I. PREPARATION
14mm holes must be drilled along the crack path between 200 300 mm
centres. The holes must be deep enough to receive the metal pipe slee es
(approx. 20mm)
Insert Sika metal pipe sleeves into all the holes and epoxy into position using
Sikadur 31CF Normal
Clean the concrete surface adjacent to the crack with a wire brush or
sandpaper.
Wipe down the concrete with a clean rag to remove any dust and loosely
adhering particles.
The cleaned surface is then sealed using Sikadur 31CF Normal applied by a spatula or
trowel.

II. CRACK INJECTION

Following the curing of the Sikadur 31CF Normal
(minimum of 12 hours at 30oC) the epoxy injection can commence.
Starting from one side or the lowest point of the crack a Sika nipple is
screwed into the first pipe sleeve and Sikadur 752 injected into the crack until
the epoxy is seen to ooze from the adjacent pipe sleeve, this pipe sleeve is
then sealed with a nipple, continue to inject the current port until refusal
(epoxy resin can not be injected more) and then start the injection of the
adjacent port and so on. This procedure is continued in the sequence
indicated until all have been completed.
Beginning at the first nipple filled, the nipple is removed and checked for
incomplete filling. If any of the pipe sleeves are found to be incompletely filled,
the injection of Sikadur 752 must recommence from the previous pipe sleeve
to the one found incomplete until full and the nipple replaced. This checking
process is continued (without interruption) along the crack until all have been
checked.
After a curing time of 12 hours the sleeve and nipples are trimmed off with an
angle grinder or other suitable equipment.
