E. Airless spray application equipment approved by the coating manufacturer shall be used to apply each coat of the protective coating. The air source is to be filtered to completely remove all oil and water.
F. If necessary, subsequent topcoating or additional coats of the protective coating should occur as soon as the basecoat becomes tack free, no later than the recoat window for the specified products. Additional surface preparation procedures will be required if this recoat window is exceeded.
G. When groundwater loading is not an issue and only a corrosion barrier is required, the rehabilitation lining shall be installed to the thickness necessary to qualify as a monolithic (void free) liner. The roughness of the substrate will dictate the thickness needed to create the monolithic liner and eliminate any opportunity for voids in the lining. The minimum value for coating thickness for corrosion protection for non-structural rehabilitation shall be 125 mils and structural shall be a minimum 250 mils.
3.07 TESTING AND INSPECTION
A. High Voltage Spark Test. After the protective coating has set hard to the touch it shall be inspected with high-voltage holiday detection equipment. This test is critical when applied to corrosion protection applications (i.e. mil coatings less than 250 mils). Applications above 250 mils do not need spark testing. Surface shall first be dried, an induced holiday shall then be made on to the coated concrete or metal surface and shall serve to determine the minimum/maximum voltage to be used to test the coating for holidays at that particular area. The spark tester shall be initially set at 100 volts per 1 mil (25 microns) of film thickness applied but may be adjusted as necessary to detect the induced holiday (refer to NACE RPO188-99). All detected holidays shall be marked and repaired by abrading the coating surface with grit disk paper or other hand tooling method. After abrading and cleaning, additional protective coating material can be hand applied to the repair area. All touch-up/repair procedures shall follow the protective coating manufacturer's recommendations.
B. Adhesion Testing. The adhesion tests shall be performed on a minimum of one or 10% of all rehabilitated structures, which ever is greater, or as shown on the Plan and/or specified in the Special Provisions. Adhesion testing shall be conducted after the lining or coating system has cured per manufacturer instruction and in accordance with ASTM D4541(Steel) or ASTM 7234(Concrete). Adhesion is critical for proper performance of a corrosion barrier (i.e. < 250 mils) Applications above 250 mils do not need adhesion testing. A minimum of one 20 mm dolly shall be affixed to the lined surface of the structure at the upper section or cone area, mid section and at the bottom, unless otherwise specified in the Special Provisions. Each testing location shall be identified by the Engineer. The adhesive used to attach the dollies to the liner shall be rapid setting with tensile strength in excess of the liner material and permitted to cure in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. The lining material and dollies shall be adequately prepared to receive the adhesive. Prior to pull test, the Contractor shall utilize a scoring device to cut through the coating until the substrate is reached. Extreme care shall be required while scoring to prevent micro cracking in the coating, since cracks may cause failures at diminished strengths. Failure due to improper dolly adhesive or scoring shall require retesting. The pull tests in each area shall meet or exceed 200 psi. and shall include subbase adhered to the back of the dolly or no visual signs of coating material in the test hole. Pull tests with results between a minimum 150 psi and 200 psi shall be acceptable if more than 50% of the subsurface is adhered to the back of the dolly. A test result can be discarded, as determined by the Engineer, if there is a valid nonstatistical reason for discarding the test results as directed by Sections 8.4 and 8.5 of ASTM D4541 and ASTM 7234. If any test fails, a minimum of three additional locations in the section of the failure shall be tested, as directed by the Engineer. If any of the retests fail, all loosely adhered or unadhered liner in the failed area, as determined by the Engineer, shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense. If a structure fails the adhesion test, one additional structure or 10% of the initial number of structures selected for testing shall be tested at the discretion of the Engineer and/or as specified in the Special Provisions.
NOTE: The mil thickness will be measured and confirmed with the scored and pulled test samples. In structural repairs (partially or fully deteriorated design assumptions), it is critical to confirm the design thickness with the pulled sample as adhesion is not assumed in the ASTM 1216 design. The primary purpose of the pull test in structural rehabilitation is to confirm applied thickness, not adhesion. Any derived adhesion is further enhancement to the final installation strength of the rehabilitated structure.
C. A final visual inspection shall be made by the Engineer and manufacturer's representative. Any deficiencies in the finished coating shall be marked and repaired according to the procedures set forth herein by Applicator.
D. The municipal sewer system may be put back into non-severe operational service as soon as the final inspection has taken place. However, for severe corrosion duty such as high concentrations of acids, bases or solvents, 4 to 8 hours may be necessary prior to returning to service. Consult coating manufacturer for further details.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR
RE: 2016 CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Dear General Contractor:
The City of Joliet currently has specifications, which require ten (10%) percent minority participation in contracts over $100,000.00. In an effort to track this information better, the City of Joliet will be requiring all GENERAL CONTRACTS to submit to the City a complete list of sub- contractors they intend to use on the awarded project at the pre-construction meeting. The issuance of this sub-contractor list will help the City ensure that minority requirements are met as well as prevailing wages. The sub-contractor list should include the dollar amount or percentage of this contract for the work the sub-contractor is responsible. I.D.O.T. for BC 260-A is an example of such an acceptable form. In addition, the specification states that monthly certified payroll records are to be submitted to the Engineer. This will also be enforced for the upcoming construction season.
The City of Joliet appreciates your effort throughout the years and looks forward to working with you in the upcoming construction season.
