ELOT TS 1501-14-01-09-01 Surface cleaning of exposed steel reinforcement bars for their integration in post-cast concrete.

ELOT TS 1501-14-01-09-01 Surface cleaning of exposed steel reinforcement bars for their integration in post-cast concrete.
The purpose of this Technical Specification is to lay down the requirements for cleaning the surface of steel reinforcement or steel concrete-conditioned cross-sections that have been revealed after local drilling of the concrete in order to remove:
• Residues of hardened concrete
• Corrosion products (rust, descaling, etc.)
• Pollutants from residues of petroleum products (in refineries, boiler rooms and industrial installations)
• Anti-corrosion or colouring residues.
Cleaning is necessary to ensure adhesion of the reinforcement and any other existing steel elements with the concrete to be paved in order to repair damage, strengthen or continue the construction of reinforced concrete.
