1. Welding Standards:  As follows:

a. Comply with AWS D1.2, "Structural Welding Code--Aluminum."
b. Comply with AWS D1.3, "Structural Welding Code--Sheet Steel."
c. Certify that each welder has satisfactorily passed AWS qualification tests for welding processes involved and, if pertinent, has undergone recertification. SMACNA Standard:  Comply with SMACNA's "Architectural Sheet Metal Manual" recommendations for fabrication, construction details, and installation procedures.

1.6       PROJECT CONDITIONS

  1. Field Measurements:  Verify actual supporting and adjoining construction by field measurements before fabrication; and indicate recorded measurements on final Shop Drawings.  Coordinate construction to ensure that sun control assemblies fit properly to supporting and adjoining construction and coordinate schedule with construction progress to avoid delaying the work.
  2. Established Dimensions:  Where field measurements cannot be made without delaying the work, verify dimensions and proceed with fabricating of sun control assemblies without field measurements.  Coordinate construction to ensure that sun control assemblies             correspond to established dimensions.

B.   Use concealed anchorages where possible.  Provide stainless steel/neoprene washers fitted to screws where required to protect metal surfaces and to make a weather tight connection.

C. Form closely fitted joints with exposed connections accurately located and secured.

D.  Repair finishes damaged by cutting, welding, soldering, and grinding.  Restore finishes so no evidence remains of corrective work.  Return items that cannot be refinished in the field to the factory, make required alterations, and refinish entire unit or provide new units.

E. Keep aluminum surfaces from direct contact with ferrous metal or other incompatible materials by applying one coat of clear acrylic coating.

3.3       CLEANING AND PROTECTING

Clean exposed surfaces of sun control devices that are not protected by temporary covering to remove fingerprints and soil during construction period.

B.   Clean exposed surfaces with water and a mild soap or detergent not harmful to finishes.  Thoroughly rinse surfaces and dry.

C.  Protect sun control assemblies from damage during construction.  Use temporary protective coverings where needed and approved by the sun control manufacturer.
