F Definitions:
1. Ground Water Control Systems - installations external to the
excavation such as well points, eductors, or deep wells. Ground water
control includes dewatering and depressurization.
a. Dewatering - lowering the water table and intercepting seepage
which would otherwise emerge from slopes or bottoms of
excavations and disposing of removed water. The intent of
dewatering is to increase stability of excavated slopes; prevent
dislocation of material from slopes or bottoms of excavations;
reduce lateral loads on sheeting and bracing; improve excavating
and hauling characteristics of excavated material; prevent failure
or heaving of the bottom of excavations; and to provide suitable
conditions for placement of backfill materials and construction
of structures and other installations.
b. Depressurization-reduction in piezometric pressure within strata
not controlled by dewatering alone, as required to prevent failure
or heaving of excavation bottom.

P. Drying and recoating:
1. Provide fans, heating devices, or other means to prevent condensate or dew
on substrate surface or between coats and during curing after applying the last
coat.
2. Allow each coat to cure or dry thoroughly, in accordance with if required in
CSM's printed instructions, before recoating.
3. Use CSM's printed instructions and the requirements specified in this Section
to determine minimum required drying time.
a. Do not allow excessive drying time or exposure, which may impair bond
between coats.
b. Recoat all coatings within time limits recommended by CSM.
c. If time limits are exceeded, abrasive blast clean and de-gloss clean before
applying another coat.
4. If limitations on time between abrasive blasting and coating are not met before
attaching components to surfaces that cannot be abrasive blasted, coat
components before attachment.
5. Ensure primer and intermediate coats of coating are unscarred and completely
integral when applying each succeeding coat.
6. Touch up suction spots between coats and apply additional coats where
required to produce finished surface of solid, even color, free of defects.
7. Leave no holidays. Repair all holidays in accordance with the requirements on
pertinent Coating Detail Sheets or as recommended by the CSM.
8. Sand and feather in to a smooth transition and recoat scratched,
contaminated, or otherwise damaged coating surfaces so repairs are invisible
to the naked eye.
Q. Workmanship:
1. Ensure that coated surfaces are free from runs, drips, ridges, waves, laps, and
brush marks. Coats shall be applied to produce a smooth, even film of uniform
thickness completely coating corners and crevices.
2. Coat surfaces without drops, overspray, dry spray, excessive runs, ridges,
waves, holidays, laps, or brush marks.
3. Remove splatter and droppings after coating work is completed.
4. Evenly apply each coat of material and sharply cut to a line created with
masking tape or other suitable materials.

light abrasive blasting, or other procedures per CSM's instructions.
3. Allow adequate drying time between coats as instructed by the CSM, adjusted
as necessary for the site conditions.
4. Ensure that coatings, when applied, provide a satisfactory film and a smooth
even surface. Lightly sand glossy undercoats to provide a surface suitable for
proper application and adhesion of subsequent coats. Thoroughly stir and
strain coating materials during application and maintain uniform consistency.
5. Mix coatings with 2 or more components in accordance with CSM's
instructions.
6. Where necessary to suit conditions of the surface, temperature, weather and
method of application, thin the coating per CSM's recommendations.
a. Ensure that volatile organic content (VOC)of the thinned coating complies
with prevailing air pollution control regulations.
b. Thin coatings to only what is necessary to obtain proper application
characteristics.
c. Use a thinner recommended by the CSM.
S. Film thickness and continuity:
1. Apply coating to the specified thicknesses.
a. Apply additional coats when necessary to achieve specified thicknesses,
especially at edges and corners.
2. Verify WFT of the coating system first coat and after applying each
subsequent coat.
3. Do not allow the minimum thickness at any point to deviate more than
25 percent from the required average.
4. Do not allow the surface area covered per gallon of coating for various types of
surfaces to exceed those recommended by the CSM.
a. Provide coating coverage worksheets listing the maximum and minimum
coverage for each unit volume of coating for concrete surfaces.
5. Apply additional coats to achieve the specified dry film thickness if brush or
roller application methods cannot achieve the specified film thicknesses per
coat.
T. Protecting coated surfaces:
1. Do not handle, work on, or otherwise disturb coated items until the coating is
completely dry and hard.
