Contractor recommended by the waterproofing membrane manufacturer and approved by the Contracting Officer. 3.20 INVERTED ROOFING SYSTEM 3.2.1. Preparation of Substrate: 3.2.1.1. After completion and curing of roof screed, inspect condition of substrate to receive roofing system, and conditions under which work will be performed. Correct unsatisfactory conditions including inadequate provisions in substrate for bonding roofing. Do not proceed with roofing work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. Install cant strips, fillets, and accessory items as indicated, or as recommended by the manufacturer even though not shown on Drawings. Clean, prepare, and treat substrate according to manufacturer's written instructions. Provide clean, dust-free, and dry substrate for waterproofing application. Mask off adjoining surfaces not receiving waterproofing to prevent spillage affecting other construction. Remove grease, oil, bitumen, form release agents, paints, and other penetrating contaminants from concrete. Remove fins, ridges, mortar, and other projections and fill honeycomb, aggregate pockets, holes, and other voids. Prepare, fill, prime, and treat joints and cracks in substrate. Remove dust and dirt from joints and cracks according to ASTM D 4258. Prepare, treat, and seal vertical and horizontal surfaces at terminations and penetrations through waterproofing and at drains and protrusions.

Start laying of the roofing membrane from the lowest point when laid on a surface to falls to ensure weathered overlaps. 3.2.2.3. 3.2.3. 0 Test roof membrane after completion by flooding 75 mm water height for a period of 48 hours.

Insulation Installation: Comply with insulation manufacturer's written instruction for particular conditions of installation. Lay polyethylene sheet protection layer over waterproofing membrane prior to installation of insulation boards. Extended insulation full thickness over entire area to be insulated. Cut and fit tightly around obstructions and fill voids with insulation. Remove projection interfering with placement. Lay non-woven polyester fabric separation layer over insulation prior to installation of roof topping.
