SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR PARKING STRUCTURES AND BRIDGES

For structures with MOVEMENT, the following provisions have been provided. When executed, this document becomes an addendum to the IMX Warranty Document and all general terms of that document apply to this new document.

INTENT: Realizing that structures under load will have movement that may be beyond the normal scope of the Xypex Chemistry to repair hairline cracks, specific identified cracks will be repaired by IMX Technologies or its assigned certified applicators.

The warranty paperwork needs to be in place and processed with full payment for product along with validation by payment of 10 cents S.F. prior to submittal for reimbursement.

INSPECTION: At a minimum of 30 days after final Concrete Placement, project will be inspected for cracks in Concrete. This inspection shall be done by IMX Technologies together with Owners Representative or Project Manager and may include the Design Engineer or Architect. The purpose of this inspection will be to:
1. Identify cracks that may cause leakage.
2. Note deficiencies including breeches of warranty and A.C.I. guidelines.
3. Provide a remedy to repair those cracks.

1.V-Route and Caulk up to 100 lineal feet (see 1. above) or
2. Up to 7 lineal feet of moving crack repair (see 2. above). Each additional 100 Cubic Yards qualifies for 50 L.F. Type 1 or 3.5 L.F. Type 2 repair.

Notification to tenants, flagging and traffic control is not included as part of these provisions. If additional repairs are required they shall be done at a rate of $2.50 L.F. for Type 1 and $35.00 L.F. for Type 2.
