10 The Company With Connections MT THE NEXT LEVEL OF FLEXIBLE CONNECTORS A-LOK PREMIUM ASTM C-923 APPLICATION A LOK PREMIUM Designed to produce a guaranteed watertight seal between pipe and concrete, the A LOK Premium flexible pipeto-manhole connector provides maximum performance on the job site. Its unique design not only saves valuable project time, but also ensures longevity and offers unsurpassed environmental benefits. A LOK Premium connectors prevent infiltration and ex-filtration into wastewater or stormwater systems, and are installed in the precast structure in a way that does not require coring or placement after the base component is cast. This eliminates residual waste from coring, disposal of the slugs or wasted raw material utilization or energy. Once cast-in, the connector becomes an integral component of the structure wall. A LOK Premium has demonstrated in tests that it will meet and exceed 13 psi of hydrostatic water pressure. MATERIAL Extruded from compounds formulated for wastewater applications and engineered to conform to the requirements of section of ASTM C-923, the standard rubber connector is available in alternative compounds upon request. Contact an A LOK representative regarding special applications, such as the presence of hydrocarbons. KEY ADVANTAGES Smooth Wall Pipe Precast Concrete Manhole Close-up View Showing Connectors Flexibility Cast in A-LOK Premium Connector. For all types of smooth wall pipe. The external appearance of the A LOK Premium connector appears to be a standard connector, but under differential loading or pipe deflection it will instantaneously react and redistribute its visco-elastic dynamic core material to maintain its circumferential sealing pressure. This visco-elasticity behavior is made possible by introducing a blend of environmentally friendly fibers, binders, polymers and congealing agents into the connector core which provides a controllable and dynamic viscose fluid within the connector. In most installations, this material will remain equally distributed throughout the core of the connector provided proper pipe bedding practices have taken place. In the event that shortterm or long-term settlement of the pipe begins to occur, the core KEY ADVANTAGES (Continued) material will react by redistributing and equalizing the blended materials to maintain its proper sealing compression. A specific combination of fibers and congealing agents have been selected to prevent the escape or loss of material through absorption or from minor punctures or tears that could occur during the initial coupling of the connector and during its service life. Benefits and advantages include: 1. Functioning on pure compression, the A LOK Premium allows for fast and easy field installation. After the pipe is beveled and the connector and pipe are cleaned and lubricated, the pipe is simply centered in the connector and inserted. Backfilling can be done immediately, thus enhancing project safety and overcoming the typical problems of water, running sand and other unstable trench conditions. 2. Efficient geometry of the profile lowers the coupling force required to insert the pipe into both radius and flat wall connector designs. Lower coupling force translates into quicker and easier installation. 3. Increased nominal pipe diameter tolerance over conventional compression connector designs while still maintaining up to 10 degrees of omnidirectional axial deflection. 4. Dynamic self-sealing core material can compensate for changes in dimensions and physical eccentricity. 5. Available in a range of sizes from 8 through 48 utilizing existing A LOK mandrels. 6. Backed by standard A-LOK Watertight Guarantee. 7. Like other A LOK connectors on larger-diameter pipe where size prohibits a gasket from being installed in a flat plane, the A LOK Premium can be configured for casting in a curve with the connector staying perpendicular to the center line of the pipe. Discovered through years of extensive research and development, this configuration causes no loss of compression or deflection. PRODUCT REFERENCES A.)

The connector shall be The A LOK Premium Connector as manufactured by A LOK Products, Inc., Tullytown, PA or approved equal. The design of the connector shall provide a flexible, watertight seal between the pipe and concrete structure. The connector shall assure that a seal is made between: 1. The connector and the structure wall by casting the connector integrally with the structure wall during the manufacturing process in a manner that it will not pull out during pipe coupling. The connector shall also be capable of being cast into a round structure by curving the connector in a manner that allows it to remain centrally located within the structure wall and perpendicular to the pipe. This configuration will result in no loss of seal or deflection of pipe entering a concrete structure. 2. The seal between the connector and the pipe shall be made by the compression of the connector between the outside circumference of the factory installed smooth oversleeve of a corrugated pipe or the smooth surface of a traditional pipe and the interior hole opening of the structure. The connector shall be the only component to affect the seal between the pipe and structure. The connector shall be made from materials that conform to the physical and Section 4, Materials and Manufacture of ASTM C-923 Standard Specification for Resilient Connectors Between Reinforced Concrete Manhole Structures and Laterals, and the overall design will meet or exceed Section 7, Test Methods and Requirements of ASTM C-923.

