          E.Contractor shall verify concrete surfaces are properly cured, dry, and reasonably smooth and in conformance with ASTM D5295 standard guide for concrete surface preparation. Prepare other surfaces according to respective Manufacturer's published instructions. Use cleaning materials and methods necessary to render an acceptable dust- free surface, including oil-free filtered compressed air or high speed power blowers. Protect adjacent areas from damage with tarpaulins or other durable materials.
 
          F.Temporary protection to installed membrane is required to prevent damage by mechanical gouging, scraping, spilling of oil and solvents or excessive heat.
 
          3.3INSTALLATION
 
          A.Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, approved submittals, and in proper relationship with adjacent construction.
 
          B.Surface Conditioner: Each day, prior to application of waterproofing membrane, apply surface conditioner, as a fine spray at a rate of approximately 1 gallon (3.8 L) per 300 to 600 square feet (27.9 to 37.2 square meters). Allow to dry completely tack free. Do not allow primed surface to be contaminated with construction debris or dust barrier. Re-prime and allow to dry as may be required by job conditions.
 
          C.Application: Units of waterproofing membrane shall be melted in an approved double-jacketed melter under continuous agitation until the material can be drawn free-flowing and lump- free at a temperature of approximately 350 to 400 degrees F (177 to 204 degrees C). Flash foundation footing before application of vertical wall waterproofing. The waterproofing membrane shall be applied at a rate to provide a continuous coating with a minimum thickness of 90 mils (2.3 mm) and averaging 125 mils (3.12 mm) over all wall surfaces.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete application options not required.
 
          D.Horizontal Application:
          1.Hot fluid applied membrane shall be applied in a width exceeding the reinforcement fabric roll width and spread with a non-serrated smooth squeegee. While membrane is hot and tacky, install specified reinforcement, brooming in place from the side of the fabric. Side laps shall be a minimum of 2 inches (51 mm) with lap placement so that the water flows over them and not against them. All laps shall be sealed with hot membrane under lap. In no place shall fabric reinforcement touch fabric reinforcement. End laps shall be 6 inches (152 mm). Carry fabric reinforcement up all vertical wall surfaces a minimum of 8 inches (203 mm). Conduct adhesion and thickness checks every hour with a pull tab and thickness gauge.
          2.After reinforcement fabric has been placed and broomed in, install second layer of membrane, a minimum of 125 mils (3.12 mm) thick, at all points of the deck and walls. Carry slab applications up vertical wall surfaces a minimum of 8 inches (203 mm) completely covering fabric. Do not leave any reinforcement fabric uncovered at the end of day's work or in inclement weather. Complete installation of all plies each day including cap sheet.
          3.Embed protection course into hot membrane simultaneously with the 125 mil (3.12 mm) application. End laps shall be minimum 6 inches (152 mm). End laps and selvage laps shall be fully embedded in hot membrane. Spot touch-up work may be done with hot air guns. Bleed out of hot membrane at all side laps shall be evident.
          4.After protection course is installed, install granular flashing sheet at all exposed base flashing conditions, followed by installation of the termination bar, sealant and counterflashing.
 
          E.Vertical Application:
          1.Precut sheet membrane to desired lengths. Apply membrane vertically in lengths up to 8 feet. Apply the sheet membrane to the hot or still warm waterproofing membrane substrate, removing release paper. Press and roll firmly in place with hand roller as material is placed in position. On higher walls apply membrane in multiple lifts of two or more sections with the upper sheets overlapping the lower sheets by a minimum of 3 inches (76 mm). Roll all membrane with a steel hand roller. Install termination bar at top of lower sheets prior to installation of higher sheets.
          2.At the top terminations, press the membrane firmly to the wall with steel roller and secure with a termination bar. Seal all laps and termination bars with a toweling of hot waterproofing membrane before the end of each work day. Deck membrane shall overlap vertical wall membrane by 12 inches (305 mm).
 
          F.Crack Treatment: At all cracks and construction joints, apply waterproofing membrane with a 6 inch (152 mm) wide strip of flashing over the joint or crack and embed into the warm membrane. Avoid air pockets. Allow assembly to cool. Flashing should be installed before the continuous, unbroken thick film of bitumen and reinforcement felt is applied over the entire application surface and flashing areas in accordance with Part 3 of this Specification.
 
          G.Expansion Joints: Over expansion joints, up to 2 inches (51 mm) in width with a designed total movement of 50 percent or less, neoprene flashing shall be placed over the joint as shown on the drawings and embedded into a 125 mil (3.12 mm) thick coating of waterproofing membrane. The sheet shall be looped into the joint 1-1/2 times the joint width at maximum opening and extend 8 inches onto the substrate on each side of the joint. The sheet shall be covered and the loop coated with waterproofing membrane. Install 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) foam rod and second sheet of neoprene flashing looped over the foam rod. Extend sheet 12 inches (305 mm) onto the wall on each side of the joint. Overcoat flange on each side.
 
