ant including dust paints (except for permanent protective coatings tested and approved for seal-
ant adhesion and compatibility by sealant manufacturer) old joint sealants oil grease waterproof-
ing water repellents water surface dirt and frost
2 Clean porous joint substrate surfaces by brushing grinding blast cleaning mechanical abrading
or a combination of these methods to produce a clean sound substrate capable of developing op-
timum bond with joint sealants Remove loose particles remaining from above cleaning operations
by vacuuming or blowing out joints with oil-free compressed air Porous joint surfaces include the
following
a Concrete
b Masonry
3 Remove laitance and form-release agents from concrete
4 Clean nonporous surfaces with chemical cleaners or other means that do not stain harm substrates
or leave residues capable of interfering with adhesion of joint sealants
B Joint Priming Prime joint substrates where recommended in writing by joint sealant manufacturer based
on preconstruction joint-sealant-substrate tests or prior experience Apply primer to comply with joint
sealant manufacturers written instructions Confine primers to areas of joint-sealant bond do not allow
spillage or migration onto adjoining surfaces
C Masking Tape Use nonstaining masking tape where required to prevent contact of sealant with adjoining
surfaces that otherwise would be permanently stained or damaged by such contact or by cleaning methods
required to remove sealant smears Remove tape immediately after tooling without disturbing joint seal
303 INSTALLATION OF JOINT SEALANTS
A General Comply with joint sealant manufacturers written installation instructions for products and appli-
cations indicated unless more stringent requirements apply
B Sealant Installation Standard Comply with recommendations of ASTM C 1193 for use of joint sealants
as applicable to materials applications and conditions indicated

SAR WWTP Substation No 1 Replacement 07920- Page 5 of 6 Joint Sealants MWM DesignGroup Inc TBPE Firm MWM-1416
C Install sealant backings of type indicated to support sealants during application and at position required to
produce cross-sectional shapes and depths of installed sealants relative to joint widths that allow optimum
sealant movement capability
1 Do not leave gaps between ends of sealant backings
2 Do not stretch twist puncture or tear sealant backings
3 Remove absorbent sealant backings that have become wet before sealant application and replace
them with dry materials
D Install bond-breaker tape behind sealants where sealant backings are not used between sealants and back
of joints
E Install sealants by proven techniques to comply with the following and at the same time backings are in-
stalled
1 Place sealants so they directly contact and fully wet joint substrates
2 Completely fill recesses provided for each joint configuration
3 Produce uniform cross-sectional shapes and depths relative to joint widths that allow optimum
sealant movement capability
F Tooling of Nonsag Sealants Immediately after sealant application and before skinning or curing begins
tool sealants according to requirements specified below to form smooth uniform beads of configuration
indicated to eliminate air pockets and to ensure contact and adhesion of sealant with sides of joint
1 Remove excess sealants from surfaces adjacent to joint
2 Use tooling agents that are approved in writing by sealant manufacturer and that do not discolor
sealants or adjacent surfaces
3 Provide concave joint configuration per Figure 5A in ASTM C 1193 unless otherwise indicated
a Use masking tape to protect adjacent surfaces of recessed tooled joints
304 CLEANING
A Clean off excess sealants or sealant smears adjacent to joints as the Work progresses by methods and with
cleaning materials approved in writing by manufacturers of joint sealants and of products in which joints
occur
305 PROTECTION
A Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating substances and from
damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so sealants are without deterioration or
damage at time of Substantial Completion If despite such protection damage or deterioration occurs cut
out and remove damaged or deteriorated joint sealants immediately so installations with repaired areas
are indistinguishable from the original work

