PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Inspect substrate surface to assure that no bond breaker materials contaminate the surface to which the sealant is to adhere and to ensure that unsound substrates are repaired. Installation of sealant shall be evidence of acceptance of the substrate.

B. Verify joint dimensions prior to installation of the sealant to ensure that all dimensions are within tolerance established in the manufacturer's literature. Unacceptable variations shall be called to the Contracting Officers attention for resolution prior to installing any material.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. Clean joint surfaces immediately before installation of sealant or caulking compound. Remove dirt, insecure coatings, moisture and other substances which could interfere with bond of sealant or caulking compound. Etch concrete and masonry joint surfaces as recommended by sealant manufacturer.

B. Prime or seal joint surfaces where indicated, and where not indicated if recommended by sealant manufacturer, prior to installation of any backer rod or bond breaker tape. Do not allow primer/sealer to spill or migrate onto adjoining surfaces.

3.3 INSTALLATION

A. General: Comply with manufacturer's printed instructions, except where more stringent requirements are shown or specified, and except where manufacturer's technical representative directs otherwise.

B. Set joint filler units full depth of joint or position in joint to coordinate with other work, including installation of backer rods and sealants. Do not leave voids or gaps between ends of joint filler units.

C. Install sealant backer rod for liquid elastomeric sealants, except where shown to be omitted or recommended to be omitted by sealant manufacturer for application indicated in which case a bond breaker tape shall be used to prevent 3 sided adhesion. Apply backer rod using blunt or rounded tools which will ensure a uniform depth without puncturing the material. Use a rod oversized a minimum of 33% for closed cell and 50% for open cell, unless otherwise required by the manufacturer.

D. Employ only proven installation techniques, which will ensure that sealants are deposited in uniform, continuous ribbons without gaps or air pockets, with complete "wetting" of joint bond surfaces equally on opposite sides. Except as otherwise indicated, fill sealant rabbet to a slightly concave surface, slightly below adjoining surfaces, with a smooth, even finish.

E. Install sealant to depths as shown or, if not shown, as recommended by sealant manufacturer but within the following general limitations, measured at center (thin) section of bead.

1. For joints sealed with non-elastomeric sealants, fill joints to a depth in range of 75% to 125% of joint width.

F. Spillage: Do not allow sealants or compounds to overflow or spill onto adjoining surfaces or to migrate into voids of adjoining surfaces. Clean adjoining surfaces by whatever means may be necessary to eliminate evidence of spillage.

G. Curing: Cure sealants and caulking compounds in compliance with manufacturer's instructions and recommendations to obtain high early bond strength, internal cohesive strength and surface durability.
