A. After removal of the existing wet or damaged roof system and equipment, examine the metal roof deck surface for condition and suitability to receive the new roof assembly. B. If the existing metal deck has been structurally impaired due to deterioration or is open due to the removal of obsolete equipment; the following steps shall be taken: 1. Examine the underside of the metal deck for any conduit located directly below the deck surface, anything suspended or fastened to the deck, etc. If necessary, detach all objects from the bottom side of the deck to be removed. 2. Remove the structurally impaired metal deck using a Sawzall to prevent sparks. Care must be taken to prevent metal deck sections from falling into the building. 3. Fasten new 22 gauge (minimum) galvanized corrugated metal deck of the same configuration and profile to the existing steel bar joists. New metal deck should span over a minimum of three steel bar joists (structural supports) and will lap over the outside supporting steel bar joists a minimum of 6". In the field and perimeter zones, fasten every deck flute at each steel bar joists using one (1) - TEK/5 12-24 x 1 1/4" hex head washer screws. Fasten metal deck side laps with a minimum of four (4) - TEK/1 10-16 x 3/4" hex head washer screws (maximum every 36" o.c.) between supporting bar joists. In the roof corners, fasten every deck flute at each steel bar joists using two (2) - TEK/5 12-24 x 1 1/4" hex head washer screws. Perimeter is defined as a 10'-0" strip around the entire roof perimeter. Corners are defined as the common areas shared by two or more intersecting roof perimeter areas (10'-0" x 10'-0"). Welding of the replacement metal deck will not be allowed. E. Deck Cleaning and Painting: At areas of moderate corrosion development, the existing metal decking may require wire brushing, cleaning and painting. Wire brush, properly clean and paint areas of corroded roof decking with Sherwin Williams B66W1 DTM. F. Deck Overlay: At isolated areas, after proper cleaning and painting as described above, additional deck overlay may be required. At areas determined during the course of the project to need overlay deck installation, install minimum 20 gauge galvanized sheet metal mechanically fastened to the existing metal deck. Note: The Owner s on site representative and the contractor's on site project superintendent shall make the determination of areas of deck replacement, deck cleaning and painting and deck overlay installation. The Owner s on site representative shall keep a daily log and running total of the above items with daily signatures being obtained from the contractors on site project superintendent. G. Contractor shall document deck remediation both before and after corrections. Documentation of remediated areas shall be provided to the Owner prior to payment. The Contractor shall not be paid for deck remediation if proper documentation cannot be provided. H. Verify that the metal deck is now suitable to receive the specified roof insulation and membrane system. 3.03 INSTALLATION OF INSULATION: A. Installation of insulation over metal roof deck. 1. Mechanically attach all layers of new flat stock insulation and/or new tapered insulation into the existing deck. 2. Fastener frequency: One every two (2) square feet or in strict accordance with the selected manufacturer s requirements to provide a wind uplift rating which meets current code requirements. Provide perimeter and corner enhancements as recommended by the roof system manufacturer. ROOF INSULATION SECTION 07220-4