PART 3 - EXECUTION
301 EXAMINATION
A Examine substrates areas and conditions with the Applicator present under which painting will be per-
formed for compliance with paint application requirements
1 Do not begin to apply paint until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected and surfaces re-
ceiving paint are thoroughly dry
2 Start of painting will be construed as the Applicators acceptance of surfaces and conditions within
a particular area
B Coordination of Work Review other Sections in which primers are provided to ensure compatibility of
the total system for various substrates
302 PREPARATION
A General Remove hardware and hardware accessories plates machined surfaces lighting fixtures and
similar items already installed that are not to be painted If removal is impractical or impossible because
of the size or weight of the item provide surface-applied protection before surface preparation and paint-
ing
1 After completing painting operations in each space or area reinstall items removed using workers
skilled in the trades involved
B Cleaning Before applying paint or other surface treatments clean the substrates of substances that could
impair the bond of the various coatings Remove oil and grease before cleaning
1 Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not
fall on wet newly painted surfaces
C Surface Preparation Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturers written instruc-
tions for each particular substrate condition and as specified
1 Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime
2 Ferrous Metals Clean ungalvanized ferrous-metal surfaces that have not been shop coated re-
move oil grease dirt loose mill scale and other foreign substances Use solvent or mechanical
cleaning methods that comply with the Steel Structures Painting Councils (SSPC) recommenda-
tions
a Treat bare and sandblasted or pickled clean metal with a metal treatment wash coat before
priming
462018
SAR WWTP Substation No 1 Replacement 09900- Page 5 of 8 Painting MWM DesignGroup Inc TBPE Firm MWM-1416
b Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been damaged Wire-brush
clean with solvents recommended by paint manufacturer and touch up with the same pri-
mer as the shop coat
3 Galvanized Surfaces Clean galvanized surfaces with nonpetroleum-based solvents so surface is
free of oil and surface contaminants Remove pretreatment from galvanized sheet metal fabricated
from coil stock by mechanical methods
D Materials Preparation Mix and prepare paint materials according to manufacturers written instructions
1 Maintain containers used in mixing and applying paint in a clean condition free of foreign materi-
als and residue
2 Stir material before application to produce a mixture of uniform density Stir as required during
application Do not stir surface film into material If necessary remove surface film and strain ma-
terial before using
3 Use only thinners approved by paint manufacturer and only within recommended limits
303 APPLICATION
A General Apply paint according to manufacturers written instructions Use applicators and techniques
best suited for substrate and type of material being applied
1 Paint colors surface treatments and finishes are indicated in the schedules
2 Do not paint over dirt rust scale grease moisture scuffed surfaces or conditions detrimental to
formation of a durable paint film
3 Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used
4 The term exposed surfaces includes areas visible when permanent or built-in fixtures are in
place Extend coatings in these areas as required
5 Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar exposed surfaces Be-
fore the final installation of equipment paint surfaces behind permanently fixed equipment or fur-
niture with prime coat only
6 Paint interior surfaces of ducts with a flat nonspecular black paint where visible through registers
or grilles
7 Finish exterior doors on tops bottoms and side edges the same as exterior faces
B Scheduling Painting Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned pretreated or otherwise pre-
pared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before subsequent surface deterioration
1 The number of coats and the film thickness required are the same regardless of application meth-
od Do not apply succeeding coats until the previous coat has cured as recommended by the manu-
facturer If sanding is required to produce a smooth even surface according to manufacturers
written instructions sand between applications
2 Omit primer on metal surfaces that have been shop primed and touchup painted
3 If undercoats stains or other conditions show through final coat of paint apply additional coats
until paint film is of uniform finish color and appearance Give special attention to ensure edges
corners crevices welds and exposed fasteners receive a dry film thickness equivalent to that of
flat surfaces
4 Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying Do not recoat surfaces un-
til paint has dried to where it feels firm does not deform or feel sticky under moderate thumb
pressure and where application of another coat of paint does not cause the undercoat to lift or lose
adhesion

ufacturer for the material and texture required
3 Spray Equipment Use airless spray equipment with orifice size as recommended by the manufac-
turer for the material and texture required
D Minimum Coating Thickness Apply paint materials no thinner than manufacturers recommended spread-
ing rate Provide the total dry film thickness of the entire system as recommended by the manufacturer
E Prime Coats Before applying finish coats apply a prime coat of material as recommended by the manu-
facturer to material that is required to be painted or finished and that has not been prime coated by others
Recoat primed and sealed surfaces where evidence of suction spots or unsealed areas in first coat appears
to ensure a finish coat with no burn through or other defects due to insufficient sealing
F Pigmented (Opaque) Finishes Completely cover surfaces as necessary to provide a smooth opaque sur-
face of uniform finish color appearance and coverage Cloudiness spotting holidays laps brush marks
runs sags ropiness or other surface imperfections will not be acceptable
G Transparent (Clear) Finishes Use multiple coats to produce a glass-smooth surface film of even luster
Provide a finish free of laps runs cloudiness color irregularity brush marks orange peel nail holes or
other surface imperfections
