PART 3 - Execution

3.1 CONSTRUCTION

3.1.1 Do masonry mortar and grout work in accordance with CSA A179 except where specified otherwise.

3.2 PREPARATION FOR NON-PORTLAND MORTAR

3.2.1 Pre-hydrate pointing mortar by mixing ingredients dry, then mix again adding just enough water to produce damp unworkable mix that will retain its form when pressed into ball. Allow to stand for not less than 1 hour and not more than 2 hours; then, remix with sufficient water to produce mortar of proper consistency for pointing.

3.3 PREPARATION OF HYDRAULIC LIME MORTAR

3.3.1 Prepare masonry boxes and equipment for mixing of mortar. Boxes should be of sufficient size to add the correct proportion of materials to create one batch of mortar based on the mixer size.

3.3.2 Thoroughly blend the materials, dry, in a mixer, gradually adding the hydraulic lime to ensure its complete and even distribution throughout the mix.

3.3.3 Add small measured quantities of water, mixing for approximately 2 minutes after each introduction of water. Add just sufficient water to produce a plastic mortar that will hang on the trowel.

3.3.4 After the introduction of water is completed, mix thoroughly for 5 minutes.

3.3.5 Allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes and then remix for a further 5 minutes.


3.3.6 Use mortar within 1 hour of mixing. Retemper as required by misting only to account for water loss through evaporation. Do not retemper or remix after 2 hours of mixing. Discard all remaining mortar at this time.

3.3.7 Thoroughly clean all mortar boards, measuring boxes and mixer between batches.

3.4 PREPARATION OF HYDRATED LIME MORTAR

3.4.1 Hydrated lime shall be mixed with water to form lime putty and allowed to sit a minimum of 7 days prior to its use.

3.4.2 Preparation of Roughage Premix (Lime Putty and Aggregates).

1. Prepare masonry boxes and equipment for mixing of mortar to ensure accurate proportioning of lime putty and aggregates.

2. Remove lime putty from bins and siphon off water through cheese cloth or other fine material to remove excess water.

3. Mix lime putty and aggregate thoroughly in mixer for a minimum of 10 minutes. If sand is damp, adjust for bulking.

4. Do not add water to mix

5. Roughage premix may be stored indefinitely if stored sealed from air and kept from freezing.

3.4.3 Do not add setting aid (cement, pozzolan, etc.) to roughage premix (lime and aggregate) until ready to use mortar.

3.4.4 Mix roughage premix for 10 minutes prior to adding setting aid.

3.4.5 Form setting aid into a slurry prior to adding to prevent ‘balling’ and add to roughage premix. Add only a minimal amount of water to create slurry.

3.4.6 Mortar should be stiff enough to hang on a trowel. If required, add a small amount of water. Excess water will result in a poor finished mortar due to excess shrinkage.

3.4.7 Mix mortar for a minimum of 10 minutes to improve the workability and ensure though mixing.

3.4.8 Use mortar within 2 hours of adding setting aid. Retemper as required by misting only to account for water loss through evaporation. Do not retemper or remix after 2 hours of mixing. Discard all remaining mortar at this time.

3.4.9 Thoroughly clean all mortar boards, measuring boxes and mixer between batches.

PART 3 - Execution

3.1 EXAMINATION

3.1.1 Before commencing work, verify that joint configuration and surfaces have been provided as specified under the work of other sections to meet intent of sealant specification, that joint conditions will not adversely affect execution, performance, or quality of completed work, and that they can be put into acceptable condition by means of preparation specified in this section. Verify site conditions together with manufacturer's representative of the sealant to be applied.

3.1.2 Inspect existing conditions and substrates upon which work of this section is dependent. Report to the Consultant in writing any defects or discrepancies. Commencement of work implies acceptance of existing conditions and assuming full responsibility for the finished condition of the work.

3.1.3 Ascertain that sealers applied to sealant substrates are compatible with the sealant used and that full bond between sealant and substrate is attained. Request samples of the sealed or coated substrate from their fabricators for testing of compatibility and bond if necessary.

3.1.4 Inspect sealant configuration for width and depth. Depth of joint should be 1/2 joint width with a minimum depth of 6 mm (1/4”) and a maximum depth of 13 mm (1/2”) unless specified otherwise. For fillet joints, a minimum of 6 mm (1/4”) adhesion between sealant and substrate must be achieved on both sides of the joint unless specified otherwise.

3.1.5 Defective work resulting from application to unsatisfactory joint conditions will be considered the responsibility of those performing the work of this section.

3.2 PROTECTION

3.2.1 Protect existing facades from staining or contamination.

3.2.2 Protect public from falling debris during installation.

3.2.3 At end of each day's work or when stoppage occurs due to inclement weather, provide protection for completed work and materials out of storage. At no time shall unsealed joints be left open. If protection is required, then the entire drop/bay shall be adequately protected.

3.3 SURFACE PREPARATION

3.3.1 Prepare surfaces in accordance with manufacturer's directions.

3.3.2 Before any sealant repairs are made, the type of existing sealant shall be determined. If uncertain as to type, a sealant manufacturer technical representative shall be contacted to confirm type. Only sealant compatible with the existing shall be installed as part of repairs. Polyurethane based sealants are not to be applied over existing silicone sealants.

3.3.3 Where existing, remove sealant completely. In no case shall new sealant be applied over old. In addition:



1. Remove existing sealants, dust, oil, grease, oxidation, mill scale, coatings and all other loose material by cutting, brushing, scrubbing, scraping and/or grinding. In no case, however, shall components be damaged during surface preparation.

2. Clean substrates with the recommended solvent cleaner. Apply solvent with a clean cloth, pad or soft paper towel. The applicator cloth or towel shall not leave fiber residue on the substrate surface. The surface should be wiped clean and dried with a second clean cloth to ensure removal of contaminants. If substrate surfaces is still not clean, repeat procedures as needed. Change cloths frequently to prevent depositing contaminants from the cloth onto the substrate surface.

3. Use method of surface preparation suitable for substrate, as recommended by sealant manufacturer and that does not damage existing finishes.

3.3.4 Examine joint sizes and conditions to establish correct depth to width relationship for installation of backup materials and sealants.

3.3.5 Do not apply sealants to joint surfaces treated with sealer, curing compound, water repellent, or other coatings unless tests have been performed to ensure compatibility of materials. Remove coatings as required.

3.3.6 Ensure joint surfaces are dry and frost free.

3.3.7 At crack locations to be sealed at the sill locations, use a concrete router to create a minimum 10 x 15 mm (3/8” x 5/8”) deep groove. Saw-cutting is not an acceptable alternative.

3.3.8 Remove loose particles present or resulting from routing by sweeping particles out with a dry brush, blowing out joints with oil free compressed air or by vacuuming joints prior to solvent cleaning.

3.3.9 Ensure drain holes in window frames are unobstructed and remove blocked drain holes.

3.5 BACKUP MATERIAL



3.5.1 Apply bond breaker tape where the installation of backer rod is not possible, three point adhesion needs to be eliminated or the throat to width ratio needs to be created as per manufacturers recommendations.

3.5.2 When using backing material comprised of tubular or rod stock, avoid lengthwise stretching of the material. Do not twist or braid backer material.

3.5.3 Provide a stiff blunt-surfaced wood or plastic installation tool, having shoulders designed to ride on the finished surface and a protrusion of the required dimensions to assure a uniform depth of backup material below the sealant.
