shown on the drawings. All handling, preparatory blinding DPM, formwork and reinforcing, and

concreting and finishing techniques shall be exactly as recommended by Firth Industries Ltd.

Notify the BCA for inspection of the excavation and of the Ribraft slab ready for pouring, and keep

whatever records or test results they may require.

Check that all topsoil etc. has been removed from the RibRaft slab location and that the excavated (or

hardfill made-up where necessary) platform is level and approximately 330mm below the required

finished floor level. Co-ordinate with other trades to ensure that any wastewater drains or other

piped or wired service lines are correctly incorporated (and fully operationally tested as appropriate)

Place and compact any hardfill or basecourse required by the Engineer for specific design. Blind the

surface with up to 50mm of sand, and compact (and adjust if necessary) to accurately level, carrying

the sand blinding to at least 500mm beyond the RibRaft perimeter. (Install shear key piles if required

or specified).

Lay the specified DPM over the entire platform and extending at least 200mm beyond the RibRaft

perimeter, with strips lapped 150mm and 50mm PVC adhesive tape sealed, and any services

penetrations tape sealed. Tape repair any damage to the DPM as soon as it occurs, and re-

inspect/repair just before pouring. Construct the slab perimeter formwork as specified above and as

detailed, including edge rebates and any slab cut-outs required.

Unload and handle components carefully to avoid any damage, and keep them clean until installed.

module.

Reinforce as specified and as noted on the drawings, ensuring the bars are positioned in the spacer

lugs, install plumbing waste pipes etc. as required, and then install the reinforcing mesh over the top

of the pods, seated on mesh chairs, and install the re-entrant corner steel (Grade 500E) across

internal corners as noted. Install starters as detailed for any subsequent masonry walls, ensuring

accurate positioning (as bending to masonry core positions is not acceptable).

Pour Firth RaftMix (or pump Firth RaftMix Pump), and vibrate and screed and finish as specified, and

cure and install shrinkage control joints as specified or noted.

on to the roof.

5.3.9 Protection

Protect the coated surface from damage at all times; replace the whole sheet where a significant

depth of the coating has been damaged. Completely clean off all drill and power saw swarf and pop-

rivet shanks as the work proceeds (at least daily, and keep them and other rubbish out of the

spoutings). Remove trade debris from the roof and from the site progressively, and on completion

leave the roof and rainwater system completely clean.

Do not use black lead pencils for marking Colorsteel - permanent marking may result. Observe NZ

Steel's recommendations where flues discharge above roofs, and for the installation of solar heating

panels. Do NOT weld Colorsteel. NO abrasive disc cutters, no soldering, no lead head nails or lead

edged flashings, no touch-up paints, and do not slide tools down the roof.

5.3.10 Maintenance

Advise owner to minimize walking on the roof, and to use soft-sole shoes during maintenance access.

Advise owner re maintenance of unwashed surfaces, and to light detergent wash the whole roof



every three to five years. Advise owner that any leaf build-up gutter protection system that traps

water will invalidate the roofing warranty.
