PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
- A. Examine surfaces to receive membrane. Notify
Architect if surfaces are not acceptable. Do not begin surface preparation
or application until unacceptable conditions have been corrected.
3.2 SURFACE PREPARATION
- A. Prepare surfaces in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions.
3.3 APPLICATION
- A. Apply membrane in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions to provide a permanent, monolithic vapor seal without voids
or open seams.
B. Ensure accessory materials are compatible with membrane and approved
by membrane manufacturer.
C. Place membrane in position by either Dutch lap method with laps sealed
with bonding asphalt or by butt joint method with joints sealed with
joint tape.
D. Point exposed edges with pointing mastic to prevent water from traveling
under membrane.
E. Place membrane collar around protrusions through concrete slab, including
sewer pipes, water pipes, and utility inlets to create a positive seal
between protrusions and membrane. Seal in place with joint tape and
point around protrusions with pointing mastic.
F. Adhere membrane to vertical surfaces with adhesive.
3.4 PROTECTION
- A. Protect membrane from damage until placement
of concrete.