14 The Company With Connections MT PIPE TO STRUCTURE CONNECTOR FOR STORMWATER SYSTEMS A LOK STM A LOK STM The A LOK STM is a flexible pipe-to-manhole connector designed for the prevention of soil and water infiltration into stormwater sewer systems. It can be used with both round and elliptical shaped pipes and curved and flat wall structures. It is available for 8" diameter and larger pipes. MATERIAL The standard connector is extruded from a polyisoprene compound engineered to conform with the requirements outlined in section of ASTM C-1478 Standard Specification for Storm Drain Resilient Connectors Between Reinforced Concrete Storm Sewer Structures, Pipes, and Laterals. Alternative compounds are available for unusual applications upon special order. KEY ADVANTAGES The A LOK STM Connector functions on pure compression, making field installation quick and easy. Just clean and lubricate the connector and pipe, center the pipe in the connector, and insert. This rapid installation permits immediate backfilling, enhancing project safety and overcomes the normal problems encountered with water, running sand and other unstable trench conditions. This results in shorter job projections, while mininizing traffic interruption and cost overruns. The A LOK STM provides up to 10 of omnidirectional deflection while still maintaining a watertight seal. This design allows the connector to compensate for shear due to settlement or ground movement preventing water and soil infiltration into the sewer system. This proper pipe-tostructure connection minimizes the chance of pothole formation and sediment build-up in the storm system, saving states and municipalities money over the life of the structure. On larger diameter pipe when size prohibits a gasket from being installed in a flat plane, an A LOK STM Connector can be configured for casting in a curve with the connector staying perpendicular to the center line of the pipe. This design has resulted from years of extensive research and development and causes no loss of compression or deflection. PRODUCT REFERENCES A.)

16 The Company With Connections MT INCOMPARABLE PIPE-TO-MANHOLE CONNECTORS FOR SANITARY SYSTEMS X-CEL A LOK X-CEL Designed to produce a guaranteed watertight seal between pipe and concrete, the A LOK X-CEL flexible pipe-tomanhole connector provides maximum performance on the job site. Its unique design not only saves valuable project time, but also ensures longevity and offers unsurpassed environmental benefits. A LOK X-CEL connectors prevent infiltration and ex-filtration into wastewater or stormwater systems, and are installed in the precast structure in a way that does not require coring or placement after the base component is cast. This eliminates residual waste from coring, disposal of the slugs or wasted raw material utilization or energy. Once cast-in, the connector becomes an integral component of the structure wall. Based on the traditional A LOK connector, the X-CEL's enhanced features improve performance. Take the patented water pocket for example, which utilizes the untapped pressure of ground water to exert a clamping force around the connector and pipe, allowing the connector to perform in deeper installations. Demonstrated in tests higher than 15 psi of hydrostatic water pressure, the X-CEL's unique design provides 45 percent more rubber contact with the pipe, allowing for greater pipe deflection. MATERIAL Molded or extruded from compounds formulated for wastewater applications and engineered to conform to the requirements of section of ASTM C-923, the standard rubber connector is available in alternative compounds upon request. Contact an A LOK representative regarding special applications, such as the presence of hydrocarbons. KEY ADVANTAGES The A LOK X-CEL offers distinct advantages for engineers, specifiers, precasters and municipalities. An enhanced profile gives the connector 45% greater rubber contact with the pipe, thus allowing the pipe to be deflected in excess of 10 degrees of omnidirectional deflection, all the while maintaining a watertight seal. These enhancements allow for more flexibility to compensate for pipe shear due to settlement or ground movement. KEY ADVANTAGES (continued) On larger-diameter pipe, where size prohibits a gasket from being installed in a flat plane, the X-CEL can be configured for casting in a curve with the connector staying perpendicular to the center line of the pipe. Discovered through years of extensive research and development, the configurations cause no loss of compression or deflection. Functioning on pure compression, the X-CEL allows for fast and easy field installation. After the connector and pipe are cleaned and lubricated, the pipe is simply centered in the connector and inserted. Backfilling can be done immediately, thus enhancing project safety and overcoming the typical problems of water, running sand and other unstable trench conditions. For Specifiers, the X-CEL connector offers a guaranteed solution to the age-old containment system problem of the best way to connect pipes and concrete structures. Precasters using X-CEL connectors experience increased satisfaction due to their ability to offer a complete watertight, guaranteed product, while municipalities that install X-CEL will ultimately spend less on road repair by avoiding the possibility of pot/sink holes that are often the result of leaking, non-connected, systems.

