PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS

875.06 STRIP MEMBRANES

1. All waterproof strip membranes shall be “Bituthene”


products or similar approved. An alternative strip membrane with
properties similar to that of Bituthene 3000 or 5000 may be used subject
to the approval of the Superintendent.

2. Waterproof strip membranes shall be applied at the following


locations and/or as shown on the Drawings:

a) To the longitudinal strip between the bridge deck and the


mortar bedding to the precast kerbing.
b) To the back face of all contraction and construction joints in
abutments and retaining walls.

c) Locations where precast elements abut or join.

3. Bituthene 3000 shall only be applied to a surface that does


not require subsequent asphalt surfacing.

4. Bituthene 5000 shall be applied to the top surface of the


bridge deck, as shown on the Drawings.

875.07 PRIMER

1. A water or solvent based primer shall be used to bond the


strip membrane to the concrete substrate. The primer shall be
compatible for use with the membrane system and applied in
accordance with the manufacturer’s published requirements.

875.08 – 875.25 NOT USED

PREPARATION

875.26 CLEANING

1. The Contractor shall ensure that the minimum concrete


curing period has been achieved prior to the removal of the curing
method, in accordance with Specification 820 CONCRETE FOR
STRUCTURES.

2. The Contractor shall remove all dust, loose or adherent


matter from the surface of the deck.

3. The Contractor shall remove all of the curing agent film or Curing
matter from the surface of the deck by an appropriate method. Agent

875.27 – 875.30 NOT USED

APPLICATION

875.31 STRIP MEMBRANE

1. The Contractor shall allow the concrete to air dry after


removal of the curing material or method, prior to the application of the
strip membrane system, for a minimum period as per the following:
a) Where a solvent based primer is to be used as part of the
strip membrane system the minimum air-drying period shall
be 7 days.

b) Where a water based primer is to be used as part of the strip


membrane system the minimum air-drying period shall be 14
days.

c) Where “alternative” products require longer air-drying time


than specified above then the minimum air-drying time shall
be in accordance with the manufacturer’s published
requirements.

2. Prior to the application of the strip membrane the HOLD


Contractor shall demonstrate to the Superintendent that all curing POINT
agent film or matter has been removed and the concrete deck has
dried sufficiently to meet the requirements of the strip membrane
application procedures of the manufacturer.

3. The strip membrane shall be applied in accordance with the


manufacturer’s published requirements.

4. All joints in the strip membrane shall have a minimum


overlap of 75mm.

5. The strip membrane shall not be exposed to direct sunlight Exposure


during periods of hot weather and shall be temporarily covered with a
suitable reflective foil laminate to reduce the occurrence of blisters and
bubbles developing in the membrane.

6. If blisters or bubbles are evident in the strip membrane prior Blistering


to the application of a bituminous seal on a bridge deck they shall be
repaired before application of the bituminous seal.

875.32 BITUMINOUS SEAL

1. If blisters or bubbles are evident prior to the application of


bituminous seal on a bridge deck they shall be repaired before the
application of the bituminous seal.

2. A bituminous seal shall be applied by either of the following


methods:

a) Where conventional bituminous sealing is to be applied, a


dilute emulsion prime and a waterproof rubberised seal shall
be applied in accordance with Specification 503 BITUMINOUS
SURFACING and the Drawings. The bituminous seal shall be
applied to the surface of the bridge deck within 48 hours of
the strip membrane being placed.
b) Where polymer modified bituminous (PMB) sealing is to be PMB Seals
applied, a dilute emulsion prime and a waterproof seal shall
be applied in accordance with Specification 509 POLYMER
MODIFIED BITUMINOUS SURFACING and the Drawings. The
bituminous seal shall be applied to the surface of the bridge
deck within 48 hours of the strip membrane being placed.

3. The bituminous seal shall be allowed to cure to remove cutting


oils prior to asphalt being placed. The length of curing will vary depending on
the quantity of cutting oil and the weather conditions at the time of curing.
Guidance is available in Main Roads document 6706-04-153.

875.33 ASPHALT

1. If blisters or bubbles are evident prior to the application of Blistering


the asphalt on a bridge deck they shall be repaired before the
application of the asphalt.

2. Asphalt shall not be applied if blistering is evident in the


bituminous seal in areas of the bridge deck to be subjected to vehicle
movements.

3. Prior to application of the asphalt the Contractor shall HOLD POINT


demonstrate to the Superintendent that the bituminous seal has
been cured for a sufficient period of time to remove volatile oils.

1. STRIP MEMBRANES

1.1 The description of the extent of waterproofing membranes must be checked


against the design Drawings and modified if appropriate.

2. BITUMINOUS SEAL

2.1 Within Perth and its environs Main Roads WA policy is to apply rubberised
seals in accordance with Specification 503 BITUMINOUS SURFACING. At sites distant
from Perth a PMB seal in accordance with Specification 509 POLYMER MODIFIED
BITUMINOUS SURFACING may be applied in lieu of a rubberised seal due to the
requirement for increased holding times. At remote sites a PMB suited to site blending
may be used.
