PART 3    EXECUTION
3.1	EXAMINATION
A.	Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared and related work penetrating the plane of the roof is completed. 
1.	Carefully inspect installed work of other trades and verify that such work is complete to the point where work of this section may properly commence. 
2.	Notify the Architect in writing of the conditions detrimental to the proper and timely completion of work.
B.	Verify the Following:
1.	Substrates, membranes, and protection boards are ready for installation of pedestal and paver system.
2.	The roof deck will sustain the weight of the pedestal paver system.
3.	Deck dimensions and elevations and pedestal heights before commencing work.
3.2	PREPARATION
A.	Clean and prepare deck free of all debris in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
B.	Install membrane protection layer under all pedestals if specified by roofing membrane manufacture.
C.	Establish accurate lines, levels, and pattern.
3.3	INSTALLATION
A.	Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, approved submittals, and in proper relationship with adjacent construction.
1.	Determine starting point and layout the paver and pedestal grid layout determining where full and cut pavers will be installed.
2.	Mark perpendicular guidelines on substrate surface to ensure square layout.
3.	Install initial pavers along guidelines forming a "T" pattern.
4.	Install Pavers tightly butted into pedestals. Form even joint width determined by pedestal spacer tabs.
5.	Checks shall be made constantly for correct elevation and spacing of the installed pavers using laser level, automatic leveler, or mason's line.
6.	Slight irregularities in paver thickness and/or deck heights can be compensated for by using one or more regulation shims.
7.	Any section of paver, pedestal or protection course which is not restrained by an abutting wall or parapet must be "boxed in" by some field installed restraint.
B.	CLEANING AND PROTECTION
C.	Clean products in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. 
D.	Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
3.4	ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CARE
A.	Remove and replace pavers, which are loose, chipped, broken, stained or otherwise damaged. Make sure edge restraints stay intact and are structurally sound.
B.	Remove stains and soiling from exposed paver surfaces. Wash and scrub clean.
1.	Pressure Washers: May be used to lightly clean the surface.
2.	Always test on an inconspicuous location before using any cleaning products or pressure washer to ensure no damage or discoloration will occur.
C.	Ipe wood is a naturally occurring wood product and behaves as a natural product.
1.	Checking, cupping, splitting, shrinking, warping and discoloration can occur.
2.	Seal cut ends with a wax sealant immediately after cutting to minimize these natural tendencies.
3.	Apply a hard wood oil as needed to seal visible surfaces in order to minimize discoloration and protect the pavers.
