SECTION 07110

SHEET MEMBRANE WATERPROOFING

(Cold Region Pile Application)

[PART 1: GENERAL]{.underline}

1.1 SUMMARY:

A. Section Includes: Furnishing and installing polyethylene-film
sheeting around piles to function as a bond break, and bellows with
worm-drive hose clamps to prevent dirt and debris from interfering with
the turnbuckle leveling device.

1.2 REFERENCES:

A. American Society for Testing and Materials

ASTM D 882-91 Tensile Properties of Thin Plastic Sheeting

ASTM D 2582-92 Puncture-Propagation Tear Resistance of Plastic Film and
Thin Sheeting

1.03 SUBMITTALS:

A. General: Submittals shall be according to Section 01009 ‑ General
Information and Requirements.

B. Manufacturer\'s Literature: Submit five copies of the manufacturer\'s
descriptive data for polyethylene-film sheeting and bellows. Data which
describes more than one type shall be clearly marked to indicate which
type the Contractor intends to provide. Data shall be sufficient to show
conformance to specified requirements.

C. Certificates of Conformance: Prior to delivery of materials, submit
five copies of certificates from the manufacturer attesting that
materials, except for those specified to bear markings or statements,
meet the requirements specified.

1.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE:

A. Manufacturers: Polyethylene-film sheeting shall be manufactured by a
firm with a minimum of 5 years experience in the production of sheet
membrane waterproofing.

B. Failure Criteria: Not limited to the following:

1\. Unraveling or unwrapping of polyethylene-film sheeting prior to or
during placement of sand slurry.

2\. Tearing or puncturing of polyethylene-film sheeting prior to or
during placement of sand slurry.

3\. Puncture, tearing or ripping of bellows prior to or during erection
of kiosk.

1.5 DELIVERY, STORAGE AND HANDLING:

A. Deliver materials and products in labeled packages.

B. Store and handle materials in accordance with manufacturer\'s
instructions.

C. Protect polyethylene-film sheeting from damage from sunlight,
weather, excessive temperatures and construction operations.

[PART 2: PRODUCTS]{.underline}

2.1 MATERIALS:

A. Polyethylene-Film Sheeting: Shall be a 4-mil reinforced, woven,
polyethylene-film sheeting that is black in color, non-absorbent, rot
and mildew-proof. It shall be able to withstand a temperature of -60E F,
have a tear strength of 25/30 psi per ASTM D 2582 and a tensile strength
of 110/85 psi in all directions per ASTM D 882.

B. Bellows: Shall be of a flexible polyurethane that is .010-inch thick,
black in color and have a high resistance to ozone, chemicals, petroleum
products, ultraviolet and gamma rays. They shall have high abrasion
resistance and tensile strength at a temperature range of -60E F to 225E
F. Bellows shall have a 1/2-inch cuff on each end to accommodate the
hose clamp, have a 24-inch extended length and be compressible to 2
inches.

C. Hose Clamps: Shall have a 1/2-inch wide stainless-steel band with a
5/16-inch slotted hex head stainless-steel screw. The diameter range
shall be 2 13/16-inch to 3 3/4-inch.

[PART 3: EXECUTION]{.underline}

3.1 PREPARATION:

A. Piles: Shall be clean, dry to the touch, free from frost, moisture,
grease, oil, wax, or other foreign matter that would destroy or impair
adhesion of the polyethylene-film sheeting.

B. Turnbuckles: Shall be clean, dry, free from dirt, grease, or other
foreign matter that would destroy or impair future movement and
operation prior to installation of bellows.

3.2 INSTALLATION:

A. Polyethylene-film sheeting: Shall be wrapped around the top four feet
of each pile four times immediately before each pile is lowered into the
shaft which has been augured.

B. Bellow and Hose Clamps: Shall be installed in the welding shop if
heat-sealed bellows are used or after field welding of the column to the
bottom plate if spilt bellows are used. Care should be taken not to melt
the bellows. Hose clamps should be installed on both ends to reduce dirt
or debris infiltration and tampering.

[PART 4: MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT]{.underline}

4.1 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT:

A. Units: The work described in this section will not be measured for
payment.

4.2 BASIS OF PAYMENT:

A. Payment: No direct payment for the work described under this section
will be made. The Contractor shall include consideration for this item
in the bid price for the other items of the contract.
