PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 SURFACE CONDITIONS

A. Examination:

1. The Contractor shall verify installed work of other trades that such work is complete to a point where the roofing system installation may commence.

2. Verify that the substructure installation is in accordance with the approved shop drawings and panel Manufacturer’s requirements. This specifically includes verifying that secondary structural members and/or decking are installed to meet performance requirements. Coordinate with panel Manufacturer to ensure that the substructure is installed to accommodate the appropriate clip spacing.

B. Discrepancies:

1. In event of discrepancy, notify the architect (owner).

2. Do not proceed with installation until discrepancies have been resolved.

C. Verify that roof openings, curbs, pipes, sleeves, ducts, vents, and other penetrations through roof substrate are complete.

3.02 INSTALLATION

A. Install the panel in accordance with Manufacturer’s instructions and approved installation drawings.

B. Install the panel so that it is weather-tight and allows for thermal movements.

C. Locate and space all exposed fasteners in accordance with the panel Manufacturer’s recommendations. Use proper torque settings to obtain controlled uniform compression for a positive seal without rupturing the neoprene washer.

D. Avoid placing pipe penetrations through the panel seams.

E. Do not allow panels or trim to come into contact with dissimilar materials (i.e. copper, lead, graphite, treated lumber, mortar, etc). Water run-off from these materials is also prohibited.

F. Comply with the panel Manufacturer’s approved installation drawings and instructions.

G. Field cutting of panels, trim, and/or flashing shall be accomplished by hand or electric shears. At no time shall a hot saw be used.

Note to Specifier: A certain amount of waviness called ‘oil canning’ is inherent in any product manufactured from coiled sheet material. The amount of ‘oil canning’ can vary due to several factors: uneven substrates, the width of the panel, weather conditions, etc. Minor ‘oil canning’ of a panel does not affect its structural integrity and is not sufficient cause for rejection.

3.03 ADJUSTING AND CLEANING

A. Repair panels with minor damage.

B. Remove panels damaged beyond repair and replace with new panels to match adjacent undamaged panels.

C. Clean exposed panel surfaces promptly after installation in accordance with recommendations of panel and coating manufacturers.

D. Remove protective film immediately after installation.
