element’s size as per design and approval of the Engineer.
4. Chipping shall be performed using electrically operated concrete breaker of Hilti, Bosch, etc. with
the pointed chisel of the appropriate capacity. Heavy-duty machinery or jackhammers should not
be used to avoid damage to the structure element by excessive hammering. For removing a very
thin surface electrically operated scrabbling hammers may be used.
5. Chipping shall continue to achieve the required decided depth.
6. The substrate shall be prepared to a rough surface.
7. The prepared surface must be sound, dense, and free of all oil, grease loose and fractured
aggregate, or other contaminants that could impair adhesion.
8. Thoroughly saturate the surface of the concrete to provide a saturated surface dry condition. Any
surface water should be removed using an oil-free compressed air jet.
