Flashing, one each 300mm long, full section. Fastener, two sample of each type. One each A4 size sample of sound insulation, radiant & vapor foil and wire mesh. Roof outlet, vent cowl and rain-water uPVC downpour.

Installation. a) The work will be supervised by a competent supervisor with experience working in height and lifting. b) Higher ends of roofing panel will be turned up with turn-up tool while the drip edge will be turned downwards. 1

c) Roofing panels will be lifted and placed on the roof frame in the correct way up to avoid having to turn the panels 180 degree. The overlapping side should face the start point. d) Roofing and siding material will be laid to required pitch and verticality, fixed to steel purlins and rails with concealed fasteners complete with flashing, capping, etc all in accordance with manufacturers recommended procedure. e) The first panel will be laid in perfect alignment with a further check mid way into the installation to confirm that the panels are parallel. This is done by taking 2 parallel measurements from the start panel to the near panel. f) Completed installation will be sound and watertight and clean of metal savings and fillings. g) Chipped and damaged coating will be repaired by the installer with touch-up paint in accordance with manufacturers recommended procedure. The repair will be inspected by MHI for prior acceptance or otherwise.

Installation of Lysaght Kliplok 406 Walling Sheets. The installation procedure for walls is similar to that described for roofs as above. To prevent the cladding from siding downwards in the fixing clips, you should pierce-fix through each sheet under the flashing or capping along the top of the sheets.

6.1.3

Material receipt, etc a) Material delivered will be accompanied by relevant manufacturers certificate and 3rd party mill certificate as applicable. b) Material will be stored in their original crate on timber sleepers or equal until such time when there are required for installation, and protected/covered from inclement weather.

6.1.4

Waterproofing material. a) Waterproof protective membrane for RC gutter will be BASF Sonoshield 300H, a brushable single component flexible acrylic co-polymer elastomeric coating containing inert pigments. Pack size will be 20 litres pail. (Applicable to all EPC buildings) b) Waterproofing for Substation and CCR RC roof slab will comprise of the following: BASF Masterpren 2004M, a torch-on composite membrane of modified bituminous compound reinforced with non-woven polyester fabric. Roll dimension will be 1m wide x 10m length x 4.0mm thick. Extruded polystyrene insulation in 50mm thick x 600mm x 1200mm panels. 50mm cement screed covering with tooled expansion grooves.

c) All waterproofing will be done by specialist applicator.

6.1.5

Installation. RC Gutter / Sonoshield 300H. a) Gutter surfaces will be visually checked and any cracks, high spots, low spots, unsmooth or uneven patches roughen by chipping. Affected spots and patches will be primed with bonding agent and skimmed with cementitious repair compound. b) Gutter surfaces will be clean of dust, laitance, mortar, oil, grease and other contaminants. Coating application will not be made during rainy weather. Applicators will wear only soft sole shoes during work. c) The cleaned surfaces will be primed with Masterkure 181 at the rate of 5 m2 per litre. Temperature for application will not be less than 25deg Celsius with a minimum 3 hours lead time before applying the waterproofing coating. Skimmed or repaired concreted surfaces, fillet, turnings, corners, drain outlets, vents and any pipe protrusions will be primed first using a hand brush or squeegee. The primer will be pressed onto the surface and carried up 150mm on vertical protrusions. This will be followed by priming to the whole area using a roller.

d) Sonoshield will be applied to the primed surface in two coats using a paint roller and brush at a rate of 1.5m2 per litre. The first coat will be applied across the inside girth of the RC gutter profile in a continuous even film and pressing out any air entrapment or bubbles. e) The second coat will be applied longitudinally at 90 deg angle to the first coat after 30 minutes drying time and ensuring a complete and uniform covering over the 1st coat. f) After the coating has cured, drain outlets will be temporary plugged and the RC gutter filled with water for leakage test.

RC Slab / BASF Masterpren 2004M with 50mm polystyrene slab and cement screed cover g) Prior to installation slab surfaces will be visually checked and any cracks, high spots, low spots, unsmooth or uneven patches roughen by chipping. Affected spots and patches will be primed with bonding agent and skimmed with cementitious repair compound. h) Corners, joints, penetrations of pipes and other openings will be visually inspected, repaired if required and dressed up before membrane application proceed. i) Slab surfaces will be clean of dust, laitance, oil, grease and other contaminants. Membrane application will not be made during rainy weather. Applicators will wear only soft sole shoes during work. j) Mark the substrate making allowance for 50mm side lap between rolls. k) Prior to use, unroll each membrane roll on slab surface and visually check for any damages. After checking rolled up with the torchable side exposed ready for laying. l) A propane gas applicator with 50mm dia bell head and working pressure of 3.5 4.0 bars will be used to preheat the membrane and substrate. m) Starting from the low side of the roof slab at one end, put out 1.0m free length for subsequent laying and align the balance of the roll. Make a quick pass of the flame over the membrane torchable face then direct the flame on the substrate infront in quick succession and simultaneously pushing the roll forward. Another worker will follow behind pressing the bonded membrane with a rubber roller working from the centre outwards to push out any entrapped air. Continue until roll is finished. Return to the starting point and complete the laying onto the ditch and parapet wall. Trim off any excess and tuck neatly under the concrete sill. n) Next starting from the opposite side, align a roll, lay the roll as first above described. Where the membrane meets lap the joint 50mm and trim off excess. Complete the free length onto the ditch and parapet wall and trim off excess as before. o) Repeat step m and n plus allowing for 50mm side lapping, continue the next parallel row until approximately mid way of the roof slab. Then repeat step m and n starting the other end of the roof.

p) The last roll or width over the mid way of the RC roof slab will be laid to overlap the laid rolls on both sides. q) The ditch and parapet walls on both ends of the roof slab will be completed last using pre-cut free lengths of 1.0m long. r) Complete and neatly dress up membrane on/over corners, joints, penetrations of pipes, etc. s) Next place 50mm thick high density extruded polystyrene foam insulation panels in a staggered row formation and covered with non-woven polyester or equivalent geotextile. t) The surface is then covered with a 50mm thick mortar screed laid to fall. PP micro fibre may be added to the cement mortar as reinforcement. u) Expansion joint 25mm x 50mm will be provided at 3.0m spacing and filled with approved bituminous compound 25mm x 25mm on bond breaker/ backing rod.

uPVC pipe accessories v) On satisfactory completion of all installation, vent cowls and rainwater outlets will be install taking care not to damage any surface.