25 Application & Installation 1. GrandSlam Lubricant is ready to use in the pail. Do not dilute, thin, or otherwise alter its consistency. For best results lubricate surfaces right before making connections. 2. Clean all surfaces before applying lube. Outside the pipe and all over the connector for pipe penetrations. Inside the bell outside the spigot for pipe to pipe. 3. For pipe penetrations into a connector, bevel the pipe, lubricate the connector all around, then lubricate the pipe back ½ its diameter up to The lubricant can be brushed on, swabbed on, or wiped on by hand with a cloth glove. Be sure to get full lubricant coverage. Don t leave any area DRY. GrandSlam Lubricant makes such applications easy by grabbing and clinging to all surfaces. 5. Because GrandSlam lubricant will adhere when applied under water, steps 1-6 can be done in the rain or in a wet trench just like an A-LOK pipe installation. 6. After lubrication, a pipe can be centered and inserted into a connector or pipes can be aligned and joined by an approved coupling method. 7. For pipe to pipe installations position the gasket in the groove and equalize its stretch by lifting it slightly with a screwdriver while completely circling the pipe. Apply lubrication on top of the newly inserted gasket using one of the methods in step 4.

30 G3 BOOT SYSTEM The Company With Connections PIPE TO MANHOLE CONNECTOR FOR SANITARY OR STORMWATER SYSTEMS A LOK G3 BOOT SYSTEM The Revolutionary G3 Band makes installation into a structure simple and fast. Just install the connector perpendicular to the hole and tighten the stainless steel nut. As the nut is tightened, a compressive force is applied to the G3 band ends, causing them to slide past each other into straight alignment. This movement increases the bands overall circumference and compresses the connector against the opening in the structure wall, creating a watertight seal. To insure the best seal, place the bolt in the 12 o clock position of the hole opening and tighten the nut to the specified torque value. MATERIAL The connector shall be made from materials that conforms to the physical and chemical requirements outlined in Section 4, Materials and Manufacture of ASTM C-923 Standard Specification for Resilient Connectors Between Reinforced Concrete Manhole Structures, Pipes, and Laterals, and the overall design will meet or exceed Section 7, Test Methods and Requirements of ASTM C The connector shall be sized specifically for the type of pipe being used and shall be installed in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. PRODUCT REFERENCES G3 BOOT SYSTEM WITH COMPONENT PACKAGING AND TORQUE WRENCHES G3 Boot System meets or exceeds requirements of ASTM C-923 KEY ADVANTAGES The G3 Boot System can withstand 15 of omnidirectional deflection and ½ of centerline offset while still maintaining a watertight connection. This flexibility eliminates infiltration due to pipe shear caused by settlement or ground movement. The inner O-ring design of the G3 Connector eliminates rubber wrinkling, compensates for pipe irregularity and wall thickness to insure a watertight seal. G3 Component Packaging, featuring a tough loop lock fastener that keeps installation instructions, take down clamp, boot and band secure together from factory to job site. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS A flexible pipe to manhole connector shall be used whenever a pipe penetrates into a precast concrete manhole or structure. The connector shall be the G3 Boot System featuring component packaging as manufactured by A LOK PRODUCTS, INC., Tullytown, PA, or approved equal.

The design of the liner shall provide a corrosion protective barrier permanently embedded to the inside wall of the structure. The liner system shall assure that: 1) The liner shall become an integrally part of the structure wall by casting the liner with the structure during the manufacturing process. The liner shall also be capable of being cast into a round structure by curving the liner in a manner that allows it to remain permanently attached to the inside structure wall. 2) Vertical joints between the liner sections shall be made by the mechanical compression of a EPDM rubber strip between the returns of the two panels with self tapping screws spaced every 3 inches apart. 3) Horizontal joints between structure sections shall be sealed with an approved butyl strip compressed between the sections in a manner as recommended by the manufacturer. 4) The liner system shall be composed from materials that are corrosion resistant by nature and conforms to the physical and chemical requirements as determined by the manufacturer. 5) The liner shall be sized specifically for the type of structure being used and shall be installed in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer.

