PREFACE

We are indeed grateful to you for choosing us to fulfill your pre-engineered buildings requirement. We are fully aware that your choice brings to us a greater responsibility of ensuring that the buildings we deliver are not only in line with your expectations but also are maintained in top class condition.

This manual is an effort to fulfill your expectations. This manual will guide you on how to maintain and protect building year on year basis. This manual lays down guidance for inspection, adjustment, cleaning required to take care of the buildings. We recommend you to carryout periodic maintenance of the buildings to ensure trouble free usage and to extend buildings’ life span.

We also encourage you to develop a preventive maintenance plan for the buildings based on the guidelines given in this manual to achieve the objectives mentioned above.

Disclaimer:

This manual provides guidance about day to day maintenance of buildings and does not cover major maintenance work which should be carried by an authorized builder.

The frequency with which preventive maintenance activities should be carried out will depend on several factors including but not limited to environmental influences based on the location of the building, age and condition of the building, success of preventive maintenance program followed and nature of maintenance to be carried out.

The following table list recommended frequency of maintenance however frequency way vary in case of caveats noted above can be varied to suit particular environments based on local or practical experience.

The preventive maintenance schedule should be in effect immediately after a building is erected, modified or repaired.

We recommend that the maintenance activities should be performed in line with above frequencies with further guidance from technically qualified personnel. Additional inspections and maintenance may be required in case of exceptional circumstances such as severe or unusual storms.

We encourage you to keep maintenance records in details including information such as inspection dates and results, and the date and nature of any repairs made, If materials or equipment are purchased, add the receipts and warranty info to the file. Document any repairs or renovations with photos, contact information for all contractors, who performed the work.

* Buildings located in coastal areas, in high pollution industrial areas and in high humidity prone areas require more frequent maintenance due to exposure to corrosive elements. In addition, buildings used for activities such as indoor pools, animal confinement or activities that generate corrosive chemicals should have maintenance activities performed more frequently.

Maintenance Period

1. Within 5 km from the seashore * 3 months

2. High pollution industrial areas * 3 months

3. Medium pollution industrial areas 6 months

5. Areas with high humidity * 6 months

4. Low pollution industrial areas 9 months

6. Dry, desert areas 12 months

The most basic maintenance step is inspection. Inspect the building at least twice a year, to look for any damage or changes that may have occurred. Also, conduct inspection after a project is erected, modified, repaired, or after an extreme weather event:

• Inspection to conduct after unusual weather conditions, such as very high winds or unusually heavy rains.

Items to check for after high winds include: Debris from nearby trees, loose flashing or other roof components, punctures from falling limbs or loose flashing, and loose fasteners. After a hail storm, check roof for punctures, damaged trim and loose fasteners. After abnormally heavy rains, check roof and gutters for ponding water. Also check all roof curbs, roof penetrations and any special trim conditions to ensure that water is not ponding upslope from these areas. Check trim and plumbing pipes for damage from storm. Check for loose fasteners at trim and end laps. Replace stripped-out fasteners by removing existing fastener; apply urethane sealant into hole; install an oversize, long-life fastener into hole.

• Inspections to conduct after construction on or above the roof or adjacent areas.Inspect the roof for damage caused by workers including chemical or solvent spills, scratches in the paint or Galvalume coating, excessive foot traffic and punctures. Make sure that any debris or scrap left behind by the workers is removed from the roof immediately. Avoid using cutoff saws and welding equipment over the roof. In cases where this is not possible, the roof must be adequately protected. A fire cloth is recommended. Items such as drill shavings, wire, metal scrap and other debris can corrode and damage the roof. Sharp pieces of metal, such as those left by a nibbler, can stick in a worker’s shoes and scratch the paint as they walk on the roof.

INSPECTION

Take a walk around the perimeter of your building and check:

9

The building exterior

• Wall panel: check if any scratches, dents, finish, blemishes

• Fasteners: check if all are in place and well seated

• Flashings: check if all are in place

• Downspouts: check if all are in place, free of debris and well-drained

• Doors & windows: check if all are functional

Inside the building

• Columns: check if all are in good shape and bolted down

• Girts & flange braces: check if all are in their appropriate places

• Rods: check if all are under tension or loose

• The rafters & interior columns: there should be no gaps between the connection plates. Check to ensure that the interior columns are in good shape.

Roof• The gutters & downspouts: check if all are free of debris and well drained

• The fasteners: check if all are in place and well seated

• The flashings: check if all are in place at all locations

Insulation

Insulation is one of the most important components for maintaining a proper temperature within your building. Damaged or weakened insulation can allow moisture to build up in your steel structure, as well dramatically decreasing the effectiveness of your building's cooling and heating system driving up energy costs. Insulation that is wet, torn or damaged in any way will allow moisture to seep into your building and condense in the insulation decreasing its effectiveness and also potentially causing rust buildup.

