PART 3 EXECUTION 3.01 EXAMINATION A. Condition of Surfaces: Inspect all surfaces to receive the work and report all defects which would interfere with this installation. B. Acceptance: Starting work implies acceptance of surfaces as satisfactory. 3.02 PREPARATION A. Layout: Set all work plumb, unless otherwise noted. B. Fitting: Fit exposed connections accurately together to form tight joints. 3.03 INSTALLATION GENERAL A. Attachments and Reinforcements 1. Set all railings and similar items shown or required to be set in sleeves or cans with quick setting non-shrink grout or anchor cement. 2. Provide all reinforcements for hardware and other miscellaneous attachments. B. Fasteners 1. Provide hot dipped galvanized steel all lugs, clips, anchors and miscellaneous fastenings necessary for the complete assembly and installation. 3.04 CHAIN LINK FENCE INSTALLATION A. Erect chain link fencing only after final grading is complete. Install fence fabric and bolt heads on one side of fence and bolt nuts on the other side. After installation is complete, preen nuts to prevent removal. 1. Level: Install all fence work, including fences over irregular terrain, with posts truly plumb and top of fence fabric and rails truly level, except as indicated otherwise and except at regular slopes and hills, install top of fence fabric and rails to follow slope. 2. Posts Set in Ground: Accurately space posts at approximately 8 feet on center, unless otherwise indicated or required, and excavate neat, circular holes at least four times the diameter of the post and at least 6 inches below post bottoms. Set posts at least 3 feet below finish grade and 323100-8
center align posts in hole with 6 inches of concrete beneath posts. Fill holes with concrete and vibrate and consolidate around posts. Maintain true vertical and top alignment and alignment along the fence line. Extend concrete footings to 6 inches below finish grades and slope to shed water away from posts. Align posts and fence fabric to permit paving to continue around fence posts so that concrete fence post footing does not show. 3. Rails: Provide top and bottom rails continuously with expansion couplings as recommended by fence manufacturer. Install intermediate rails, where used, flush with face fabric using offset fittings if necessary. Provide intermediate rails for all fences over 6 feet high. 4. Fabric: Thread tension bars through fabric and clamp to fabric at 4 inches on center. Band stretcher bars to end posts at 12 inches on center. Stretch fabric tightly and securely anchor fabric to framing and tension wires leaving about 2 inches clearance above grade. Anchor and tie so that fabric remains in tension after puling force is released. Form joints of splices in fabric only at posts. Tie fabric to line posts at 12 inches on center, to rails and braces at 24 inches on center, and to tension wires at 24 inches on center with U-shaped tie wires double turned with ends bent into fence for safety. 5. PVC Coated Work: Generally comply with requirements for galvanized work. Take extreme care to prevent removal of or damage to PVC coatings. Touch-up all cut and abraded surfaces with PVC tough-up paint to prevent corrosion and to make tough-up invisible. 3.05 ALUMINIUM FENCE INSTALLATION A. Fencing 1.
