About this file
This file is Volume 2 of 3 of the specifications for the construction of a Collocated Vehicle Maintenance Shop (VMS) and Area Maintenance Support Activity (AMSA) at the Defense Supply Center Richmond in Virginia. The detailed specifications cover multiple construction divisions including thermal and moisture protection (Division 07), which this particular excerpt focuses on specific requirements for board and block insulation, mineral fiber blanket insulation, roof and deck insulation, air barrier systems, and other related building envelope components.
The specifications provide comprehensive technical requirements for insulation materials, including performance standards, physical properties, sustainability reporting requirements, and installation guidelines. Key specifications include requirements for air permeance, thermal resistance, fire protection, recycled content, and indoor air quality certifications. The documents are part of a larger project (Contract Number W912QR25RA024, P2 Number 507524) being executed by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District, with a certified final design dated 17 April 2025. The specifications are to be maintained for 15 years after construction and provide detailed technical guidance for contractors on material selection, preparation, and installation of building insulation systems.

Corrosion resistant fasteners as recommended by the insulation manufacturer.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS
Prior to installation, ensure all areas that will be in contact with the insulation are dry and free of projections that could cause voids, compressed insulation, or punctured vapor retarders. For foundation perimeter or under slab applications, check that subsurface fill is flat, smooth, dry, and well tamped. Do not proceed with installation if moisture or other conditions are present and notify the Contracting Officer of such conditions. Do not proceed with the work until conditions have been corrected and verified to be dry.
3.2 PREPARATION
3.2.1 Blocking Around Heat Producing Devices
Provide noncombustible blocking at all spaces between heat producing devices and the floors, ceilings and roofs through which they pass.
Provide in accordance with ICC IBC Section 2111.13 Fireplace Fireblocking and with the following clearances:
a. Recessed lighting fixtures, including wiring compartments, ballasts, and other heat producing devices, unless certified for installation surrounded by insulation: 3 inches from outside face of fixtures and devices or as required by NFPA 70 and, if insulation is placed above fixture or device, 24 inches above fixture.
SECTION 07 21 13 Page 5
b. Vents and vent connectors used for venting products of combustion and flues: Minimum clearances as required by NFPA 211 .

Apply in parallel courses with joints breaking midway over course below. Place boards in moderate contact with adjoining insulation without forcing and without gaps. Cut and shape as required to fit around wall penetrations, projections or openings to accommodate conduit or other utilities. Seal around cutouts with sealant. Install insulation in wall cavities so that it leaves at least a nominal one inch air space outside of the insulation to allow for cavity drainage.
3.4.3 Adhesive Attachment to Concrete and Masonry Walls
Apply adhesive to wall and completely cover wall with insulation.
a. As recommended by the insulation manufacturer.
b. Use only full back method for pieces of one square foot or less.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION AND PREPARATION
3.1.1 Surface Inspection
Ensure surfaces are clean, smooth, and dry prior to application. Check roof deck surfaces, including surfaces sloped to roof drains and outlets, for defects before starting work.
The Contractor must inspect and approve the surfaces immediately before starting installation. Prior to installing insulation, perform the following:
a. Examine steel decks to ensure that panels are properly secured to structural members and to each other and that surfaces of top flanges are flat or slightly convex.
3.1.2 Surface Preparation
To correct defects and inaccuracies in roof deck surface to eliminate poor drainage from hollow or low spots, perform the following:
a. Provide wood nailers of the same thickness as the insulation at eaves, edges, curbs, walls, and roof openings for securing of cant strips, gravel stops, and flashing flanges.
b. Cover steel decks with a layer of insulation board of sufficient width
SECTION 07 22 00 Page 8 to span the width of a deck rib opening, and in accordance with fire safety requirements. Secure with piercing or self-drilling, self-tapping fasteners of quantity and placement in accordance with FM APP GUIDE. Locate insulation joints parallel to ribs of deck on solid bearing surfaces only, not over open ribs.
3.2 INSULATION INSTALLATION
Apply insulation in two layers with staggered joints when total required thickness of insulation exceeds 1/2 inch . Lay insulation so that continuous longitudinal joints are perpendicular to direction of roofing, as specified in Section 07 52 00.00 48 SBS-MODIFIED BITUMINOUS MEMBRANE ROOFING SYSTEM, and end joints of each course are staggered with those of adjoining courses. When using multiple layers of insulation, provide joints of each succeeding layer that are parallel and offset in both directions with respect to the layer below. Keep insulation 1/2 inch clear of vertical surfaces penetrating and projecting from roof surface.
Verify required slopes to each roof drain.
3.2.1 Installation Using Asphalt
Firmly embed each layer in solid asphalt mopping; mop only sufficient area to provide complete embedment of one board at a time. Provide 20 to 35 lbs of asphalt per 100 square feet of roof deck for each layer of insulation. Apply asphalt when temperature is within plus or minus 25 degrees F of EVT. Do not heat asphalt above asphalt's FBT or 525 degrees F , whichever is less, for longer than 4 consecutive hours. Use thermometers to check temperatures during heating and application.
3.2.2 Installation Using Asphalt on Steel Decks
Secure first layer of insulation to deck with piercing or self-drilling, self-tapping fasteners. Engage fasteners by driving them through insulation into top flange of steel deck. Use driving method prescribed by fastener manufacturer. Locate insulation joints parallel to ribs of deck on solid bearing surfaces only, not over open ribs. Secure succeeding layers with solid asphalt moppings. Where insulation is applied over steel deck, locate long edge joints so that they bear continuously on the steel deck. Insulation that can be readily lifted after installation is not considered adequately secured. Apply insulation only in quantities that can be entirely waterproofed the same day. Phased construction is not permitted. Apply impermeable faced insulation without damage to the facing.
3.2.3 Installation of Protection for Asphalt Work
Before starting asphalt work, protect surrounding areas and surfaces from spillage and migration of asphalt onto other work. Provide non-combustible protective coverings at surfaces adjacent to hoists and kettles. Lap protective coverings at least 6 inches , secure against wind, and vent to prevent collection of moisture on covered surfaces. Keep protective coverings in place for the duration of asphalt work.
3.2.4 Installation Using Only Mechanical Fasteners
Secure total thickness of insulation with penetrating type fasteners.
SECTION 07 22 00 Page 9
3.2.5 Special Precautions for Installation of Foam Insulation
3.2.5.1 Polyisocyanurate Insulation
Where polyisocyanurate foam board insulation is provided, install cover board over top surface of foam board insulation. Stagger joints of insulation with respect to foam board insulation below.
3.2.6 Cant Strips
Where indicated, provide cant strips at intersections of roof with walls, parapets, and curbs extending above roof. Wood cant strips must bear on and be anchored to wood blocking. Fit cant strips flush to vertical surfaces. Where possible, nail cant strips to adjoining surfaces. Where cant strips are installed against non-nailable materials, install in heavy mopping of asphalt or set in a heavy coating of asphalt roof cement or an approved adhesive .
3.2.7 Tapered Edge Strips
Where indicated, provide edge strips in the right angle formed by the juncture of roof and wood nailing strips that extend above the level of the roof. Install edge strips flush to vertical surfaces of wood nailing strips. Where possible, nail edge strips to adjoining surfaces.