10

SAFETY FIRSTWalking on any roof is dangerous. Safety must always be top priority when performing maintenance on your roof system. Use extreme caution when walking on roofs with steep slopes, near roof edges, or on roofs that are wet.

Ensure that all maintenance personnel are adequately trained in safety procedures and that all safety equipment are in proper working condition. When performing roof maintenance, always take the following precautions:

ROOF MAINTENANCE

1 3

Do not step on Skylights, roof flashings such as gutter, rake, hip or ridge. They will not support a person’s weight.

5

Only use steel / aluminum ladders, which are long enough to reach one metre above the step off point.

4 Use fall protection and other safety equipment as required.

Walk along the purlin lines.

2 Always secure the ladder to the building and make sure it is on a firm base.

FOOT TRAFFIC

11

Keep foot traffic to a minimum. Heavy foot traffic can cause ponding on low pitched roofs.

1. Do not step on the high rib of the panel. Stepping on high ribs (high corrugations) can damage the sheets.

2. Avoid stepping on the ridge caps

3. Avoid stepping on the lap joints in roof panels and flashings

4. Avoid walking near roof curbs, power ventilators or other roof penetrations.

5. Do not allow more than two persons on the roof at a time that too they should avoid being together.

In order to limit access to the roof, roof hatches or access ladders should be locked at all times. A sign should be posted at the point of access, stating that only authorized personnel are allowed onto the roof. In addition, a log book should be kept of all visits to the roof and the reason for such visits.

When walking on the roof, do not step on the high rib of the panel. Stepping on high ribs (high corrugations) can damage the sheets.

plumbers, air conditioning technicians and steel erectors. At least once in a year, clean the roof & gutters of leaves or other debris which can trap or pond water on the roof.

DEBRIS

Check for any debris that may have been left on top of panel or trim after a project is erected, modified or repaired. Examples of this are ferrous items such as Screws, Pop rivets, Nails, Drill Swarf, Sheet metal off-cuts, tin cans, etc., Large or heavy items should be removed by hand to avoid damaging the paint or zinc layer on the panel. The remaining smaller items may be swept-off with a soft nylon brush. Please note this check should be made after any agency has worked on the building e.g. electricians,

Walk the eaves of the building and not to get to close to the edges. Make sure all gutters and downspouts are clean and free of debris. Look for any missing or broken fasteners, overlapping cinch straps. Any fasteners was not fastened properly will work itself out eventually. Replace any loose fasteners with the next larger fastener size.

EAVES

12

ROOF MAINTENANCE

Check for sand or dirt build up. These retain salt and moisture and will rapidly breakdown the paint and zinc layers resulting in corrosion of the base metal.

Sand and dirt should be washed off with clean potable water and a soft nylon brush. Clean from top to bottom and give a final rinse with potable water when completed. Ensure no water is trapped anywhere.

If the building is in an area of high industrial pollution or close to marine environment then water alone may not be enough. Salts and other deposits build up at the formed corners of panels will quickly breakdown the paint and zinc layers and finally corrode the base metal. As such deposits build up, the hardness of the layer increases making removal more difficult. In these cases, the period between maintenance operations should be shortened and a mild detergent should be added to the initial washing water.

The following is a suggested proportion of the solution to be used for cleaning:

• 1 /3 cup detergent (e.g. Tide)

• 2/3 cup tri-sodium phosphate (e.g. Soilex)

• 1 quart sodium hypochlorite - 5% solution (e.g. Clorox)

• 3 quarts water

Wash down the panel with the above solution and a soft nylon brush. A final rinse with clean potable water should follow.

Caulking compounds, oil, grease, tar wax, or similar substances can be removed with mineral spirits. Follow this by cleaning with the detergent solution and clean potable water rinse.

1. Check the base of wall panels to ensure the ground Level is at least 150 mm below the bottom of the panel. If sand has built up at the base of the wall due to wind, it should be removed. If plants / shrubs etc., are around the building, make sure they are not touching the wall panel, particularly thorn-type bushes.

2. Check all equipment, which is located through or adjacent to any panel (Roof or wall). Ensure there is no moisture build up on or near the panel. With moisture built up corrosion may start. If this happens take suitable actions by modifying the system to prevent corrosion.

The following situations are examples of conditions to be avoided:

• Water run-off from water services or air-conditioners

• Copper/Aluminium pipes fastened directly to the steel panel.

• Open water storage tanks or ponds adjacent to the panel.

