o. Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (“PUF”), coating and gravel.

p. Primer and elastomeric/waterproofing coating.

1.4.5 Repairs to "PUF" (Sprayed-in Place Polyurethane Foam) over concrete, metal or wood roof:

a. Remove debris, vegetation, and wash roof surfaces, including gutters and downspouts, with a hydro-pressure machine with a maximum 2,000-psi water pressure.

b. Inspect roof and mark appropriately all blisters, cracks and pinholes.

c. Minor Repairs: The defects in this category are small cuts, fractures, punctures, penetrations, cracks, gouges, and scuffs limited to 1 to 1-1/2-inches in width or less. Length may be variable and does not impose a restriction for this type of repair. Depth may be variable. Isolated defects in the coating such as cracking, flaking, spalling, and blisters. The procedure for repairs is as follows:

(1) Inspect the area to be repaired for water, dirt or contamination. Dry off the area if wet and/or clean away granules (if any) dirt or contamination over and around the area to be repaired.

B9-L-19372

(2) Using a serrated or razor knife, trim exposed foam in any fracture to obtain a clean dry foam surface to the depth of penetration. Typically, 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch slices are adequate to clean up the penetration.

(3) Fill the prepared area with caulk sealant that is compatible with the coating system, and trowel smooth over the filled area extending onto the surrounding surface.

(4) If applicable, granules can be sprinkled onto the wet caulked surface and patted lightly to obtain embedment. If coating is to be applied, the caulk sealant must be permitted to set of cure sufficiently to allow brush application of coating for completion of repair.

(5) If only coating is required, a sufficiently large area should be dried and/or cleaned off to permit trying-I of new coating application to existing coating in surrounding area. It is recommended that at least two separate brush coats of the proper coating to applied, allowing sufficient curing or drying time between coats.

Minimum DFT of the new coating should be 30 mils.

d. Moderate Repairs: Occasionally an inspection could reveal isolated area of poor quality foam, wet foam, foam blisters, foam delamination, or mechanically damaged areas that are two large, and that cannot be corrected by caulking or re-coating. Such areas require removal and replacement of foam. If these areas are limited and not larger than about 2 square feet in size, they can be repaired fairly easily without the use of spray foam or coating equipment.

e. Foam replacement can be made by pouring foam with the proper density, (that can be hand mixed). Canned froth foam, and in limited instances rigid PUF board stock. The coating replacement can be accomplished by use of either brush or roller. The procedure for repairs is as follows:

(1) Using a serrated or razor knife cut away distressed foam and coated area back to the point where foam is clean, dry and/or firmly adhered to a minimum depth of 1/2-inch.

(2) Bevel cut the foam edge at approximately a 45-degree angle around the perimeter of the opening to the depth of the penetration.

(3) Clean the substrate surface in the opening and brush dirt, dust and/or other debris from around the opening.

(4) Gradually introduce foaming mixture into the prepared area by pouring materials onto the beveled cut foam edge in order to wet out the cut surface as completely as possible, then distribute remaining material evenly over the bottom of the opening.

B9-L-19372

(5) Permit the foam to rise and set, so that the opening is completely filled. Allow in-place foam to cure for a minimum of 1/2-hour.

Larger repairs may require slightly long to dissipate heat on the foam and for the foam to become firm enough for cutting and trimming.

(6) Once foam in the filled void is cured or firm, trim away excess foam with a serrated knife or hand saw to nominal level of adjacent foam surface, then grinds rasp or sand smooth.

(7) Remove all foam dust and/or bits of foam debris from repair area and after permitting the foam to cure for, at least, one hour, proceed with new coating application and addition of coatings and granules if required.

(8) When work is done over the cut and sanded surfaces of foam as described on this procedure, at least three brush or rolled coats of new coating be applied to obtain 35 to 40 mils DFT. It is especially important that the first coat be worked thoroughly into the cut and open cells of the foam surface to compensate for the fact that no skin exists, as is the case with a normally applied spray foam.

(9) Severe Repairs: Remove existing and install new PUF roofing system and all related drainage systems, flashings, and any other related roofing component as indicated by the Contracting Officer.

1.4.6 Repairs to “PUF” or Built-up Roofing with Asbestos Mastic over concrete Roof.

Also included shall be a paragraph certifying that all work was performed according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Replaced roofing systems shall be capable of withstanding hurricane winds of 125 miles per hour of velocity, and warranty documents shall state this. In addition, warranty shall specify that in the event of any deficiency created by an "Act of God" or any other event different from the above statements, if the contractor with the same original product does the repairs, the contractor shall continue honoring the existing warranty. Document shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval prior to final payment of the previously issued task order.

1.8.3 Roofing System Information Card

For each roofing system, furnished a typewritten card, laminated in plastic and framed.

Card shall be 8-1/2 by 11 inches minimum, and shall contain the information in the attached Form 1, Roofing System Description. Send card and two- (2) photostatic paper copies to Department of the Army, Directorate of Public Works, Engineering Division, Building 34, Fort Buchanan, P.R.

1.9 Maintenance Procedure for replaced Roofing Systems with ten (10) years warranty in accordance with Task Orders:

a. Clean and wash the entire roof area with the same procedure indicated in the repair work in paragraphs 1.4.1 through 1.4.6 in this section according to the roofing system type.

b. Roof visual inspections - provide yearly inspection checklists and reports, and schedule for corrections.

c. Inspection shall include, but not limited the following:

(1) All roof drains and through wall scuppers should be checked to see that they are open and free of debris.

(2) The complete roof shall be checked for accumulated debris such as leaves, tree branches and foreign objects thrown or left on the roof.

(3) A walkover of the roof shall be made to examine for cracks, punctures, penetrations, coating blisters, foam blisters, or delamination of either foam or coating. The roof surface should also be carefully examined for any unusual signs of wear, erosion or flaking of the coated surface.

(4) Flashing around drains, equipment, roof vents, stacks, hatches, along roof edges and parapet walls should be examined for cracks or loss of adhesion of foam, coating or plies.

(5) Expansion joints, if existing, should be inspected along curbing details to insure that no structural movement has taken place outside the expansion joint area resulting in cracks in the roofing system.

(6) Peripheral items that are not a direct part of the roofing system that shall be checked during an inspection are integrity of metal copping flashing in parapet walls, the masonry parapet walls themselves to see if they are free from structural cracks that might permit water entry into the building or behind the applied roof system, and seals or caulk joints on sky-light units.

(7) Surface contaminants like oil spills shall be monitored for adverse effects on membranes and coatings.

(8) Subsurface contamination: If from inspection, it is established that a roof has been leaking for sometime, the insulation and substrate should be checked for moisture contamination. This can be done by using either a two-inch diameter core sampler, or a non-destructive moisture tester, either nuclear, infrared, or capacitance type, which indicates the moisture content of the substrate. The core sampler removes a cylindrical core of the roof membrane and insulation.

The sample is weighed wet, then dried in an oven and weighed again. The quantity of moisture per cubic foot of insulation can thus be calculated.

1.10 Incidental work due to Roofing System Repair and/or Replacement:

a. Structural: Contractor shall repair and/or replaced damaged corrugated metal sheets, steel joist, and beams to match existing.

B9-L-19372

b. Roof access hatch doors and skylights: Contractor shall repair and/or replaced these items if found deteriorated during roof inspection.
