SECTION 2

REMOVAL OF OLD ROOFING AND INSULATION

TP-2-01 OLD ROOF REMOVAL AND CLEANING

This item includes the partial removal of the water tightness (type UREFLEX from RECTICEL) and its insulation (+- 5cm thick polyurethane foam of RECTICEL RSF 60 type).

The removal of the existing overlay will be performed manually or with a machine, at the contractor’s choice. If the genuine water tightness in bitumen is still present under the insulation, the contractor has to remove it in order to achieve a perfectly clean support free of any product that could hinder the good execution of the new insulation, its adherence or the stability of the insulating material.

As the cohesion of the concrete is rather small, it is possible that some parts get loose when removing the insulating material. The contractor will remove all loose elements and will evacuate them out of the area. They will be disposed of according to environmental standards, available upon request from the COR. A disposal certificate will be provided to the COR immediately upon disposal.

This item covers the complete and careful removal of all roofing materials installed on top of the structural concrete slab composed of several layers and types of bituminous material, the insulating material and all repair materials.

TP-2-02 PRECAUTIONS

During the removal of the water tightness and insulating material, the contractor shall take appropriate measures to ensure the water downspouts do not clog the existing piping.

TP-2-03 CLEANING

Once the insulation is removed, the substrate will be cleaned properly (sweeping and vacuum cleaning), in order to provide a good surface for the application of the sloped light weight concrete. All debris shall be evacuated in 10 m3 Containers.

SECTION 3

REPAIR AND PROTECT CONCRETE

TP-3-01 SUBSTRATE

At the locations where the water tightness and/or insulation has been removed, the contractor will have to make sure that the concrete support is in good condition. If necessary, local repairs will be carried out, removing loose concrete parts, filling up holes and cracks with rich mortar mixed with Compactuna or equal material. Before applying new mortar at critical locations, a curing compound (Compactuna or equal) will be applied. Then, an adherence coat will be applied on the previously cleaned and dry substrate.

TP-3-02 CONCRETE CEMENTED ROOF WALLS

Concrete cemented roof walls/sides with a spreading of 75cm will first have a high-pressure cleaning on their entire surface. Broken or cracked surfaces will be scoured, and the reinforcements will be treated to remove all rust.

Protection of the reinforcements will be achieved with a high performance overlay with emulsion resin and cement with two-component special fillers, type FCR 841 (rust inhibitive) or equal.

Repair of concrete will be done with epoxy mortar or single-component hydraulic mortar, microsilicates, fibers and copolymere styrene acrylates, type MONOMIX or equal.

Use a formwork if necessary, followed by profiling, floating and smoothing.

Once the repairs have been executed, cornices will be protected by anti-carbonation of concrete, in order to avoid, at short term, a future damage of surfaces that have remained sane.

Operating process

Application with a brush or roller of a two-component, aqueous, epoxy, adherence primer coating (PPPU primer):

6 to 10m2/liter according to absorption factor of the substrate.

After repair of possible non-stabilized cracks, supply and application in two layers of 0.275 liters/m2 of a self-cleaning elastic covering DECADEX EVERCLEAN or equal.

N.B.: This protective coating, shall be white for concrete cemented walls.

(e) For Service and Supply Contracts, the Contractor will complete a USAG Benelux Form 385-

1A-E, USAG Benelux Safety Hazard Analysis, and forward it to the ISO no later than 7 working days prior to the anticipated start of the work.

(f) For military construction (MILCON) and Sustainment Renovation and Modernization (SRM) projects with only one contractor involved, the Contractor Safety Representative (CSR) will meet with the

ISO and COR to review and evaluate all Safety & Occupational Health aspects of the contract. This meeting is primarily to exchange information pertaining to potential hazards generated by the nature of the work to be performed. The meeting should take place no later than 1 week prior to the anticipated start of the work. The CSR will brief the ISO on equipment, machinery, work processes, hazardous products used during the accomplishment of the contract, and all safety measures taken or anticipated to minimize hazards, such as the use of personal protective equipments (PPE’S).

(g) For MILCON and SRM projects with more than one contractor/sub-contractor involved, the

COR will appoint a qualified on-site Safety and Health Pre-Execution Coordinator (SHPEC) in the pre-execution phase of the project. During that phase, the appointed SHPEC will generate a thorough Safety and Health Plan (SHP) that will include the appropriate safety and health precautions related to the project. The SHP will be provided to the contractor, COR, and ISO 7 days prior to the anticipated start of the work. The SHPEC wage and expenses will be paid by the contractor. A copy of the SHP will be retained at the USAG Benelux Directorate of Public Work, Hangar # 6, Chièvres Air Base, at