• Steam outlets adjacent to the panels.

• Acid storage areas adjacent to the panels

• Usage of humidifiers

ROOF CLEANING

13

On the occasion where a building or home owner chooses to field paint their metal roof or wall panels, use the following guidelines:

1. Lightly scuff sand the finish with Scotchbrite pads.

2. Power wash the surface to be painted with a 5% solution in water of commonly used commercial (non-industrial, nonbleach) detergents to remove protective wax as well as dust, dirt and grease. Pressure should not exceed 2,000 PSI. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and allow to dry.

3. Acrylic Latex exterior paint is preferred to oil based paint. Apply according to manufacturer’s instructions. If the original finish is compromised and the metallic substrate is exposed, then a quality epoxy or urethane primer must be applied before the color finish coat.

4. High quality oil base paints may be used only if they contain mineral spirits. Do not use any paint designated “rust inhibitive.” Paints of this type may cause the baked-on finish to peel.

5. Do not paint in direct sunlight or when part surface is warm to the touch. Lap marks will result. Brush application is recommended.

FIELD PAINTING/MAJOR REPAIR

Precaution: DO NOT USE touch-up paint over broad areas. Touch-up paints will not have the same color retention capabilities as the thermally cured factory applied coating. Long term differential fading between the two coatings will be much more apparent if the touch-up paint is not applied properly.

TOUCH-UP/REPAIR OF MINOR DAMAGE If minor damage occurs to the sheeting or trims, and paint touch-up is required, then the following procedure should be followed:

a. Abrade the affected area

b. Clean down with a solvent (e.g. Sigma 9053)

c. If base metal is exposed, apply one coat of a zinc chromate primer. If base metal is not exposed then the primer is not required.

d. Apply one coat of touch up paint.

CAUTION: Please ensure that there are no harmful chemicals like Chlorine, SO2 in the vicinity of the building, either in Gas or liquid form, which will react with the Galvalume roof sheets and corrodes the Roof and wall sheets.

14

Never allow workers to “fix” leaks by applying caulk, elastomeric membranes, plastic roof cement, etc. to the roof surface. This is never a long-term solution for repairing a leak. Surface applied caulks and compounds will eventually lose their bond to the metal. This will allow water to become trapped between the repaired material and the roof panel, which will cause severe corrosion. Leaks at panel or trim joints should be repaired by disassembling the metal joint and reinstalling the proper sealant between the metal layers. Leaks caused by roof punctures must be evaluated on an individual basis.

In some cases, the affected roof panel may need to be replaced.

Always consult the roof manufacturer before initiating repair work as improper repairs can lead to further leaks and/or damage to the roof system. The manufacturer can give you helpful information as to how to make the repair and can provide you a list of “Certified Installers” in your area that you can contact about performing the repair work in the event your original installer is not available to perform the necessary work.

LEAK REPAIRS

DRAINAGE

In order for your roof to perform as intended, water must properly drain from the roof. Following are things to avoid:

Do not allow anything to be installed on your roof that will cause water to pond.

Keep roof free of debris and keep debris out of gutter to allow water to quickly drain from roof.

Do not use wood blocking to hold equipment off panel seams. This blocks the flow of water and holds moisture. Do not use wood that is treated, it may contain salts or copper sulfate which will deteriorate the roof.

Do not allow water to cascade onto the roof from an adjacent roof.

Do not allow rooftop AC units or evaporative coolers to drain onto the roof. The condensate from AC units contains dissolved copper ions which will cause galvanic corrosion. The water from evaporative coolers contains high salt concentrations which will cause severe corrosion. Use PVC pipe to carry the condensate to the gutter.

Anything that traps or holds moisture on a roof will cause premature corrosion.

ROOF MAINTENANCE

All additions to the roof, including but not limited to: roof curbs, pipe penetrations and HVAC units should be consulted with the manufacturer prior to installation in order to verify if special requirements

apply for any applicable roof warranty. In certain warranty applications, specific materials must be used and work performed by a “Certified Installer.”

ADDITIONS TO ROOF

STRUCTURAL STEEL

All structural steel designed, detailed and provided is an integral part of building system order and must be installed per the manufactures instruction. Any modification to the structural system must be

reported to Kirby’s Quality Assurance & Control representatives. For many reasons, no change can be made without the prior approval of Kirby.

MODIFICATION

The structure of your building has been designed to the specific load criteria by Kirby’s engineering center. Any changes or modifications to your structure which add additional loads may affect the buildings load capacity. Before hanging any items from the buildings framing or adding any additional

loads to the roof contacts your builder. Any additional loads placed on the structure or hung from the roof which deforms the purlins or other structural components may seriously impair the structural integrity of the building and create dangerous conditions.

