5. MATERIALS
  Materials shall be as shown on the referenced drawings and shall include:
 5.1 Asphaltic Membrane System.
    5.1.1 Chemical resistant asphaltic primer.
    5.1.2 Cold troweled acid proof membrane.
          Type L chemical resistant brick, scored (3) or (4) edges, meeting absorption
          specifications per ASTM-C-279 and ASTM-C-410. Brick shall be (200 mm x 95 mm x
          60 mm (8" x 3-3/4" x 2-1/4") .
          Chemical resistant mortar shall be silica free furan resin meeting ASTM Specification
          Standards C-306, C-307, and C-413.
6. PROCEDURE
 6.1 The Supervisor Inspection
   - The supervisor shall inspect areas to be lined to assure that surfaces are free of loose
     particles, dirt, oil, grease, ridges, depressions, cracks and is thoroughly dry.
 6.2 Concrete surfaces
     The contractor shall oversee application of asphalt membrane system, and chemical resistant
     brick as shown on the drawings and in accordance with the following procedure:
    6.2.1 After the concrete surface has been inspected and found to be acceptable, apply a
          single coat of asphalt primer to the entire concrete surface leaving absolutely no holes.
          Asphalt primer should be applied with a stiff brush. Allow primer to dry for a
          minimum of (8) hours, keeping dust or dirt away from the surface.
    6.2.2 Apply cold troweled acid proof membrane using a squeegee to minimum thickness of
          3 mm (1/8") in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Do not apply
          asphalt at temperatures below 40° F (4° C) or over damp concrete.
    6.2.3 Chemical resistant brick,200 mm x 95 mm x 60 mm (8 x 3-3/4 x 2-14") scored (4)
          edges for floors and walls shall be laid over the dry asphalt membrane using chemical
          resistant mortar. Bonded construction for brickwork shall be used. Floors and walls
          shall be 60 mm (2-1/4") thick.
    6.2.4 Brick laying – Apply mortar bed joint directly to the membrane or to lower course of
          brick. Butter each brick and press into place tapping with the trowel handle to insure
          proper seat squeezing excess mortar from joint, and eliminating all voids. A nominal
                                                  5
                                     JULY, 2005                        NIOEC-SP-10-07( 0 )
          1/8″ (3mm) or smaller joint is required. Excess mortar protruding from the joints shall
          be cut off with the edge of the trowel leaving a clean surface.
    6.2.5 Floor expansion joints – Lay entire first course of wall brick all the way around the pit.
          Lay the floor inside the wall brick leaving a space inside the wall brick twice the width
          of the anticipated expansion requirement of the floor. Fill the open joint thus formed
          with twisted asbestos fiber, filling the cavity, but not wedging to permit brick
          movement to compress the joint 50٪.
    6.2.6 All cutting of brick shall be done by power saw outside of the pit to prevent chips and
          other foreign particles from falling on the membrane. All brick shall be dried before
          apply mortar. Acid proof masonry shall be kept dry until cure is complete.
    6.2.7 All spoil and rubbish shall be removed from the worksite.
7. PLACING IN SERVICE
  Curing time required before placing in service: Seven days with temperature of 70°F (21°C)
  14 days with temperature of 50° F (10°C).
 7.1 Operating Temperature
 Normal – 50° – 75° (10° – 24°C)
 Maximum – 100°F (35°C)
8. INSPECTION
 - NIOEC' s inspector shall verify that procedures outlined herein are followed, unless revised
   procedures have been approved in writing by NIOEC.
 - Continuous observation shall be made by NIOEC's inspector, to assure that the procedures
   used result in a satisfactory brick lining.
 - Inspection and approval of materials and procedures by NIOEC shall not relieve the contractor
   of his responsibilities.