46 PRECAST INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Inspect core for sharp or jagged edges that could damage the liner during the shipping process. 2. Place Dura Plate 100 Liner panels level around the core of the form. Form release agent is not necessary. 3. Install the vertical joints by placing the black rubber strip between the panel returns, making sure that the flap of the strip is fitted over one of the returns. 4. Place backing plate on the inside return of panel that the flap fits over. Hold together with spring loaded clamps evenly spaced about 12" apart. 5. Secure the panels together with fasteners placed every 3 inches, making sure that each fastener is tightened to 5 in-lbs. Note: The fasteners must be installed from the side opposite the flap, straight thru the backing plate, parallel to the liner. 6. Repeat for all seams. Note: Caulk can be placed between the form core and liner returns to minimize concrete seepage during production. 7. Install reinforcement into form with any other necessary parts needed for the structure. 8. Pour concrete around the liner evenly to prevent shifting of the liner. 9. Vibrate and compact the concrete in a manner that will protect the liner and produce a dense, homogenous structure. 10. Take precaution to protect the liner from sharp or jagged objects while stripping from the form. 11. Visually inspect the liner after production for any cuts or tears. If repairs are needed, refer to Dura Plate 100 Liner repair bulletin for proper repair procedures. 12. If steps or ladders are to be installed, drill all holes in liner larger than the diameter of the step. Install steps or ladder then caulk area around step and liner with FR500 caulking material (Lap Sealant). 13. Protect all hole opening surfaces with a minimum 1/8 inch coverage of Sewer Guard that overlaps the liner at least a 1½ inches. JOB SITE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS When unloading the structure be careful. Take measures to protect the liner from being damaged by rocks or other debris. Lift carefully, do not drag. 2.

51 WATER LOKTM GRADE WORK PROTECTION SYSTEM Inflow & Infiltration ( I&I) deterioration of grade work is one of the leading causes of pothole formation around manholes. Grade work is constantly being attacked by the pounding and vibration of traffic, the corrosive effect of chemicals produced by bacteria found in sewer systems, and the freeze/thaw cycle. These forces destroy the grade work by creating voids that eventually turn into potholes. Protect your grade work with WATER LOK. IS YOUR GRADE WORK PROTECTED? The Problem With Unprotected Grade Work. WATER LOK is a telescopic liner system that protects the grade work area from water infiltration as well as chemical attack. The self adjustability of the system allows it to compensate for grade movement after installation. Water LOK can be used in both new and rehabilitation projects and is compatible with all mechanical means for securing castings to structures.

56 GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION BUTYL-LOK sealant systems are customed engineered and manufactured to comply with current standards and specifications required by the Federal, State and local regulatory agencies for use by the precast concrete industry and its contractors. BUTYL-LOK sealants are supplied in ready-to-apply forms for all weather installations and conditions. Specific applications are: SANITARY AND STORM SEWER MANHOLES PIPE (Round, Oval, Flatbase, Elliptical and Arch types) BOX CULVERTS UTILITY VAULTS BURIAL VAULTS SEPTIC TANKS AND SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS WET WELLS PRECAST CONCRETE WALL PANEL SYSTEMS PRODUCT REFERENCES BUTYL-LOK meets or exceeds all basic requirements of Federal Specification *SS-S-21 0-A *AASHTO M-198 and ASTM C-990. *NOTE: Meets all aspects with exception of flash point and fire point. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION Butyl Rubber-Hydrocarbon (% by wt.) ASTM D % Inert Mineral Filler (% by wt.) SS-S-210-A % Volatile Matter (% by wt.) ASTM D Max. 1.0% *NOTE: Contains no asbestos fibers or asphaltics. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES KEY ADVANTAGES BUTYL-LOK sealants remain permanently flexible and form permanent bonds to a wide variety of substrates including concrete, metals and plastics. These products are designed not to shrink or oxidize and have excellent resistance to environmental temperature extremes, acid and alkaline conditions. Adhesion and cohesion actually improves after joint has been formed and placed in service. SURFACE PREPARATION Joint surfaces should be clean and dry. Due to the high adhesive quality of BUTYL-LOK, priming of the joint surfaces is not normally required. However, should wet or unusual application conditions exist, it is recommended that either BUTYL-LOK Emulsion (non-flam) or Solvent (flammable) Adhesive Primer be coated on the joint surface and allowed to dry a minimum of 10 minutes before application of joint sealant. APPLICATION BUTYL-LOK bonds instantly to joint surfaces and to itself. Always butt ends of preformed sealant together never overlap. Leave protective release paper on sealant during application and remove only after structure is ready for coupling. The joint should them be coupled with sufficient pressure for proper joint completion. The resulting annular space after structure is properly coupled, determines the volume (cross-section size) of BUTYL-LOK required. Specific 77 F. ASTM D F. ASTM D Min. 6.0 CM Cone 77 F.