ADDING LOADS

Structural steel normally requires no maintenance except in the event of oxidation. If the structural steel is intended to be left in an un-painted state,

clean the affected area and re-prime using the primer as supplied by the manufacturer to spot treat or touch-up.

PRIMER TOUCH-UP

The bracing provided with your structure is of significant structural importance. All bracing which is in place after the erection of the building should remain in place. Never allow removal of any bracing

by any contractor or maintenance personnel.

Tension: check annually to insure that all bracing members are under tension.

BRACE RODS

CRANE SYSTEMSCrane systems require constant maintenance.

a. Every 3 months check that diagonal rod bracing is tight.

b. After one month of operation checks that the high strength bolts on the crane beams are tight.

c. Every six month check the high strength bolts in the crane beams and mainframe connections.

Caution: When maintaining overhead cranes or associated parts, immobilize the crane before commencing work.

ACCESSORIES

Windows, Louvers, Ventilators and doors should be checked yearly for loosing fasteners and any moving parts should be lubricated as necessary.

Accumulations of dirt on a roof can easily conceal the location of a skylight. As a result, it is highly recommended that each person planning to go on the roof review the roof framing plan drawing which is part of the erection drawings for your building to identify the locations of rafters and purlins and “as-built” skylights. An up to date copy of the roof framing plan drawing that accurately shows the locations of skylights should be kept readily available and carefully reviewed by everyone who will be on the roof - BEFORE they go on the roof.

Maintenance:

Skylights should be cleaned periodically to allow for maximum light penetration and longevity. Depending on your building’s location, it may be necessary for these panels to be cleaned on a more frequent basis. If the Skylights are severely deteriorated, replacement should be considered.

To maintain good appearance and long life, Skylights should be hosed down or washed periodically. Cleaning removes the accumulation of dust, dirt and debris which can combine with

sunlight and wind to attack exposed surfaces, both chemically and abrasively. When cleaning these panels mild, non-abrasive cleaning compounds should be used. Avoid the use of compounds containing ammonia or chlorine since they may cause panel discoloration.

Skylights are not made to support concentrated loads such as foot traffic. Skylights are designed to allow natural light into a building, yet they are capable with proper installation and maintenance of resisting wind and snow loads. Stepping on Skylights could cause the panel to collapse causing the person to fall and sustain serious injury.

SKYLIGHTS

WINDOWSWindows usually require very little maintenance. Lubricate the window track, clear sill drain holes and inspect sealant at top and sides of windows. Check for and repair any air and water leaks at windows and overhead doors. Remove all old caulking and apply new caulking as required.

LOUVERS ROLL-UP-DOORS

a. Clean and lubricate chain and reduction drive gears every two months.

b. Lightly grease the vertical guides every 4 months.

c. Operate with caution.

Check operation of louvers and repair or replace as needed. The operating hardware within a louver occasionally need to be cleaned and a new light coat of oil or grease applied. This will improve the ease of operation.

Visually inspect gutters for accumulation of debris that would prevent gutters, downspouts from operating properly. Clean out all accumulated debris regularly using a water hose with sufficient pressure to flush dirt and small debris. Larger items such as rocks, cans, limbs and heavy accumulations of leaves or pine needles should be removed by hand. It is recommended that suitable gloves be worn. Gutter obstructions can cause dirt to build up which holds moisture that can cause premature rusting and allow standing water to accumulate on the roof that may result in a leak through an improperly sealed side lap or end lap. Blocked downspouts can produce the same results if they are not allowed to drain freely. The weight of accumulated debris in a gutter could exceed the load-carrying capacity of the gutter and gutter

support clips and cause the gutter to fall. Check for and repair any loose connections.

When working on or inspecting gutters, downspouts and/or scuppers, be aware of safety issues in doing so including but not limited to: falling from the roof and injuries from using a high-pressure hose for cleaning.

GUTTERS & DOWNSPOUTS

18

ACCESSORIES

The top of the ventilator will usually have an insect screen that prevents making adjustments or repairs to the interior of the ventilator without removing the ventilator. Maintenance or repair activities to the operational components inside the ventilator will require accessing the unit from below, inside the building or removing the ventilator and turning the ventilator over to gain access. If a ventilator is removed for maintenance, be sure to properly mark and cover the opening in the roof where the ventilator was removed to prevent a fall hazard.

Vents that do not have moving parts will require very little maintenance. Ventilators containing moving parts such as pulleys, rollers or cranks for flue operation will require periodic lubrication at pivot points. Simple operation from time to time will aid in breaking corrosion loose.

