Steps
Identify the required concrete surface profile (CSP) for the specific repair material/coating being applied, using ICRI 310.2R's CSP 1 (nearly flat) through CSP 10 (very rough, amplitude greater than 1/4 in.) classification system.
Reference ICRI Guideline 310.2R ('Selecting and Specifying Concrete Surface Preparation for Sealers, Coatings, Polymer Overlays, and Concrete Repair,' current edition 310.2R-2013) to match the surface preparation method (shot blasting, scarifying, scabbling, etc.) to the coating or overlay manufacturer's substrate requirements — do not cite the older CSI-MasterFormat-style '03732' designation, which is retired and no longer how ICRI catalogs or sells the document.
Where corrosion mitigation is part of the repair scope, reference ICRI Technical Guideline No. 510.1 ('Guide for Electrochemical Techniques to Mitigate the Corrosion of Steel for Reinforced Concrete Structures') to evaluate applicable options (e.g., cathodic protection).
Have the condition survey (chain-drag/sounding, half-cell potential, chloride sampling) drive the repair-area boundaries before specifying saw-cut perimeters for individual patch areas.
Coordinate the ICRI-based repair scope with the structural engineer's ACI 562 repair design so material selection and surface prep requirements are consistent with the structural repair intent.
Known gotchas
ICRI publishes numbered technical guidelines that are periodically renumbered/updated — confirm the current guideline number and revision on icri.org rather than citing from memory or an older repair spec. The CSP classification currently runs 1 through 10 (CSP 10 was added to reflect a more aggressive profile used in concrete repair); older references citing only CSP 1-9 are outdated.
CSP selection is coating/material-specific — using a generic CSP target without checking the specific repair material manufacturer's data sheet can cause bond failures.
