PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 EXAMINATION OF SURFACES:

A. Contractor shall examine the substrate, roof deck, and related surfaces and verify that there are no conditions such as inadequate anchorage, foreign materials, moisture, ridges, or other conditions, which would prevent the satisfactory installation of the roofing system.

B. Correct or complete any condition requiring correction or completion prior to the installation of the roofing system. Notify COR in writing of unacceptable conditions.

A. Do not stockpile debris on roof surface.

B. Promptly remove debris each day. Use hoist or chute to transfer debris from roof surface to disposal container.

03.20.21 PROTECTED MEMBRANE ROOFING 07525 - 5

C. Cleaning:

1. Verify that debris has been completely removed.

2. Broom clean concrete deck immediately prior to roofing application.

3.03 MEMBRANE APPLICATION:

A. Prior to roof membrane installation, seal all openings, projections, and penetrations in the substrate to prevent bitumen migration into the building. Correct damage to the building or interior components caused by bitumen migration at Contractor’s own expense.

B. Membrane Installation-General:

1. Apply roofing in accordance with roofing system manufacturer's instructions and the following requirements. Application of roofing shall immediately follow application of base sheet as a continuous operation.

2. Aesthetic Considerations: The overall appearance of the finished roof application is a standard requirement for this project. Make necessary preparations, utilize recommended application techniques, apply specified materials, and exercise care to ensure a finished application.

3. Form cementitious cants on top of substrate at walls and curbs prior to application of roofing. Mix and install cementitious material in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Install cants to form transition from horizontal to vertical substrates and continuous at corners.

4. Priming: Prime concrete, and masonry surfaces, top and bottom of metal substrates, flanges, and appurtenances with a uniform coating of asphalt primer, at a nominal rate of 0.41 l/m2 (one gallon per 100 square feet).

5. Roofing Application: Lay all layers of roofing free of wrinkles, creases, or fishmouths. Exert sufficient pressure on the roll during application to ensure prevention of air pockets.

6. Lay layers of roofing perpendicular or parallel to the slope of the deck as recommended by manufacturer.

C. Membrane Base Ply Application:

1. Allow sheets to relax prior to application. Maximum length of sheet shall be 5 meters (15 feet).

2. Beginning at the low point of the roof, only covering half the drain, fully adhere the modified bitumen sheet to the substrate. Maintain a steady torching technique to ensure that the entire bottom surface of the sheet achieves the proper temperature for adhesion. Keep the roll in close proximity to the torch technician. Exert sufficient pressure on roll during application.

3. Apply heat evenly across the face and full width of the roll while unrolling roll uniformly with an even downward pressure. Apply torch flame to roll until the bitumen back coating reaches the design application temperature, resulting in melting of the burn-off film, a glossy appearance of the back coating, and a 6mm (1/4-inch) to 13mm (1/2-inch) bitumen flow from edge of sheet.

4. Provide a minimum of 75mm (3-inch) side laps and 150mm (6-inch) end laps.

Stagger end laps of adjacent sheets of membrane base ply a minimum of 1m (3 feet). Extend field sheet of membrane base ply to top edge of cant.

5. Align side lap of base ply over mid-point or center of roof drain.

6. Complete membrane base ply application over respective roof area prior to application of membrane top ply. Apply additional ply of membrane base ply in low areas or areas that may be subjected to ponding water.

03.20.21 PROTECTED MEMBRANE ROOFING 07525 - 6

7. Apply a patch over areas of membrane with areas of physical damage or other defects. Patch shall be the full width of membrane base ply and extend a minimum of 50mm (2-inches) beyond the defect in each direction.

8. Check lap seams and seal unbonded or discontinuous seams using a heated steel trowel.

D. Metal Flange Flashing (Pitch Pans, Metal Edge, Pipe Boxes, Vent Stacks, etc.):

1. Prime top and bottom of metal flanges and components completely and allow to dry prior to installation.

2. After membrane base ply has been applied, install metal flange flashings. Strip-in flange/metal with strips of base flashing (base ply) extending a minimum of 100mm (4-inches) beyond edge of flange/metal.

E. Base Flashing Application - Base Ply:

1. Install and complete application of base ply of flashing each day the base ply of membrane is installed.

2. Install first ply of base flashing extending horizontally 100mm (4-inches) beyond edge of cant or flange and vertically 100mm (4-inches), minimum above the top of the cant.

3. Length of base flashings shall be maximum 2m (6-feet). Lap ends of base flashings 100mm (4-inches), minimum. Seal top edge of base flashing on a daily basis with a continuous troweling of elastomeric roof cement.

4. Check lap seams and seal unbonded or discontinuous seams using a heated steel trowel.

F. Membrane Application - Top Ply:

1. Unroll sheet and cut into 5m (15-feet) lengths. Lay cut sections of sheet down to allow sheet to relax prior to application.