61 SECONDARY INVERT FORMING SYSTEM TRU-CONTOUR The Company With Connections TRU-CONTOUR The Tru-Contour standard system allows for 2/3 invert depth and is compatible with a variety of flexible pipe to manhole connectors. Full depth systems are also available. The Tru-Contour assembly consists of: 1) A hole adapter which is designed to align the invert assembly with the flexible pipe to manhole connector. This insures pipe to invert compatibility. 2) A series of 4 wedges and straight sections which when combined provides an unlimited selection of angles to create enough flexibility to form an in invert within 1.5 degrees. 3) A stabilizing jack which prevents from floatation during casting operations. This insures that correct fall is maintained across the manhole base. AVAILABILITY CHART A-LOK Products, Inc. and Tru-Contour have joined forces to bring together the best in secondary precast inverts available today. The Tru-Contour Invert Forming System offers the manhole producer a very durable, systematic and versatile method of forming all invert configurations from 4" through 48" diameter. KEY ADVANTAGES Two, three, and four way configurations including dead end combinations with a standard.2 ft. of elevation difference (fall) can be made easy and rapidly without the need for skilled labor. Greater fall can be obtained based on the operators' ability to experiment. The system's versatility is due to an unlimited combination of four basic wedges. With the combination of one or more of these wedges, any angle can be obtained within 1.5 degrees. This allows enough flexibility to effectively form an invert which aligns perfectly with the entering pipeline. SIZE (IN/DIA.) 2-WAY 3-WAY 4-WAY 4" 6" 8" 10" 12" 15" 18" 21" 24" 27" 30" 36" 42" 48" System also available in Single Piece construction. The Tru-Contour system cuts costly labor both in set-up and concrete finishing time. A basic three way can be set up in approximately fifteen minutes and depending on pouring procedures, can allow an average of four inverts per day to be formed from a single system. Finishing time is kept to a minimum due to the accuracy of flows the forms create. Each invert in regard to channel width, depth and radial turn is form finished. Patent #4,484,724

75 AV-202 Multigrout Page 02 Introduction General Information continued. AV-202 Multigrout is a chemical grout system of water-soluble hydrophilic polyurethane pre-polymers. Multigrout reacts freely with water to form a strong film, gel or foam according to the mix design requirements of the application. This capability makes Multigrout ideal for use as a remedial water stop in a wide range of construction applications. The form of the final product, whether it is film, gel or foam, is controlled by the ratio of water to AV-202 Multigrout. For example, a mixture of 1 part Multigrout and from 1 to 5 parts water will produce a product with the general properties of a foam. A mixture of 1 part Multigrout and approximately 7 to 10 parts water will result in a resilient gel. A mixture of 1 part Multigrout and 16 to 20 parts water will result in a soft gel. Ratios of 1 part Multigrout and 25 to 30 parts water create a very soft gel. The specific physical properties of AV-202 Multigrout, when combined with water in various ratios, are depicted later in this manual. As the ratio of water to Multigrout increases, the viscosity of the mixture decreases. The nature of a particular application dictates the proper ratio of Multigrout to water and experience is the best teacher for how to choose the correct mixture. An operator must always bear in mind that each application is unique and requires planning. The ideal goal should always be a balance between an initial product viscosity that makes placement effective and easy and a final product that will accomplish the job at hand. An outstanding feature of AV-202 Multigrout is its adaptability to any of several water stop requirements. In an application needing a foam, for example, the product is appropriate as well as another application where a resilient gel is required. The property of the end product is easily controlled by any application program. Furthermore, AV-202 Multigrout can also be altered during a grouting program. For example, a quick foam can be formed initially and later backed up with a dense, strong gel, all from the same basic product. Complex grouting applications can often be simplified by the use of AV-202 Multigrout. General Information AV-202 Multigrout Due to the adaptability of AV-202 Multigrout, the product is appropriate for many different waterproofing and sealing problems. It may be injected with a positive displacement pump or used with AV-219 (Oakum) for large cracks or joints and placed by hand. The ability to control the physical properties of the final product gives the applicator a tool for a wide variety of grouting programs. For injection placement, the best equipment is a positive displacement pump such as the Graco Airless Sprayer. For example, by combining Multigrout with water in a ratio of one part Multigrout and 1 to 5 parts of water, the resulting foam might be used to fill an abandoned pipeline. With a greater ratio of water to Multigrout, perhaps in the range of 1 part Multigrout to 10 parts of water, the product can be injected into a subsurface structure to seal cracks in concrete. By increasing the water ratio even higher to perhaps a 1 to 20 ratio of Multigrout to water, the resilient gel can be effectively used as an impermeable barrier for other applications. AV-202 Multigrout is often used for grouting joints and repairing leaks in large sanitary and storm sewer pipes by forming a flexible gasket or plug in the flowing water path. In an uncured form, AV-202 is a viscous liquid similar in appearance to common honey. When mixed with a small amount of water, however, the grout expands and rapidly cures to a tough, flexible, cellular rubber that is essentially unaffected by sewer environments. AV-202 Multigrout has a strong affinity for water. Although normally not required, standard static mixers may be used. Upon curing, the gel can contain many times its own volume of water. The mixture of AV-202 Multigrout and water is initially low in viscosity and can be injected under pressure to seal voids, fissures or cracks. Once the gel has cured, it is resistant to water, thus reducing permeability and forming an effective water shut off system. The cured grout also increases the strength of the soil mass and consolidates the soil. When AV-202 Multigrout is mixed with a small amount of water, a reaction proceeds through two stages: foam stage and cure stage. Both stages of the grout must be understood and controlled to obtain good results. The ambient temperature of the grout is the primary variable that affects foam and cure times. Within 15 to 45 seconds after mixing, depending on mix ratios and the temperature of the grout and mix water, the material will begin to foam. The viscosity is such that the grout will not readily flow out of the point of placement, i.e., into the pipe or the soil outside of the pipe. If unrestrained, the material may expand up to ten times the original unreacted volume of grout and water. Unrestrained expansion, however, results in a foam of low density. A compacted foam is more desirable for most applications and fillers or reinforcements such as oakum may be used to provide acceptable density. Following the foam stage is the cure stage. During the cure stage, the grout solidifies and forms a cellular rubber gasket (reinforced by oakum if it has been added) which can withstand a water pressure test. After placement and the foam stage, the grout will continue to cure over the next several hours; however, within five to ten minutes it has achieved sufficient strength to form a serviceable water barrier.