Safety concerns when working on a ridge ventilator include but are not limited to: falling from the roof and possible electrical shock hazards if the ventilator includes an electrically operated fan. Make sure to use proper fall protection and tie-off when working in an elevated location and that the electric power to any electrical equipment is turned off and properly locked-out or tagged-out before maintenance is performed.

RIDGE VENTILATORS

POWER VENTS

a. Periodically clean the blades to avoid build-up of dust and dirt.

b. Grease the bearing of vent

c. Check curbs if any area has opened up. Seal this with structural silicon.

Regular cleaning of the bottom door guide by removal of stones and sand will ensure smooth running. Ensure Bottom Guide roller is in place to avoid shutter lifting during heavy winds. Lubricate the rollers to help assure ease of use.

SLIDING DOORS

INSULATION

Cautions: Although we are not aware of any long-term health related concerns with fiberglass insulation, you should always wear protective clothing such as long sleeves, long pants, gloves, eye protection when working with insulation.

Check for wet or damaged insulation periodically. Wet or damaged insulation transfers heat, whether from the heating system in winter or from the sun in summer, which is not only costly but also uncomfortable for the people in your building which may reduce their productivity. If left unattended wet insulation will cause panel and component corrosion. All wet insulation should be removed and replaced or otherwise opened and allowed to dry fully.

Insulation backing, which is usually white vinyl or foil, can allow moisture (water vapor) inside the building to move directly through the insulation. This process can cause condensation within the insulation causing the insulation to be less effective and on the inside surface of the roof and wall panels causing the panels to deteriorate. Pressure

sensitive tapes with an exposed side that matches the facing used on the insulation are available from most insulation suppliers for use in repairing a torn vapor retarder.

Pockets of extremely moist air in the building can also cause condensation problems. The following procedures will help or possibly eliminate the problem:

1. Seal small tears in the water vapor retarder with vinyl tape.

2. Replace large areas of damaged insulation.

3. Install fans or air exchange units to disperse pockets of moisture-laden air.

4. Eliminate the source of high moisture in the building.

FINISHES

CLEANING AFTER THE ERECTION OF THE BUILDING

The high quality paint finishes used on the roof and wall panels will maintain their appearance and protective value for a long time if properly maintained. Improperly maintained panels will accumulate dirt and film deposits over time causing the panels to lose their original appearance; to prevent this it is important to establish a proper maintenance program to keep the finishes in prime condition.

The most important cleaning is done immediately after the erection of the building, as metal shavings are present and are somewhat magnetized because of the screw and drill rotation. Shavings are not always visible and must be swept off the roof and walls to prevent corrosion of the particles, which will stain the panel surface.

Under normal conditions, fresh water washing two (2) or three (3) times per year using a regular garden hose under pressure will keep the paint finish in good condition. If the need to clean or remove

surface deposits does arise, then a variety of methods may be utilized. When used properly, the following should not affect applicable panel warranty.

1. Hot or Cold Detergent Solutions

For use on water soluble deposits: A 5% solution in water of commonly used commercial (non-industrial, non-bleach) detergents will not have any deleterious effect on a painted surface. These solutions should be followed by an adequate rinse of water. Use a cloth or soft bristle brush for application.

2. Solvents/Alcohol

For use on non-water soluble deposits such as tar, grease, oil and adhesives: Most organic solvents are flammable and/or toxic and must be handled accordingly. Keep away from open flames, sparks and electrical motors. Use adequate ventilation, protective clothing and goggles.

Solvents

VM&P naphtha

Mineral Spirits

Kerosene

Turpentine (wood or gum spirits)

Denatured alcohol (Ethanol)

Isopropyl (rubbing alcohol)

Alcohols

Precautions: Do not use wire brushes, abrasives or similar cleaning tools which will mechanically abrade the coating surface. Misuse or abuse of any of the cleaning agents listed above will result in voiding of any applicable warranty for the surface affected. Graffiti presents a special problem because of the many possible agents used generally aerosol paint. It is best to try soap and water first, then the solvents. If none of these are satisfactory it may be necessary to resort to touch-up, repaint or replacement.

MAINTENANCE RECORD

Pre-ngineered Buildings Maintenance Record

The best preventive maintenance that one can do is to perform scheduled annual inspections to identify and solve problem as they occur. This will help to optimize the service life of building, keep the building aesthetically pleasing, functional, and virtual weather tight to protect your products, your facilities. This inspection will require a critical examination of both the interior and exterior components of existing assemblies, cladding, doors, windows, cranes etc. Keeping a log of your maintenance work will help you maintain a good schedule as well as document what steps were taken and when.
