Re: 17-015: Grant Place Vault
Dear Satwant:
The following letter is to summarize a proposed revision to the most recent repairs for the Grant Place
Detention Vault. The most recently approved structural repair plans called for Sikagard 7600 to be applied to
the interior surface of the perimeter walls. Based on conversation with the product manufacturer (email
attached to this letter) we believe that a more limited application of Sikagard 62 will suffice to waterproof the
vault walls. The following is a summary of the recommended application process.
• The cured grout patches should be prepared by a water blast or light surface grinder.
• One layer of Sikagard 62 should then be applied to the grout patches, lapped at least 6” onto sound
concrete.
• After the first layer of Sikagard 62 is no longer tacky, but before 48 hours has elapsed, a second layer of
Sikagard 62 should then be painted over the entire surface of the first layer.
• The application process of Sikagard 62 should be continuously inspected by a third-party special
inspector.
We have attached a product data sheet, and manufacturers specification for Sikagard 62. Please feel free to
contact us with questions.
Sincerely,
L2 Engineers, LLC

Subject: RE: Fwd: Grant Place Detention Vault - Inspection Requirements
Good morning Brian,
I discussed this unique application with Our Tech Service Dept. They agree that if the concrete patch
areas are prepped correctly and the patch, SikaTop 123, is applied correctly followed by a coating of
Sikagard 7600 you should be fine. Please note:
➢ The SikaTop 123 should be given 5 to 7 days to cure in these current weather conditions before
applying 7600.
➢ The cured SikaTop 123 should be prepped with a water blast or light surface grinder before
applying 7600. Nothing too aggressive, just want to get any polymer bleed off the surface.
➢ Apply 60 mils of 7600 overlapping a minimum of 6 inches onto the concrete.
➢ If you are only going to coat the patches you may want to consider applying two coats of
Sikagard 62 in lieu of our 7600.
I am traveling for the balance of this week but will be available via cell phone. Please let me know if I
can be of further assistance.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Surface must be clean and sound. It may be dry or
damp, but free of standing water. Remove dust,
laitance, grease, curing compounds, impregnations,
waxes and any other contaminants.
Preparation Work: Concrete - Should be cleaned and
prepared to achieve a laitance and contaminant free,
open textured surface by blast cleaning or equivalent
mechanical means.
Steel - Should be cleaned and prepared thoroughly by
blast cleaning.
MIXING
Pre-mix each component. Proportion equal parts by
volume of Components ‘A’ and ‘B’ into a clean mixing
container. Mix with a low-speed (400-600 rpm) drill
using a Sika paddle for 3 minutes, until uniform in color.
APPLICATION
Apply coating using high-quality roller, brush or spray.
Two coats are recommended. Apply second coat as soon
as the first coat is tack-free and the traffic of application
will not damage the first coat. The second coat,
however, must be applied within 48 hours since a longer
delay will require additional surface preparation. Do not
spray with slip resistant granules mixed into the coating.
For use as a seamless flooring system, consult Technical
Service.
LIMITATIONS
Minimum substrate and ambient temperature for
application 50°F (10°C).
▪
Maximum moisture content of concrete substrate by
weight when measured with a Tramex CME or
CMExpert type concrete moisture meter is 4%.
▪
Do not apply over wet, glistening surface.▪
Material is a vapor barrier after cure.▪
Do not apply to porous surfaces exhibiting moisture-
vapor transmission during the application. Consult
Technical Service.
▪
Minimum age of concrete prior to application is 21-28
days, depending on curing and drying conditions.
▪
Do not apply to exterior, on-grade substrates.▪
Use oven-dried aggregate only.▪
Do not thin with solvents.▪
Not an aesthetic product. Color may alter due to
variations in lighting and/or UV exposure.
▪
On ‘green or ‘damp’ concrete, EpoCem can be used as
a pore filler to reduce vapor drive and potential
osmotic blistering.
▪
BASIS OF PRODUCT DATA
Results may differ based upon statistical variations
depending upon mixing methods and equipment,
temperature, application methods, test methods, actual
site conditions and curing conditions.

Part 3 – Execution
3.01 Surface Preparation
A. Substrate must be clean, sound, and free of surface contaminants. Remove dust, laitance, grease, oils, curing
compounds, form release agents and all foreign particles by mechanical means. Substrate shall be in accordance
with ICRI Guideline No. 03732 for coatings.
3.02 Mixing and Application
A. Mixing: Premix each component. Proportion equal parts by volume of Component A and Component B into a clean,
dry mixing pail. Mix throughly for 3 minutes min. with a jiffy paddle on a low-speed (400-600 rpm) drill. Mix only
that quantity of material that can be used within its pot life (35 minutes at 73F). To minimize color difference, blend
two complete Components B's together. Use only one of the blended Component B's to mix with a Component A.
After the first Component B has been used, blend the second Component B with a new Component B and repeat the
above procedeure for the entire application.
B. Placement Procedure: The epoxy resin coating shall be applied only to approved, prepared surfaces with high-
quality brushes, rollers, or spray equipment. Coating shall be applied at ambient and substrate temperatures between
50 and 90F. Application thickness shall be between 4-7 mils per coat. Subsequent coats shall be applied within 48
hours of the previous coat. Care is to be taken on vertical and overhead surfaces to avoid sags or runs. If this
occurs, it must be sanded out and the area re-coated. If coating of horizontal surfaces that will receive traffic is
specified, a slip-resistant aggregate, Sikagard 62 Granules, shall be incorporated into the mixed epoxy resin coating
at 1/2 lb./gallon or as directed by the engineer.
C. When applying the coating, if possible never stop the application until the entire surface has been coated. If possible
always discontinue at an edge, corner, or joint. Never let a previously coated film dry. Always coat into wet film.
Always apply the coating at a 450 angle to an edge, corner, or joint.
D. Adhere to all limitations and cautions for the epoxy resin as stated in the manufacturers printed literature.
3.03 Cleaning
A. The uncured epoxy resin coating can be cleaned from tools with an approved solvent. The cured epoxy resin coating
can only be removed mechanically.
B. Leave finished work and work area in a neat, clean condition without evidence of spillovers onto adjacent areas.
