PART 3

3.1 ABRASIVE-BLAST FINISH A. Abrasive-Blast Finish: Provide abrasive-blast finish where indicated on the Drawings. Abrasive-blast finish is noted as "sandblast" or "sandblasted" on the Drawings. 1. Perform abrasive blasting 24 to 72 hours after casting when concrete strength ranges between 1000 and 1500 psi (6.9 and 10.3 MPa). 2. Coordinate with formwork construction, concrete placement schedule, and formwork removal to ensure that surfaces to be abrasive blasted are treated at the same age for uniform results. B. Surface Continuity: Perform abrasive-blast finishing in as continuous an operation as possible, utilizing same work crew to maintain continuity of finish on each surface or area of Work. Maintain required patterns or variances in depths of blast to match design reference sample or mockup. C. Depth of Cut: Use an abrasive grit of proper type and gradation to expose aggregate and surrounding matrix surfaces to match design reference sample or mockup, as follows: 1. Brush: Remove cement matrix to eliminate surface sheen and expose face of fine aggregate. No reveal. 2. Light: Expose fine aggregate with occasional exposure of coarse aggregate and uniform color. Maximum reveal 1/16-inch (1.5 mm). 3. Medium: Generally expose coarse aggregate with slight reveal. Maximum reveal 1/4-inch (6 mm). 4. Heavy: Expose and reveal coarse aggregate to a maximum projection of one-third of its diameter; reveal 1/4- to 1/2-inch (6 to 12 mm). D. Abrasive Blasting: Abrasive blast corners and edges of patterns carefully, using backup boards, to maintain uniform corner or edge line. Determine type of nozzle, nozzle

pressure, and blasting techniques required to match design reference sample or mockup. E. Concrete Cleaning: After abrasive blasting to required depth is completed, clean surface with commercial concrete cleaner, as produced by ProSoCo or equal, according to the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. 1. Thoroughly neutralize and flush cleaning solution from finished surfaces with water under pressure. 2. Protect adjacent materials and finishes from washing and run-off. End of Section 03 35 23
