4 3.02 WOOD DECK PREPARATION A. Verify flatness and tightness of joints of wood decking. Fill knot holes with latex filler. 1. Confirm dry deck by moisture meter with 12 percent moisture maximum. B. The structure shall be sufficient to withstand normal construction loads and live loads. Defects in the roof deck must be reported and documented to the architect, general contractor and building owner for assessment. The Roofing applicator shall not proceed unless the defects are corrected. C. Minimum 7/16" thick oriented strand board (OSB) is required. Fasteners are recommended with a minimum pullout of 250 pounds per fastener. The substrate must be even without noticeable high spots or depressions, and must be free of accumulated water, ice or snow. D. Install deck underlayment as required by Membrane manufacturer PROTECTION OF WORK OF OTHER TRADES A. Protect paving and building walls adjacent to hoist prior to starting work. Lap suitable protective materials at least six inches. Secure protective coverings against wind. Leave protective covering in place for duration of roofing work MEMBRANE APPLICATION A. Apply membrane in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and with Referenced Standards. 1. When feasible, begin the application at the highest point of the highest roof level and work to the lowest point to prevent moisture infiltration and to minimize construction traffic on completed sections. Include completion of all flashings and terminations. B. Apply membrane system smooth, free from air pockets, wrinkles, fish-mouths, or tears. Ensure full bond of membrane to substrate. Follow criteria outlined in the manufacturer s technical installation manual to prepare the roof deck or the substrate prior to the application of the new roofing system. C. Install underlayment when required by Membrane manufacturer. Mechanically fastened to the roof deck with 1 insulation fastener and plate per every 2 square feet of insulation. 1. When mechanical attachment of the insulation is not desired, use manufacturer s adhesive or a solid mopping of hot asphalt. D. Fully adhere the EPDM membrane to the acceptable substrate with roof system s Bonding Adhesive at the rate specified on the container label. E. Overlap adjacent EPDM membrane sheets a minimum of 3". F. Membrane Splicing: 1. Apply Primer to the splice area. 2. Position manufacturer s tape onto bottom membrane sheet with the edge of the release film along a line marked 1/2" out from the top sheet. Press tape onto sheet using hand pressure, overlapping tape roll ends a minimum of 1". 3. Remove the release film and press top sheet onto tape using hand pressure. Roll the splice with a 2" wide steel roller. 4. Install a 6" wide section of manufacturer s flashing over all field splice intersections and seal edges of flashing with Lap Sealant. The use of Lap Sealant with tape splices is optional except at cut edges of reinforced membrane and at tape overlaps. G. EPDM membrane must be secured at the perimeter of each roof level, roof section, expansion joint, curb, skylight, interior wall, penthouse, etc., at any angle change which exceeds 2" in one horizontal foot, and at other penetrations in accordance with manufacturer s approved details. Additional membrane securement may be provided by reinforced securement strips or seam ELASTOMERIC MEMBRANE ROOFING

5 fastening plates. H. Flash all penetrations and walls with Cured EPDM membrane or Flashing. 1. Uncured Flashing and Pressure-Sensitive Uncured Flashing shall be limited to overlay vertical seams (as required at angle changes) or to flash inside and outside corners, scuppers, pourable sealer pockets and other penetrations or unusually shaped walls where the use of cured membrane flashing or Pressure-Sensitive Flashing (semi-cured) is not practical. 2 Manufacturer s Prefabricated accessories (Pre-Molded Pipe Seals and Pressure-Sensitive Products; such as, Flashing, Pourable Sealer Pockets, Pipe Seals and Inside/Outside Corners) should be used, when feasible, in lieu of uncured Elastoform Flashing. 3 When using Pressure-Sensitive Flashing (semi-cured only) to overlay Fastening Plates or metal edging flanges, etc., Manufacturer s Primer must be used to clean the membrane and metal surfaces. Lap Sealant is optional on straight runs of Pressure-Sensitive Flashing and around Pressure-Sensitive Pipe Seals. 4 Terminate the flashing in accordance with Manufacturer s recommended Termination. 5. Walkways are required at all traffic concentration points (i.e., roof hatches, access doors, rooftop ladders, etc.), regardless of traffic frequency. Walkways are also required if regular maintenance (once a month or more) is necessary to service rooftop equipment. a. Walkway Pads/Rolls must be adhered to the membrane with Splicing Cement or Tape. Pressure-sensitive Walkway Pads (with manufacturer s adhesive pre-applied to the walkway underside are acceptable. 6. Copings, counterflashing and other metal work shall be fastened to prevent the metal from pulling free or buckling and sealed to prevent moisture from entering the roofing system or building FIELD QUALITY CONTROL A. See Section Quality Requirements, for general requirements for field quality control and inspection. At Owner s option, provide the following. Verify with Owner for inclusion in the scope of work. 1. Flood Test: Architect and Owner will select location of roof areas to be tested. On completion of horizontal membrane installation, dam installation area in preparation for flood testing. a.