76 AV-202 Multigrout Page 03 Specific Description of AV-202 Multigrout Instructions for Using AV-202 Multigrout AV-202 Multigrout is a hydrophilic polymer. The uncured material is a caramel colored, translucent liquid with a viscosity in the 2500 centipoise range at 86 F. At workable water to polymer ratios, however, the viscosity can be adjusted to approach the 15 to 30 centipoise range. AV-202 contains non-volatile materials constituting almost 100% of its total weight. When mixed with a specific quantity of water, the material can expand 10 to 12 times its original volume and cure to a tough, flexible and elastomeric condition. After completely curing, the AV-202 may exhibit strength properties of up to 80 psi tensile and 500% elongation. Physical Properties of AV-202 Multigrout The physical properties of monolithic films prepared with Multigrout are summarized as follows: Table One: Water : AV-202 Ratio % AV-202* 20:1 10:1 5:1 5% 10% 20% Tensile Strength (kg/cm2) ** Elongation (%) Tear Strength (kg/cm2) * Concentration by weight of Multigrout in the aqueous solution used to prepare a monolithic film. ** A foamy film is obtained when concentration is higher than 20%, i.e., less than five parts of water to one part of AV-202 Multigrout. Although the AV-202 Multigrout pre-polymer is a relatively thick material, it is easily handled with commercially available positive displacement pumps. AV-202 Multigrout is designed to cure with water, and may absorb large quantities into the reaction mass. The ratio of water to AV-202 Multigrout chosen depends upon the application. For most applications which require the use of gels, the water to AV-202 Multigrout ratio should be in the range of 10:1 to 15:1 by volume. Higher ratios (i.e., greater than 15:1) give lower initial viscosities and longer gel times but reduce the unconfined compressive strength of the consolidated material in the grout zone. Such high ratios are primarily used for short-term erosion control of surface soils. The initial mixed viscosity of the water to AV-202 Multigrout blend is important in determining the soils that can be penetrated and pumping pressure required. With the AV-202 Multigrout system, the initial mixed viscosity is dependent primarily on the water to AV-202 Multigrout ratio and water temperature. The linearity of the rate at which the viscosity of the mixed grout increases from the time of mixing up to gelation is a second important factor in determining the degree and types of soil that can be penetrated. With the AV-202 Multigrout, the viscosity remains low for the initial 60 to 70% of the gel time and then increases rapidly as the blend approaches gelation. The relationship between temperature and viscosity of AV-202 Multigrout pre-polymer (prior to mixture with water) is illustrated in Table Three. Table Three: Temperature Viscosity Chemical Properties During the initial reaction stage of Multigrout with water, amines and carbon dioxide are generated by a reaction with water in the soil or water injected with the grout pump at the site of the leak to be sealed. Then, the resultant amines react quickly with an isocyanate group to form compounds with a three-dimensional structure cross-linked with urea and biuret linkages. These compounds form a gel which is insoluble in water. Table Two: Chemical Properties F C CPS The relationship between the concentration of Multigrout (water/polymer ratio) and the properties of the resultant material is in Table Four.

