PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 INVESTIGATION FOR WATER LEAKS

A. Install ladders and/or scaffolding to provide safe worker access to the upper window area adjacent to the cast iron roof cornice. All work areas to be OSHA compliant for worker fall protection. Estimated vertical height is 28.5 feet from ground level.

B. Conduct water pressure test to identify source of windblown rainwater leakage at the upper edge of glass the windows at the joint with the roof cornice. There is approximately 40 lineal feet of perimeter joint at the window panel and cornice interface.

1. Leaks and stains from wind-blown rain appears to be predominantly located at the 16 vertical wrought iron studs which function as window mullions.

2. NPS staff using hose nozzle tests suggest the water leakage to be at the cornice and window intersection and following the wrought iron studs down to the lower levels.

3. Rust staining and water leakage into the Second Gallery gutters and the Ground Floor ceiling similarly suggest the leakage at the area of the upper window, cornice, and stud connection.

4. See attached drawing 10/A.3 for details on cast iron cornice, wrought iron stud, window glazing, and window cleat connections.

3.2 REPAIRS TO LEAKING AREAS

Contracting Officer. Assume for contract bidding purposes that the areas to be repaired include the entire 48 LF of perimeter cornice and window interface. Assumed repairs to include:

1. Remove upper-window level copper alloy transom cleat.

2. Clean all surfaces and install new caulking in all identified failed areas.

3. Clean cleat and reinstall in bed of sealant.

4. Repaint all surfaces to match existing colors per Painting Section 09 90 00

3.2 PREPARATION

A. Verify that joint sizes and surfaces are free of defects and acceptable for installation of joint sealants.

PORE – 323979 DIVISION 07 92 00 – JOINT SEALANTS Page 5

B. Verify joint dimensions and shapes to ensure they are within the sealant manufacturer’s guidelines. Resolve any variances prior to installation. Do not proceed with sealant installation until the unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

C. Surface Cleaning of Joints: Clean out joints immediately before installing joint sealants to comply with recommendations of joint sealant manufacturer.

D. Completely remove existing sealant from joints taking care not to damage surfaces of adjacent materials.

E. Thoroughly clean the areas that the new sealant will contact using a de-greasing solvent such as toluene or xylene and the two-rag wipe technique. IPA (isopropyl alcohol) is not a de-greasing solvent. The new sealant should have a minimum contact area of 1/4”.

F. Remove all foreign material from joint substrates that could interfere with adhesion of joint sealant, including dust, paints (except for permanent, protective coatings tested and approved for sealant adhesion and compatibility by sealant manufacturer), oil, grease, waterproofing, water repellents, water, surface dirt, and frost.

G. Clean metal, glass, and other nonporous surfaces with chemical cleaners or other means that do not stain, harm substrates, or leave residues capable of interfering with adhesion of joint sealants.

H. Masking Tape: Use masking tape where required to prevent contact of sealant with adjoining surfaces that otherwise would be permanently stained or damaged by such contact or by cleaning methods required to remove sealant smears. Remove tape immediately after tooling without disturbing joint seal.

3.3 JOINT PRIMING

A. Prime joint substrates where indicated or where recommended by joint sealant manufacturer. Apply primer to comply with joint sealant manufacturer's recommendations.

B. Confine primers to areas of joint sealant bond; do not allow spillage or migration onto adjoining surfaces.

C. Allow primer to dry. Do not prime areas that cannot be sealed the same day.

3.4 INSTALLATION OF JOINT SEALANTS

A. General: Comply with joint sealant manufacturer's printed installation instructions applicable to products and applications indicated, except where more stringent requirements apply.

PORE – 323979 DIVISION 07 92 00 – JOINT SEALANTS Page 6

B. Sealant Installation Standard: Comply with recommendations of ASTM C1193 for use of joint sealants as applicable to materials, applications, and conditions indicated.

C. Installation of Sealants: Install sealants by proven techniques that result in sealants directly contacting and fully wetting joint substrates, completely filling recesses provided for each joint configuration, and providing uniform, cross-sectional shapes, and depths relative to joint widths that allow optimum sealant movement capability.

D. Tooling of Non-sag Sealants: Immediately after sealant application and prior to time skinning or curing begins, tool sealants to form smooth, uniform beads of configuration indicated, to eliminate air pockets, and to ensure contact and adhesion of sealant with sides of joint. Remove excess sealants from surfaces adjacent to joint. Do not use tooling agents that discolor sealants or adjacent surfaces or are not approved by sealant manufacturer.

E. Provide concave joint configuration per Figure 5A in ASTM C1193, unless otherwise indicated.

3.6 CLEANING

A. Clean off excess sealants or sealant smears adjacent to joints as work progresses by methods and with cleaning materials approved by manufacturers of joint sealants and of products in which joints occur.

B. Leave finished work in a neat, clean condition with no evidence of spillovers onto adjacent surfaces.

3.7 PROTECTION

A. Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating substances or from damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so that they are without deterioration or damage at time of Substantial Completion.

B. If, despite such protection, damage or deterioration occurs, cut out and remove damaged or deteriorated joint sealants immediately so that and installations with repaired areas are indistinguishable from original work.