          3.4FLASHING
 
          A.Base Flashing Base Ply:
          1.Complete base flashing base ply work before doing flat field application. Carry hot applied membrane and reinforcement up all junctions of horizontal deck and vertical surfaces, all changes of plane, all cold joints and cracks as indicated on the drawings. At all parapets, walls, curbs, penetrations, drains, edges, and other changes of plane, install neoprene flashing with hot fluid applied membrane as shown on the drawings, extending to top of the flashing over the base of membrane coat and polyester reinforcement.
          2.Apply the neoprene flashing tight to all substrates starting the installation on the flat and working the sheet into place in upward direction. Finished sheet shall be completely adhered with no unsupported bridging at the change of plane. Over-coat sheet with another 125 mil (3.12 mm) coat of the fluid applied membrane. Application width of neoprene flashing sheet shall be a minimum 3 inches (76 mm) in any single direction or more as required by field conditions.
 
          B.Base Flashing Cap Ply: Do not install the base flashing cap ply until the flat field of the roof is completed. Precut sheet across the roll to install in 36 inch (914 mm) wide sheets. Embed SBS granular cap sheet membrane into hot fluid applied membrane extending flashings out onto the field of the roof 3 inches (76 mm) minimum and up vertical surfaces 8 inches (203 mm) minimum and 24 inches (610 mm) maximum. Overlap shall be 3 inches (76 mm) minimum. Mechanically fasten top to the substrate with 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick flat bar stock termination bar and mechanically fasten 8 inches (203 mm) on centers. Counterflashing is required.
 
          3.5PROTECTION COURSE
 
          A.Install specified protection course over the membrane, rolling in place with steel hand roller. Provide 3 inch (76 mm) side laps and 6 inch (152 mm) end laps. Seal all laps with mastic or fluid-applied membrane.
 
          3.6DRAINAGE MAT
 
          A.Install specified drain mat over the waterproofing protection course starting drain panels so that the fabric lap is facing the perimeter conditions. Seal the lap to the perimeter. Place adjacent panels so that the cores are butted together. Place successive fabric laps over adjacent panels and secure at 3 inch (76 mm) intervals with adhesive or duct tape. Join roll ends by peeling back the fabric and cutting off 4 inches (102 mm) of the drain core. Place drain panel ends so that the cores are butted together and then glue or tape the 4 inch (102 mm) fabric overlap 3 inches (76 mm) on centers.
 
          B.On vertical applications measure full height, add 4 feet (1219 mm), and cut from roll. At the top of the wall, glue 2 feet (610 mm) of fabric on the flat deck. Gently drape the balance of the mat down the wall allowing an extra 2 feet (610 mm) to fall over the drain at the bottom. Backfill, by hand, as soon as possible.
 
          3.7INSULATION AND BALLAST
 
          A.Insulation: Ensure that membrane, flashing and other associated work is completed and tested. Upon acceptance of the waterproofing application, install extruded polystyrene insulation directly on the protection course with open channel sides down in accordance with manufacturer's requirements and recommendations.
          1.Stagger end joints.
          2.Tightly abut all boards.
          3.The maximum acceptable opening between boards is 1/4 inch (6.4 mm).
          4.Provide temporary ballast and filter fabric as required to prevent wind damage.
          5.In multiple layer applications, all joints shall be staggered.
 
          B.Pavers: Specified paver units shall be set on specified pedestals in areas indicated to line and grade as shown, with uniform joint width.
          1.Adjust pedestal elements so that precast paver has bearing on all four corners.
          2.Where cutting is required, it shall be done with a high-speed masonry saw producing clean sharp edges.
          3.Precast paver units shall fit to within 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) of all projections and walls or as shown on drawings.
          4.Protect units in place from soiling or damage during the construction process.
          5.Replace any units damaged prior to Owner acceptance.
          6.Provide shims as required to align paver surface with existing elements and other pavers.
 
          C.Stone Ballast: Install in accordance with insulation manufacturer requirements.
 
          3.8FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete testing options not required.
 
          A.Flood Test: Each contiguous area shall be water tested with 2 inches (51 mm) of standing water for a 48 hour period.
          1.Provide for overflow in the event of rain.
          2.Flood tests shall be witnessed and approved by Architect and Manufacturer.
          3.An electric field vector mapping may be used in lieu of the flood test.
 
          B.Electric Field Vector Mapping (EFVM):
          1.After installation of the waterproofing membrane and protection board and prior to the placement of the remaining system components or overburden. An EFVM is required, conducted by a surveyor approved by the Architect and waterproofing manufacturer.
          2.The EFVM wires shall remain in place with lead wires located in an area accessible after placement of the overburden and approved by the Owner and Architect.
          3.A detailed CAD drawing and report of the EFVM survey shall be furnished to the Owner, Manufacturer, and Architect prior to proceeding with the placement of the remaining system components or overburden.
 
          C.Adhesion Tests and Thickness Tests shall be monitored by Applicator every hour throughout the application process.
 
          D.Test Cuts shall be made at locations requested by Architect or Manufacturer:
          1.Remove one 12 x 12 inch (305 x 305 mm) un-surfaced cut per 100 squares of waterproofing area.
          2.Follow field audit criteria outlined by ASTM D3617 practice.
          3.Laboratory results shall be submitted by the laboratory directly to the Architect.
