in this procedure and the quality assurance requirements shall be
consistent with the relevant sections of Quality System Procedure Manual of “CONTRACTOR” as well with the
Project Quality Plan.
2. Manufacturer’s recommendation to be complied with at the site.
3. Work shall not proceed without formal approval by the Engineer.
4. Before commencement of the work, ascertain the nature and location of all existing services on site by visual
survey.
5. If any protection, rerouting, termination or removals of services are required for the smooth progressing of work, it
will be discussed and written approval will be obtained from Employer as appropriate.

11.2. Material
1. EMACO S88CT: Cementations pre-bagged ready to use structure repair mortar in powder form reinforced with
acrylic polymer fibre. When mixed with the correct amount of water, it produces a thixotropic, high strength repair
mortar, reinforced with acrylic polymer fibres. It possess excellent bond characteristics to steel reinforcement and to
concrete

11.3. Substrate Preparation

1. Mark out the area requiring the area requiring the chipping.
2. The perimeter of the area should be saw cut with a grinder to a depth of 10mm and the edges cut as neatly as
possible keeping the sides square. Feather-edging is not permitted and a minimum thickness of 10mm must be
maintained over the whole repair area.
3. Depth of chipping of bulged concrete shall be decided considering the alignment, structure element’s size as per
design and approval of the Engineer.

4. Chipping shall be performed using electrically operated concrete breaker of Hilti, Bosch etc. with pointed chisel of
the appropriate capacity. Heavy duty machinery or jackhammers should not be used to avoid damage to the
structure element by excessive hammering. For removing a very thin surface a electrically operated scrabbling
hammers may be used.
5. Chipping shall continue to achieve the required decided depth.
6. The substrate shall be prepared to a rough surface.
7. The prepared surface must be sound, dense, and free of all oil, grease loose and fractured aggregate or other
contaminants that could impair adhesion.
8. Thoroughly saturate the surface of the concrete to provide a saturated surface dry condition. Any surface water
should be removed using oil free compressed air jet.

11.4. Mixing
1. Hand mixing with trowel or similar of EMACO S88CT is not permitted.
2. For mixing use a heavy duty slow speed drill with spiral mixing paddle attachment.
3. Water addition shall be between 3.5 litres of potable water per 25kg bag.
4. Pour the required amount of mixing water into the mixing drum. Start the mixer and add the EMACO S88CT
powder rapidly and continuously. Mix for 3 to 4 minutes after all the powder has been added until mortar is
homogeneous and lump free.
5. Add water, if necessary, within the limits given, until required consistency is achieved. Mix for a further 1-2
minutes.
6. Maximum mixed temperature shall not be more than 35˚C.

11.5. Application
1. After mixing EMACO S88CT is trowel applied in thickness not exceeding 50mm, forced tightly into substrate to
ensure intimate contact with the pre wetted substrate.
2. Each under lying layer shall be heavily cross hatched with a trowel and allowed to achieve its initial set prior to a
subsequent layer being applied in the same manner.
3. The levelling and initial finishing of the placed mortar surface shall be done using a wooden/plastic float. Final
finishing shall be carried out using steel trowel.
4. When the material has stiffened to the point where finger pressure lightly marks the surface, a firm troweling shall
be given using the steel float.

11.6. Curing
1. Good curing is essential. Curing can be done using properly secured wet hessian and plastic sheet.

2.
12. HEALTH & SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
12.1. General
1. The entire works will be carried out as per the guidelines established in the Project Specific HSE Plan.
2. Utmost importance shall be given to safety of personnel and protection of existing above /underground services. It
will be ensured that the personnel involved are thoroughly aware of the “Contractor”/ Employer Safety regulations.
To achieve the above the following shall also be ensured:
3. Tool Box Meetings will be conducted before starting the works.
4. All personnel will be provided with suitable Personal Protective Equipment.
5. Prior to commencement of activities ensure that all personal are safety inducted and aware of the nature of work
and the risk assessment.
