Operations and Maintenance Instructions The following operations and maintenance instructions apply to all GFRC concrete features installed by Integrated Design Solutions, LLC. Manufacturers Point of Contact: Integrated Design Solutions, LLC DBA ID Sculpture info@idsculpture.com (970) 641 1747 Annual Inspections: An inspection should be conducted annually that includes: 1. A detailed examination of all concrete surfaces. Hairline cracks will typically manifest throughout the concrete shell, particularly concentrated at stress points. This fine cracking is a normal effect of the curing and weathering process and does not represent a manufacturing flaw, nor do they compromise the structural integrity of the concrete shell in any way. If new cracks develop that are larger than 1/8” in width over a span greater than three inches, please contact IDS. 2. During the inspection, nooks and crannies throughout the contour of the concrete surface should be checked for debris. 3. In areas where engineered wood fiber is the primary landing surface, the depth should be checked to insure a minimum depth of 12 inches. 4. Check to insure that all manufacturer identification plaques and warning/caution signs are intact and secure. 5. Inspect all rope components for fraying, signs of fraying or chafe. Check the tightness of threaded connections at rope end fittings. Loctite has been applied to all threaded connections, should a threaded connection become loose, application of Loctite or similar is recommended. Modular Handholds Some IDS sculptures have modular handholds. Please refer to “Course Setting 101” for instructions on removing and repositioning handholds. On new sculptures, handholds may loosen due to expansion and contraction and “settling” of the hold on the sculpture. Handholds should be inspected on a weekly basis and tightened as necessary. Handholds should remain tight after 3-4 weeks of weekly inspection and tightening. In the unlikely event that your handholds continue to loosen after 4 inspections, please contact IDS. Annual Cleaning IDS sculptures may be cleaned on an as needed basis. The concrete shell can be effectively cleaned with a pressure washer. When using a pressure washer, do not exceed 1800psi and take care to keep the tip at least 6” from the surface of the sculpture. In lieu of a pressure washer, smaller areas of the simulated rock surface can be washed by hand using a spray bottle, nylon brush and rag. This method is particularly effective in removing isolated areas of chalk, grime and marks left by the rubber soles of shoes. GFRC - Cleaning Methods 1. For smaller surface areas, a scrub brush and light cleaning detergent mixed with water is the best approach. A ZEP exterior siding cleaner can be heavily diluted and scrubbed on and off with the brush. 2. For larger areas, you can use a pressure washer. The pressure washer should be no greater than an 1800 PSI washer. Use a 25 to 40-degree wide nozzle to prevent surface damage of the topical paints on the theme finishes. Hold the nozzle a minimum of 6” away from the surface. Clean a small, hidden test area before starting the project to ensure the pressure washer will not damage the surface. Pressure washers generate very high pressure, so it's essential to take safety precautions and follow all the manufactures instructions when using them: • Use both hands when holding the spray nozzle. • Don't use pressure washers while standing on a ladder. • Wear protective eyewear at all times. • Never point the nozzle at anyone. 3. An alternative to using a pressure washer is to use a home-washing kit that attaches to the garden hose. The kits aren't as quick or as effective as pressure washers but are easier to use and are available at most local hardware stores. GFRC - Cleaning 1. Cover or remove anything you don't want wet or washed from the area that is to be cleaned. 2. Check the theme finishes for trouble spots that are covered in mildew, mold or moss. To determine whether a trouble area is affected by mildew, apply a small amount of diluted household bleach to the area. If it clears up, the problem is mildew. Pressure washers usually don't remove mildew, so you'll need to clean those areas by hand. Scrub off the mildew using a solution of 9 parts water and 1 part bleach. 3. If using a power washer with a soap feed, you may use a mild solution of water and detergent, or you may also use a ZEP cleaner or alternative that is specifically for power washers, following the instructions for that specific cleaner. 4. If there is indication of efflorescence (white streaks and or spots) on the GFRC surface, this can be cleaned with a 10% muriatic acid solution. Take care to rinse area immediately after using muriatic acid to avoid discoloration 5. Remember, always perform cleaning on test area and inspect for damage before proceeding. 6. Begin spraying the surface, holding the nozzle at a 45-degree angle. Work from the bottom up, and move across the surface from side to side at a steady pace, maintaining the 6” to 2’ distance between the surface and the nozzle head. 7. Rinse with clean water from the top down to prevent streaks. Graffiti Protection and Cleaning All concrete surfaces have been treated with a surface applied prophylactic to reduce the damage caused by, and ease the removal of graffiti. All chemical applications have been approved safe for public domain applications. IDS uses Blokguard S by Prosoco (www.prosoco.com). Please refer to manufacturers specifications for graffiti removal. Paint Repair IDS maintains a record of the combination of stains and paints that comprise the custom color pallet for each installation. In the event that a paint repair is desired or required, please contact IDS for either a paint-repair kit (cost dependent upon number of colors required) or a list of specific stains that can be used to repair the area independently. All stains used by IDS are playground safe Behr Siliconized Acrylic Solid Color Concrete stains that can be procured at Home Depot retail locations. When contacting IDS with a request for a paint-repair kit or color pallet, please be sure to provide an image of the area in question.

Born in the Colorado Rockies, we’ve seen our sculptures weather snow, ice, and the intense sun found at high elevations. We stand behind their durability and the innovative materials and methods we use to create them. Composition ID Sculpture uses high performance composite technology to construct our products. It makes them rich in textural detail, lightweight yet durable, and architecturally accurate so you can plan your project down to the smallest detail. We can even design our products to interface with existing site features, like retaining walls or landscape features. Our typical structures use a digitally fabricated GeoFoam armature reinforced with steel and then encapsulated with a specially formulated shell of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC). Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), is a cementitious, composite material widely used in a variety of exterior architectural and structural applications. ID Sculpture’s proprietary concrete mix is specifically designed for durability and sculptural detail. Color is created with integral concrete pigments and playground safe, siliconized acrylic stain. Finishes are hand- applied and can be customized to designer’s specifications. All ID Sculpture products are prefinished with a protective anti-graffiti sealant. Safety As professionals, parents, and climbers in the playground and climbing wall industries, we take safety seriously. All of our playground features conform to ASTM F1487 “Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Playground Equipment for Public Use”. Certified Playground Safety Inspectors (CPSI) review every new product and custom project during both design and fabrication to ensure that products are safe and compliant. During design, our 3D modeling and visualization technology allows us to analyze components with virtual probes and carefully plan layouts before ever building them. During fabrication, CPSI’s inspect sculptures with typical ASTM testing devices and review for adherence to the project and ASTM specifications. ID Sculpture is a participant in the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) Playground Equipment Certification Program and has been inspected and qualified to perform self-certification of ID Sculpture products. To verify program enrollment status and a complete list of currently certified equipment, please visit www.IPEMA.org. But our commitment to safety goes beyond regulations. We draw on our experiences as outdoor people to understand the risks inherent in outdoor play and climbing and mitigate them through hazard analysis, carefully sculpts climbing routes and attention to intended users, to create play value that is both challenging and safe. ID Sculpture is a member of the: Climbing Wall Association (CWA) National Recreation and Park Association International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) Durability Our proprietary concrete was developed after years of experience building for the harshest of climates—our home in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
