PART 3 EXECUTION 3.01 EXAMINATION A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions under which waterproofing systems will be applied, with Installer present, for compliance with requirements. Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. 1. Do not proceed with installation until after minimum concrete curing period recommended by waterproofing manufacturer. 2. Verify substrate is visibly dry and free of moisture. Test for capillary moisture by plastic sheet method according to ASTM D4263. B. Inspect concrete and concrete masonry surfaces for: 1. Contamination: Algae, chalkiness, dirt, dust, efflorescence, form oil, fungus, grease, mildew or other foreign substances. 2. Surface absorption and chalkiness. 3. Cracks: Measure crack width and record location of cracks. 4. Damage and deterioration. 5. Moisture content and moisture damage: a.
