11.1 DESCRIPTION

The work of this section covers the production and application of shotcrete to the final rock faces of all walls and slopes of excavations for plant structures as required in Section 4.2 of Specification 2323-SS-6, Excavation For Plant Structures.

The prime purpose of the shotcrete coating is to protect rock surfaces exposed to the atmosphere against weathering and to prevent the slaking of exposed claystone seams.

a.

Shoterete shall be applied by the wet-mix method, incorporating an approved accelerator for quick set.

b.

The work shall include trial mixes, preconstruction field tests, and t ? sting during construction.

11.2 HEALTH HAZARD The contractor is reminded that alkali hydroxides and other chemicals contained in shoterete admixtures are moderately toxic and can cause skin and respiratory irritation unless adequate safety measures are undertaken.

When applying shotcrete, nozzlemen and helpers should wear appropriate hoods supplied with filtered air free of toxic or objectionable material.

Gloves and necessary protective clothing should be worn to protect against dermatitis.

The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent any health hazards in the removal and disposal of flow of water through the shoterete area and of waste rebound material.