Gel time is controlled primarily by two factors: 1. Water temperature 2. Water : AV-202 ratio Lower water temperatures and higher water to AV-202 ratios give longer gel and tack free times. Gel times may also vary slightly with the age of the AV-202 and chemical content of the water. Table Five depicts the relationship between gel time and concentration of Multigrout with gel time measured at 3 levels of temperature in the aqueous solution. Table Five: Water : AV-202 Ratio 2:1 5:1 8:1 10:1 12:1 14:1 16:1 18:1 20:1 Temperature ( F ) Set Time in Minutes Table Six illustrates the relationship between foam time and concentration of Multigrout. Foam time was measured at 78 temperature in the aqueous solution. The foam requires approximately an equal amount of time to reach a tack free condition after its initial set. Grout - pounds Data shows that the permeability of a soil grouted with AV-202 in gel form is a function of the extent that voids are filled with grout. Values in the 10-7 to 10-9 cm/sec range should be obtained when voids are essentially full of grout using the constant head permeability test method (ASTM D-2434). Estimating AV-202 Application Requirements AV-202 is designed to be used by qualified applicators with the proper equipment. Grouting equipment for the application of this product is available from Avanti International Pipe Diameter - inches Figure 1: AV-202 Multigrout required for large diameter pipes. Note: Refer to Avanti International s Large Diameter Pipe Sealing Specification available online at The quantities of AV-202 Multigrout required to rehabilitate or repair concrete pipe joints of various diameters are shown in Figure 1. These quantity estimates are based on actual field experience but may vary slightly in the smaller diameter pipe and substantially in the larger diameter pipe. Some factors which may affect the quantity of AV-202 required are: 1. Original gasketing materials remaining in the joint. 2. Open or off-set condition of the joint. 3. Severity of infiltration or exfiltration at the joint. 4. Type and condition of grouting equipment to be used. 5. Application method used. AL-02P4

78 AV-202 Multigrout Page 05 Estimating AV-202 Application Req. continued. Cleanup Procedures continued. Other factors may affect quantities required. These figures are intended only as a guide. In joints, the primary factor influencing the quantity of AV-202 Multigrout required to seal a given joint is the size of the joint gap. The amount of AV-202 required will be less if old joint compounds still partially fill the joint. As a rough rule of thumb, one fluid ounce of AV-202 will be required per lineal inch of joint having a gap of one inch between the bell and spigot. Actual examination of joint conditions, coupled with considerable experience, is necessary to accurately estimate grout quantities. This is particularly true for sealing large diameter pipe joints as shown in Figure 1. In some instances, special equipment and techniques can be employed to reduce material quantities required without affecting the quality of the seal. Project planners are strongly encouraged to consult with an approved applicator of Avanti products or an experienced grouting contractor when preparing material cost estimates. Application of AV-202 Multigrout Normally an overnight soak will dissolve most deposits and sufficiently soften them for easy removal. To clean the entire grouting system, flush grout from system with up to 5 gallons of AV-208 (Technical Grade Acetone). Pump until acetone runs clean. DO NOT REUSE. Safety During Cleanup Acetone is flammable and the precautions necessary for any flammable material should be followed. Since grout compound which comes into contact with clothing cannot be removed, rain gear or disposable coveralls are highly recommended. Hats or hoods help keep the material from dripping into the hair during overhead application. Handling and Storage of AV-202 Multigrout Care must be taken in handling and storage of AV-202 Multigrout. The material is sensitive to moisture and moderately sensitive to high storage temperatures. Optimum storage is F under fairly dry conditions. Storage temperature should not exceed 80 F. Properly stored, the material should have a useful shelf life of two years. Once a container has been opened, the useful life of the material is reduced. The EGP Technique The Expanded Gasket Placement Technique (EGP) is the process whereby jute strips, soaked in AV-202, are then packed around various types of pipe to achieve a very effective seal. For further information concerning EGP, consult the Avanti EGP brochure, which can be downloaded from the Avanti website at The V-PAT Technique for Sealing Joints and Cracks The Variable Pressure Application Technique (V-PAT) can be used to apply pure AV-202 Multigrout resin in both cracks and expansion joints. The methods used for these two water control problems are somewhat different, but the basic steps are the same. The procedures for sealing cracks and joints by the V-PAT method may be found on the Avanti website at Cleanup Procedures Cleaning Most day-to-day cleanup and purging of nonhydrated grout (liquid AV-202 that has not been exposed to water or moisture) from pumps, fittings, and hoses can be accomplished with AV-208 (Technical Grade Acetone). Although acetone is preferred, MEK or other solvents are sometimes used. When using solvents for cleanup, extinguish all sources of ignition in the area and observe proper precautionary measures for handling such materials. If small component parts must be cleaned of cured grout, it is best to disassemble and soak them in a 100% solution of AV-222 Grout Cleaner. (Always use polyethylene plastic or steel containers for soaking). Safety Procedures Please refer to the Avanti AV-202 Multigrout MSDS available online at Exposure AV-202 Multigrout in nonhydrated or liquid form may cause skin and eye irritation following direct contact. If AV-202 comes in contact with skin, it should be washed off with soap and water. Material getting into the eyes must be flushed out immediately with water and a physician should be consulted. AV-202 Multigrout should not be ingested. Before eating, smoking, or drinking liquids, remove protective clothing such as gloves and coveralls, wash hands with soap and water and stand away from the immediate work site. DO NOT SMOKE while working with AV-202 Multigrout. If respiratory difficulties are encountered when working with AV-202 Multigrout, obtain medical attention. Users should avoid excessive exposure to vapors and keep the work area sufficiently ventilated to avoid exceeding the toluene diisocyanate Threshold Limit Value (TLV). Gloves, goggles, respirator, and protective clothing are recommended when working with this product. Ventilation Ventilation is an important aspect of project planning. Small amounts of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) may be present. A small segment of the population may be more sensitive to TDI than the norm. A respirator equipped with an organic vapor cartridge should always be available and ventilation augmented by blowers or fans when appropriate. AvantiGrout stops leaks. Permanently. AL-02P5

