SealBoss Injection Job Checklist

Concrete Injection Job Checklist

Confirm the material, pump, packers, site conditions, documentation, cleanup plan, and field records before injection begins.

This planning checklist connects products, equipment, and method without treating epoxy, polyurethane, and acrylate injection as one universal procedure.

Use This as a Readiness Checklist

Use this page to plan mobilization, confirm field readiness, organize quality-control observations, and document the work. It does not replace the current product data sheet, SDS, application guideline, equipment manual, project specification, or direction from a qualified technical representative or design professional.

Quick Guide: Crack Injection Procedure

Crack injection requires careful preparation, the correct material and equipment, and close observation throughout the work. Use this guide as a general sequence alongside the job checklist. The exact procedure depends on the injection material, crack condition, structure, equipment, and approved application method.

1. Prepare Equipment and Protective Gear

Gather the required injection material, pump, hoses, applicator, packers or ports, couplers, tools, cleaning materials, and spare components. Confirm personal protective equipment and jobsite safety requirements from the current SDS, project safety documents, and site rules.

2. Inspect and Document the Injection Area

Examine the crack, joint, or leak area before work begins. Record visible conditions, moisture or active water, access limitations, possible material exits, and adjacent areas that may require protection.

3. Prepare the Crack and Surrounding Surface

Remove loose material, dust, debris, coatings, or contaminants as required by the approved procedure. Preparation methods vary by injection system and substrate condition.

4. Install Packers or Ports

Select and install the specified mechanical packers or surface-mounted ports. Packer type, drilling angle, depth, and spacing must follow the approved application method and actual project conditions.

5. Prepare the Injection Material

Confirm the exact product and component system. Follow the current product data sheet and application instructions for conditioning, mixing, proportioning, accelerator use, and equipment setup. Do not substitute components or alter ratios without technical authorization.

6. Apply a Surface Seal When Required

Some injection methods—particularly certain epoxy procedures—may require the exposed crack surface to be sealed between ports. Use the specified material and allow it to develop the required condition before injection.

7. Begin the Injection

Start at the location identified in the approved injection sequence. Connect the pump to the first packer or port and proceed according to the product, equipment, and application instructions. The correct sequence may vary with crack orientation, water condition, structure, and injection objective.

8. Monitor the Procedure

Observe material flow, pressure response, packer or port stability, returns at adjacent locations, and any unintended leakage or discharge. Stop and request technical review when conditions differ materially from the approved plan.

9. Allow the Material to React or Cure

Follow the current product documentation for reaction, cure, hold, or waiting requirements. These periods vary significantly among epoxy, polyurethane, and acrylate systems.

10. Remove or Finish Packers and Ports

Remove, cut back, or leave packers and ports in place as directed by the approved procedure. Patch or finish the injection locations according to the project requirements.

11. Clean Equipment and Manage Waste

Thorough equipment cleaning is essential. Follow the current SealBoss cleaning instructions for the specific material and equipment system, and handle or dispose of all waste and cleaning materials in accordance with the SDS, site requirements, and applicable regulations.

12. Complete the Final Inspection

Document the completed work, material use, injection observations, and any remaining conditions. Acceptance should be based on the project specification and the criteria established by the responsible contractor, technical representative, or design professional.

Important: This quick guide is a general planning reference. Always follow the current SealBoss product data sheet, SDS, application guideline, equipment manual, and project-specific requirements for the exact material and system being used.

Stop before starting: Product and method selection must be based on the repair objective and actual project conditions.

Material

Confirm the exact product variation, components, condition, current documents, and approved cleaning materials.

Equipment

Match the pump, hose, applicator, packers or ports, couplers, spares, and power requirements to the system.

Method

Use the approved preparation, installation, monitoring, shutdown, and field-record procedure for the application.
