The manufacturer of the chemical grout shall beable to certify that the cured chemical grout is non-toxic andprovide such certification to the contractor when request

25、ed.4.2.5 Sealing material shall not be rigid or brittle whensubjected to dry atmosphere. Use consideration when selectingmaterials for freeze/thaw and moving load conditions. Theengineer is to specify which chemical grout type can or cannotbe exposed to dry atmosphere and which types must beinstalle

26、d into soils or wet conditions only, based on thechemical grout properties and recommended applications.4.2.6 The sealing material shall be non-corrosive.4.2.7 Careful consideration of current or potential wet-drycycles, ground pressures, and thermal conditions and applica-tion requirements must be

27、thoroughly reviewed by the contrac-tor or engineer when choosing or approving the appropriatetype of chemical grout.4.2.8 Careful consideration of water type (storm waterversus waste water) is to be considered when choosing orapproving the appropriate type of materials.4.3 AdditivesThe chemical grou

28、t must be applied so as tohave the grout material flow freely into the defects. To avoidany wasting of the material flowing through the defects gelcontrol agent may be added. Grout additions may also be usedfor catalyzing the reaction, inhibiting the reaction, buffering thesolution, lowering the fre

29、ezing temperature of the solution,acting as filler, providing strength, or inhibition of root growth.4.3.1 Additives must not alter other intended final propertiesand characteristics of the original material other than theproperties targeted for improvement.4.4 Material IdentificationThe contractor

30、shall com-pletely identify the types of grout, sealant, root control chemi-cals, or any combination thereof, used and provide casehistories of successful use or defend the choice of groutingmaterials based on chemical and tested physical properties,ease of application, and expected performance to th

The grout materialsTechnical Data Sheets, MaterialSafety Data Sheets, and the manufacturers application instruc-tions are to be submitted for approval by the engineer, ownersrepresentative, or authorized inspector.4.5 Mi

32、xing and Handling:4.5.1 HazardsMixing and handling of chemical grout,which may be toxic under certain conditions, shall be inaccordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer andin such a manner as to minimize hazard to personnel. It is theresponsibility of the contractor to provide appropriat

33、e protec-tive measures to ensure that the chemicals are handled byauthorized personnel and in the proper manner.4.5.2 All equipment shall be subject to the approval of theengineer, owners representative, or authorized inspector. Onlypersonnel thoroughly familiar with the handling of the groutmateria

34、l and additives shall perform the grouting operations.5. Procedure5.1 Manhole grouting shall not be performed until the repairor stabilization (bracing) of the manhole frame and grade ringsor any other structural manhole repairs are complete.5.2 Preliminary Repairs:5.2.1 The contractor shall cut and

35、 trim all stems and rootswithin the manhole.5.2.2 The contractor shall seal all unsealed lifting holes,unsealed step holes, and voids larger than approximately12 in.(1 cm) in thickness. All cracked or deteriorated material shallbe removed from the area to be patched and replaced with awaterproof qui

36、ck-setting mortar in accordance with manufac-turers specifications. The EGP method is also acceptable forplugging lift holes and similar patching.5.2.3 As required to complete sealing of the manhole, thecontractor may be required to perform the EGP in addition to,or as well as, the injection of chem

37、ical grout into voids or soilsurrounding the manhole to control inflowing water in largercracks, joints, or pipe to manhole boots. EGP is the sealing ofF 2414 04 (2009)2joints, cracks, or holes by soaking dry, oil-free oakum withchemical grout and forcing the oakum/resin plug into theopening until i

38、t sets.5.2.4 The contractor may also be required to perform theEGP to seal intruding drop or lateral connections, slip lineterminal seals, and open joints in RCP manholes.5.2.5 The contractor may also be required to perform theEGP to seal between the corbel and grade rings and betweenthe manhole fra

39、me and grade rings.5.2.6 Grout Curtain SealingIf a chemical grout curtain isrequired around a brick or block manhole, the procedure mayinvolve the use of chemical grout in combination with acoating.5.2.7 The manhole surface shall be cleaned, patched, and allactive leaks plugged and confirmed by the

40、engineer, ownersrepresentative, or authorized inspector, before coatings may beapplied.5.3 TemperatureNormal grouting operations shall be per-formed in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.5.4 Chemical Grouting Material UsageChemical grout-ing of the manhole may include corbel, wall, pipe s

41、eals,manhole joints, wall to flattop joint, bench/trough, or anycombination thereof. Chemical grouting may also includeprobe grouting around the exterior of the manhole and into thesurrounding soil in order to seal off or keep water away fromthe manhole, or to stabilize loose soils around the manhol

42、e.The engineer, owners representative, or authorized inspector,will direct areas of the manhole designated to be grouted. If theentire manhole is scheduled for grouting, grouting shall includethe entire manhole including corbel, wall, pipe seals, andbench/trough. Pipe seal grouting shall include all

43、 pipe seals inthe specified manhole and grouting of the specified manholeincluding the bench/trough to the maximum height of 18 in.(46 cm) from the crown of the pipes (see Fig. 1).5.5 Drilling and Injection:5.5.1 Injection holes shall be drilled through the manholewall at locations as recommended by

44、 the manufacturer. Injec-tion holes are always to be drilled staggered within rows (seeFig. 1). Additional injection holes shall be drilled near ob-served defects and at pipe seals.5.5.2 Grout shall be injected through the holes under pres-sure with a suitable probe. Injection pressure shall not cau

Grout shall be injected through the lowest holes first.The procedure shall be repeated until the manhole is externallysealed with grout.5.5.3 External grouting from the gr

46、ound surface may berequired to seal leaks due to cavities and voids around themanhole.5.5.4 Grout travel shall be verified by observation of groutextruding from defects or adjacent injection holes. Additionalinjection holes shall be drilled, if necessary, to ensure obser-vation of grout travel to al

47、l required regions.5.5.5 Injection holes shall be cleaned and patched with awaterproof quick-setting mortar for appropriate use on the typeof substrate material the manhole is composed of.6. Testing of Sealed Manholes6.1 For exfiltration or vacuum testing usually 10 % of thesealed manholes are teste

48、d, as chosen or required by theinspector. Manholes that fail are reworked and retested by thecontractor. If more that 5 % of the manholes tested fail theinitial test, an additional 10 % of the sealed manholes aretested. This process continues until the testing is satisfactory oruntil all manholes ha

49、ve been tested.6.2 Limitations of testing include recognizing that exfiltra-tion and vacuum testing may be non-applicable or cost-prohibitive for all manholes; therefore, the use of either methodis subject to the following considerations.6.2.1 Complete SealingThese test methods are applicableonly when the entire manhole has been sealed or rehabilitated.The sealing or rehabilitation of only some portions of themanhole may cause these tests to fail. Therefore spot repairsand partial sealing or rehabilitation can only be tested byobservat
