About this file

This document is a comprehensive specification for the P1360 Joint Maritime Facility construction project in Newfoundland, Canada. It contains detailed technical specifications for materials, products, and execution requirements across multiple construction divisions, including concrete work, precast architectural concrete, structural steel, steel decks, cold-formed metal framing, miscellaneous metal fabrications, metal ladders, rough carpentry, plastic-laminate cabinets, solid surfacing, thermal and moisture protection, building air barriers, fabricated wall panels, roofing, flashing, doors, glazing, gypsum board, tile work, acoustical ceilings, flooring systems, and paint/coatings. The specifications reference numerous ASTM, CSA, AWS, ACI, and other industry standards and establish quality assurance requirements including manufacturer qualifications, certifications, testing protocols, and field quality control procedures. Key performance requirements include structural design compliance per applicable codes (CSA, ASCE, AISC standards), fire resistance ratings, air infiltration limits, water penetration resistance, thermal performance specifications, and wind load resistance. The document mandates that materials meet sustainability criteria including recycled content minimums, indoor air quality certifications (UL Greenguard, SCS Indoor Advantage), and sustainably harvested wood certifications. Submittals required include shop drawings, product data, samples, design calculations, test reports, and manufacturer certifications, with government approval required for items designated with "G" classifications. The project specifies a 20-year no-dollar-limit warranty for major systems including roofing membranes and metal wall panels, with manufacturers responsible for repairs due to defective materials or workmanship within 72 hours of notification. All work must comply with NAVFAC design standards, Canadian building codes (NBC-2020), and provincial requirements for the Newfoundland and Labrador location.

Acceptable defective area will be limited to holes left by rods and other temporary inserts, and to honeycomb or rock pockets of 6 mm diameter maximum. Remove fins and other projections on the surfaces.

2.4.9.2 Exposed-to-View Surfaces

The combined area of acceptable defective areas must not exceed 0.2 percent of the exposed-to-view surface area and will be limited to holes of 6 mm diameter maximum.

2.4.10 Stripping

Do not remove precast concrete units from forms until units develop

SECTION 03 45 00 Page 19 sufficient strength to safely strip the formwork and to remove the precast concrete units from the forms to prevent damage to the units from overstress or chipping.

2.4.11 Built-In Anchorage Devices

Accurately position and securely anchor all anchorage devices. Openings in anchorage devices must be filled temporarily to prevent entry of concrete.

2.4.12 Lifting Devices

Lifting devices must be provided, and designed for a safety factor of 4, which includes 100 percent impact. Do not use brittle material.

2.4.13 Finishing for Formed Surfaces

Upon removal of forms, repair and patch defective areas. Where the finished surface will be exposed to view, the combined area of defective areas must not exceed 0.2 percent of the surface and will be limited to honeycomb or rock pockets not deep enough to expose the reinforcement.

Where the finished surface will be concealed by other construction, defective areas are limited to holes left by the rods and other temporary inserts and honeycomb or rock pockets not deep enough to expose the reinforcement. Defective areas must be cut out to solid concrete, cleaned, and patched with grout. Where concrete surface will be exposed to view, the patches, when dry, must be indistinguishable from the surrounding surfaces.

Exposed-aggregate finish must match the finish of the approved sample.

Aggregates in exposed-to-view surfaces will be exposed as soon after concrete placing as practical by power sanders, wire brushes, or other acceptable methods.