83 Big boxes, big seals DIXIE CONTRACTOR, August 5, 1991 Custom design helped a drainage project to a successful completion at Dixie Landings, a Florida development. Florida is a land of superlatives world's brightest sunshine, world's most beautiful beaches, and on and on. Now, thanks to recent construction at the Dixie Landings Resort, Florida claims another record too. It's now the site of the world's largest flexible pipe to manhole seal. Construction began last year on the Dixie Landings Resort Community Phase 1. The project in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., was designed by the Boyle Engineering Corporation of Orlando. Phillips & Jordan Incorporated of Knoxville, Tenn., submitted the low bid for Phase I of the project. Construction of the storm drainage for this phase of the project involved the installation of 184 storm sewer structures and more than 20,500 linear feet of storm drainage pipe in sizes of 8 in. PVC up to 84 in. RCP. The work involved depths exceeding 14 vertical feet. Plans called for phase I of the project be constructed on a very tight construction schedule which required the storm sewer structures to be delivered, excavated, installed and backfilled within 90 days from the first shipment. Phillips &Jordan choose Atlantic Concrete Products of Sarasota, Fla., as the supplier of the precast drainage structures and specified that the A-LOK STM Connector manufactured by ALOK Products of Tullytown, Penn., be installed in every location possible. Included in the 184 storm drainage structures were five special structures to accommodate direction changes of the 1040 lineal feet of 84 in. reinforced concrete pipe. Reinforced concrete pipe for this project was supplied by Joelson Concrete Pipe Company. These five structures were in excess of 13.5 ft. deep and were located in an area with a water table that was approximately one foot below finished grade. Phillips & Jordan and their project manager Jerry Martin were concerned with the installation time and the watertightness when using structures with conventional grouted pipe connections. Atlantic Concrete Products solved this problem by custom designing five structures with the pipes entering on a flat wall surface. These were rectangular, trapezoidal and pentagonal structures designed to accommodate the large 84 in. concrete pipe while keeping the lifting weight minimal. Atlantic Concrete then asked ALOK Products to furnish the largest rubber storm pipe connector to date. The A-LOK STM Connector was designed to accommodate the 84 in. reinforced concrete pipe with a 100 in. outside diameter. This would speed the installation and ensure watertightness. A-LOK met the challenge and was able to design and furnish A-LOK STM mandrels and gaskets to meet the precaster's delivery schedule. The first structure for the 84 in. line was delivered last May, and within 90 minutes the influent and effluent pipes were installed and the structure ready for backfill. Overall, Phillips &Jordan was able to complete the installation in 75 days, 15 days ahead of schedule.
