Program-NA1A - KSA.

2.0 Scope

This method statement covers the repair of non-structural types of concrete defects. The
defects like honey combing, blow holes, peeling, blistering, tie rod holes etc. which are
not affecting the strength of structure can be rectified as per this statement. For structural
type of repairs, specific method statement and material to be adapted with approval

4.0 Procedure

4.1 Identify the Repair

After the removal of formwork, NSH QC personnel and PID SAUDI ARAMCO
shall thoroughly check whether any voids, honey combs, blistering, air holes, hair
line cracks etc. have appeared on the concrete surface. If found any, the repair

4.2 Preparation & Repair of Concrete

Any repair should be done only after the curing period, PMT approval and

a) The air holes, honey combs or the defects which are less than 10mm
depth (Vertically or Horizontally) can be repaired with Approved Repair
Material as per the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Remove the laitance, loose materials using appropriate tools and make
the surface rough & sound concrete without any cavity, clean the
roughened area with water and soak the surface thoroughly. Then apply
an approved bonding agent if recommended by the manufacturer and
apply Approved Repair Material with trowel/ scrapper and cure it for
required time as per manufacturer’s recommendation.

b) If the defective surface in vertical faces is more than 10mm and below
50mm Approved Repair Material shall be used as per manufacturer’s
recommendation

c) The repair thickness more than 50mm and up to 75mm vertically shall be
repaired with Approved Repair Material as per manufacturers specification/
recommendation.

For repairing defective surface more than 10mm, all loose concrete should
be removed carefully till a non-porous sound concrete surface is obtained.
To perform this hilti hammer with flat chisel or brush hammer can be used.
Also care should be taken to avoid damage to surrounding concrete
surfaces and rebar.

d) If the repair thickness is beyond the reinforcement, special attention to be

given for the repair and it should be informed to the competent authority to
decide the type of repairing method to be obtained.

e) Tie rod holes will be chipped off to 75mm thickness and PVC sleeves
should remove to a depth of 75mm and use backup road before applying
Approved Repair Material extra for sealing tie rod holes.

Special care should be taken for repairing the defect where reinforcement
is exposed. It should also be cared to avoid damaging the coating of rebar,
if the coating is damaged it should be rectified before applying mortar.
