PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Verify areas to receive fencing. Do not proceed with preparation or installation until unacceptable conditions have been corrected have been prepared using the methods recommended by the manufacturer and deviations from manufacturer's recommended tolerances are corrected. Commencement of installation constitutes acceptance of conditions.

B. If preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of deviations from manufacturer's recommended installation tolerances and conditions.

3.2 INSTALLATION

A. Installation of Fences and Gates: Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, approved submittals and in proper relationship with adjacent construction at locations indicated on the Drawings.1. Install gates level, plumb, and secure for full opening without interference. Attach

hardware using tamper-resistant or concealed means. Install ground-set items in concrete for anchorage. Adjust gate to operate smoothly, easily, and quietly throughout entire operational range. Confirm that latches and locks engage accurately and securely without forcing or binding.

2. Install fencing to withstand wind load as specified.3. Space posts at dimensions indicated on Drawings.4. Attach fence rails to posts using panel hanger brackets or nylon face mount brackets

supplied by manufacturer.5. Handle fence components to protect finish coating from any scuffs, abrasion or other

damage during installation. Excessive damage to factory applied coatings will be cause for rejection.

6. Avoid unnecessary cutting, drilling and welding of pre-finished fence components. If necessary to cut drill, weld or otherwise modify product due to field conditions.

7. Field welding of panels to posts is unacceptable as it will cause significant damage to the galvanizing and powder coat protective finishes.

B. Installation of Concrete Footings:1. Place concrete around posts and vibrate or tamp for consolidation.2. Verify that posts are set plumb, aligned, and at correct height and spacing, and

stabilized in position during placement and finishing operations until concrete is sufficiently cured.

3. Protect portion of posts above ground from concrete splatter.

3.3 CLEANING AND PROTECTION

A. Clean and protect products in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

B. Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.1. Touch-up any necessary areas by lightly sanding; apply a zinc-rich cold galvanizing

primer followed by a high quality acrylic lacquer paint to match finish.2. Touch-up paint available from manufacturer.

C. Level uneven areas due to excavations created by fence installations.
