3 Section A: Noise Panel System (Empire M-90 Septum Noise Abatement System) The EAS M-90 Septum Panel System is engineered for acoustical enclosures and noise barriers where existing walls or structures need additional sound absorption. M-90 Septum Panels are designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. Acoustical Performance Standards Has Noise reduction coefficient of when measured in accordance with the requirements of ASTM C423. M-90 Septum Panels The panels are fabricated from 22 gauge cold-formed sheet steel. The panels have a width of 24 inches and a thickness of 3½ inches. The panel face tray is made of 22 gauge perforated steel and has 3/16 inch diameter perforations in a 3/8 inch staggered pattern. The Septum tray is typically made of 22 gauge perforated cold-formed steel and has 3/16 inch diameter perforations in a 3/8 inch staggered pattern. Alternate materials may be used to increase the NRC value of the panel. The panel back tray is filled with six pound density mineral rock wool. Maximum panel length is 12-5 before intermediate bracing is required. Sound strikes the perforated side; most of it passes through the perforations and is absorbed by the acoustical material, while some is reflected back to the source of the noise. The remaining sound which is transmitted through the barrier is substantially reduced.

5 Section B: Color Coating Systems: Coil Coating Process: Under the first system; EAS uses coils that have been coil coated. Coil coating is a continuous and highly automated process for coating metal before fabrication. Please refer to the illustration of this process attached separately. The coil coating process involves: Uncoiling and Straightening of the coils Cleaning and Pre-treating (chemical treatment) both sides of the coils Application of prime coat and oven curing Application of top coat and oven curing again Recoiling for final shipment The material is tested at various process points to ensure that paint specifications and specified quality parameters are met. The color coating system used is Akzo Nobel Coatings Inc s TRINAR 2 Coat Color System. All TRINAR coatings are 70% formulations of Kynar 500 or Hylar 5000 polyvinylidine fluoride (PVDF) resin. Critical Performance Characteristics for Akzo Nobel Coatings Inc s TRINAR 2 Coat Color System: Some of the performance characteristics in accordance with the ASTM test procedures are as follows: Adhesion (per ASTM D 3359) no loss of adhesion Flexibility (per ASTM D 4145) 1T to 3T; no loss of adhesion Hardness (per ASTM D 3363) HB minimum Reverse Impact (per ASTM D2794) 3x metal thickness, no tape off Abrasion Resistance (per ASTM D 968) 65 +/- 10 liters per mil Specular Gloss (per ASTM D 523) Less than 25 at 60º Page 5 of 14

Advantages: Environmentally friendly. For TRINAR coated coils, the coils are received color coated thereby eliminating the handling of powder. No solvents to handle. For TRINAR coated coils, the coils are received color coated thereby eliminating the use of any solvents. Product is ready to apply, No adjustments needed. See above. One coat application for textures and high film build products. Multiple color finishes in single coat applications. Large Volumes. For TRINAR coated coils large volumes can be processed in shorter time spans. Flexibility. Good resistance to chipping and scratching. Excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. Page 6 of 14

7 Powder Coating Process: Under the second system; EAS uses coils that are bare galvanized. The main difference between the two systems is; in the first system we take the color coated coils and process them to form the panels, whereas in the second system the panels are formed from the bare galvanized coils and then powder coated. The coating process involves: Putting the panels (flashing material, etc.) through a wash system. Dry off stage for the wash system as parts need to be dry before powder coating. The panel parts are then run through the powder coating booth where they are color coated individually. The coated panel parts are then cured and baked in an oven for the specified time at appropriate temperature. The material is tested at various process points to ensure that paint specifications and specified quality control parameters are met. The Sherwin Williams POWDURA Powder Coating is used by EAS. This product line has excellent chemical resistance and durability and works well as an anti-graffiti product. The EAS Standard Color Guide is available on request. Critical Performance Characteristics for Sherwin Williams POWDURA Powder Coatings: Some of the performance characteristics in accordance with the ASTM test procedures are as follows: Adhesion (per ASTM D 3359) no failure with 1/16 squares Flexibility (per ASTM D 522) Pass 1/8 Mandrel Bend Hardness (per ASTM D 3363) 2H Reverse Impact (per ASTM D2794) 140 Dir./140 Rev Specular Gloss (per ASTM D 523) 80+ at 60 degrees The complete product specifications and performance properties are available upon request.

8 Advantages: Environmentally friendly The powder is stored in sealed containers in cool and dry conditions. The powder in itself is environmentally friendly. No solvents to handle. The powder is mixed in the gunning tank and does not require any solvents. Product is ready to apply, no adjustments needed. One coat application for textures and high film build products. Multiple color finishes in single coat applications. Good resistance to chipping and scratching. Excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. Cleaning and Maintenance of Panel Systems: The panel systems made with both the TRINAR 2 coat system and the Powder Coating system, under regular working environment conditions, has shown remarkable resistance to exterior chalking, fading, cracking and the effects of chemicals and ultraviolet rays. However, coil coated panels offer a relatively non-adherent, inert surface to undesirable materials. Removal of undesirable materials from the surface of coil coated, factory-finished bake enamels should always be limited to mild soapy water or mild cleaners, followed by a clean water rinse. However, it is recognized that occasionally problems occur, such as overspray from air-dry painting in the area, graffiti, or other incidental problems. Since these bake enamels are composed of resins and pigments which can be adversely affected by strong chemicals, extreme care should be exercised in any removal activities. It is very important that all cleaners and solvents, as listed below in Steps A through D, be first tested on a less visible area, to determine if there are any potentially negative effects from the cleaning process. Cleaning should not be attempted if there is any damage, such as abrasion, scuffing, dulling, burnishing, etc., done to the film in the test area. The following sequential procedures are suggested: A.) Unless the condition is clearly undesirable, it is often best to do nothing at all. This is often the case with light, unintentional overspray; it will probably be removed by the elements in a relatively short period of time. B.) If, however, removal is deemed necessary, first try washing with mild soapy water or a mild household cleaner such as Fantastic. Sometimes the use of a minimally abrasive Teflon-type pad gives just enough physical action to succeed. Page 8 of 14

