Call Greenstreak for specific recommendations/precautions for use of mechanical fasteners. Obviously if a waterproofing membrane is used, penetration of that membrane with mechanical fasteners would not be acceptable.
E. Furring Strips: Preservative-treated lumber. See Section 06100 - Rough Carpentry.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
NOTE ** Delete references to applications not required below.
A. Verify that indicated components of waterproofing system have been installed.
B. Verify that horizontal applications have sufficient slope to drain.
C. Verify that collection piping has sufficient slope to drain.
D. Verify that invert elevation of collection pipe is below construction joint in vertical subgrade structure.
E. Do not begin until substrates are dry, dew and frost free, and free of dust or other materials which prevent adhesion of sheet to substrate.
F. Submit written notification of unacceptable conditions or substrates.
3.2 INSTALLATION
A. Install geocomposite sheet to drain water to drains and/or piping indicated on drawings.
B. To splice, overlap two rows of dimples and mechanically interlock with rubber mallet. Lap excess fabric a minimum of 3 inches and secure as necessary with adhesive. Shingle laps in the direction of flow.
C. Face fabric towards hydrostatic source and face core towards subgrade structure.
D. Adhere geocomposite sheet to substrate using adhesive.
NOTE ** Consult Greentreak for use of mechanical fasteners. See note in Part 2 at furring strips. Delete the following paragraph if mechanical fasteners are not used.
E. Fasten geocomposite sheet to furring strips using mechanical fasteners, as recommended by manufacturer.
F. At terminations of geocomposite sheet, roll and tuck excess fabric to back of core to prevent intrusion of soils into core.
G. At subdrainage piping, lap additional sheet drain fabric over and around collection pipe. Place geocomposite sheet behind perimeter collection pipe.
H. Promptly cover sheet to protect from damage by wind and ultraviolet.
I. Repair tears and punctures in fabric with new filter fabric adhered over damaged area.
NOTE ** Be sure to include in the earthwork section a requirement that backfilling over geocomposite sheet must be performed in compacted lifts.
J. Verify that backfill is performed in compacted lifts. Sequence tall applications requiring bands of geocomposite sheet with backfill to accommodate vertical movement of sheet during compaction.