9 Please note: Repeated rubbing with abrasive cleaners and/or pads is likely to result in a scuffed surface, which will not only be unsightly, but will also decrease the service life of the factory finish and void warranty coverage. C.) If Step B fails to address the problem in a satisfactory manner, a slightly more aggressive approach would be to wipe the surface with either mineral spirits or VM&P Naphtha. These solvents are often used in air drying. Mineral spirits evaporate slowly and will work best in warm weather on warm metal. VM&P Naphtha evaporates rapidly, and will work best in cool weather on cool metal. D.) If steps B and C have not produced satisfactory results, more aggressive aromatic solvents, such as xylene ( xylol or m-xylene ) or toluene ( toluol ) may be used very carefully, being sure to limit the amount of solvent to the minimum necessary, to only dampen a cloth and limit the time of exposure to seconds or less on any given area. Xylene has a moderate evaporation rate and is best suited for warm metal in warm weather. Toluene evaporates faster, and is better suited for cool weather on cool metal. Note: Stronger solvents, such as any type of ketone, should never be used to clean factory finishes damage to the coating is extremely likely to occur and will void any warranty coverage. E.) The longer that the factory applied, baked enamel surface has been in service, the more susceptible it will be to damage caused by any procedure intended to remove undesirable deposits from its surface. It is therefore important that all cleaners and solvents be first tested on a less visible area, to determine the potential side-effects of cleaning. Cleaning should not be undertaken if there is any damage, such as abrasion, scuffing, dulling, burnishing, etc., done to the film. Such damage automatically voids warranty coverage. Also, the older the original surface, the greater will be the likelihood that the cleaned area will result in a somewhat different appearance, due to the removal of dirt and natural degradation of materials from the cleaned area.

10 Section C: Packing, Material Handling and Installation Packaging: EAS M-90 Septum panels are packaged and shipped flat on a wooden pallet. The maximum length of the panels is 12-5 and approx 20 panels are packed on each pallet (depending on the length of the panel). The panels are placed on the pallet in 2 rows and then vertically stacked. Care is taken while stacking the panels so that there are no scratches on the panels. Additionally foam strips are placed between each of the panels at multiple locations to ensure that the panels do not rub against each other. The panels once stacked are shrink-wrapped and then bound by steel bands on all sides to ensure that the panels do not move. Computerized packing slips indicating the length of the panels, number of panels and other information are attached to the panels before shrink wrapping. These packing slips are visible to visual inspection. See Picture 1 for illustration. Picture 1 Pallet The panels are then moved to the loading dock where they are loaded onto trucks using a fork lift. See Picture 2 for illustration. Picture 2 - Loading Page 10 of 14

11 The pallets are loaded on a flat bed truck side by side (in some cases a box truck may be used). The pallets are not loaded on top of each other as they might damage the panels on the lower pallet while in transport. See Pictures 3 and 4 for illustration. Picture 3 Picture 4 The pallets, once loaded, are tarped with water resistant material to ensure that the panels reach the destination safely. See picture 5 for illustration. Picture 5 Receiving: Upon arrival of the panels at the jobsite, the contractor is responsible for inspecting the shipment for damage, shortages etc. If damage or shortage is observed, a claim must be filed with the carrier at once, and the delivery documents must be noted. If there is concealed damage or shortage the carrier and the company must be notified immediately. Photographs of the damaged components in their original packages will be needed in submitting the claim. Claims must be submitted within 72 hours of delivery. Page 11 of 14

12 Unloading: We recommend using a fork lift for unloading the pallets from the truck. The maximum pallet weight is approx 3000 pounds. Storage: As the panels will usually be installed within a few weeks of receipt, care should be taken to store them at convenient locations to minimize handling during erection. The shrink wrapping should be removed only at the time of installation of the panels. The pallets should be stored reasonably level, but slightly sloped to allow for drainage. The pallets should not be stacked one over the other. If the panels need to be stored for a longer period of time, they should be stored and protected in a covered, dry location that provides for good air circulation, is shielded from direct sun light and is free from the effects of corrosive environments. Material Handling: The panels should be carried on edge in a vertical position for stiffness. Care should be taken to avoid carrying them horizontally/flat as bending or warping may occur. Installing Panels: Installation will be per the Approved plan set. Page 12 of 14

13 Section D: Durability EAS wall systems are designed to minimize costs, are light weight, easy to install, aesthetically pleasing and designed to be virtually maintenance free over the expected lifetime of a typical installation. The panels are fabricated from galvanized (G-90) steel and may be coil coated or powder coated depending on the application. Coating of the panels extends the life of the panels thereby reducing the susceptibility to chemical deterioration and abrasion as well as minimizes the effects of weathering. As the panels are used for outdoor application over the lifetime of the installation one will see some weathering effects but these will not be significant. From the design perspective the noise walls are designed based on current AASHTO standards and are designed for wind speeds in excess of 140 mph depending upon the region and specified parameters.
