1.4 REFERENCES

A. DEFINITIONS:

1. UPB - Under perimeter board is the clearance height under the structure. It indicates the lowest height of a member from finish grade for clearance under the structure. This is generally the clearance under the eave fascia board.

2. Building Size - The building’s length by the buildings width if square or rectangular, or the distance from eave to eave at the tip of a polygon.

3. Pitch - The slope of the roof given in two values, rise to run, it is the ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run.

4. Bay Spacing - Measured from the centerline to centerline of primary columns for interior bays. Typically used on a rectangular structure and not a polygon. Does not necessarily indicate distance for outside bays.

5. SYP - Southern Yellow Pine.

6. ACQ - Alkaline Copper Quaternary pressure treated lumber, a waterborne wood preservative system containing copper and quaternary compounds to protect against termite attack and decay. ACQ pressure-treated wood can withstand harsh weather conditions and is effective for decades. Because it is waterborne, it requires almost a year of drying before any staining can be done to the lumber.

7. MCQ - Micronized Copper Quaternary, a powdered but solvent free wood preservative system similar to ACQ but allows pigment colorants to better simulate redwood, natural, or cedar. Because the sub-micron sized copper particles are suspended in the wood and not dissolved, there is better performance, better corrosion properties and better fresh more natural appearance as compared to ACQ. MCQ will take stain immediately.

8. PCI - Powder Coat Institute.

9. PCI 4000 - Powder Coat Institute 4000 S Certification.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLERS

A. Protect building products after arrival at destination from weather, sunlight, and damage.

B. Building products should be placed on blocks well of the ground and separated with wood strips so that air can circulate around each member.

C. Cover top and bottom with moisture-resistant paper. Use non-marring slings when handling.

D. Installers are to use proper building practices recognized by OSHA and to have a minimum 5 years experience in installing shelters of similar construction. These trades include but are not limited to: masonry work, steel construction, sheet metal work, carpentry, electrical, and paint finishing.

E. Examination of final work is done by verifying that the erection of the structure was done in conformance to the installation instructions supplied by Poligon and local building codes. In rare cases, local building inspectors may need to be present to witness tool calibrations and bolt tightening. Contact your local inspector for those requirements.

3.2 ERECTION

A. FOUNDATIONS:

The shelter shall be set on prepared foundations designed by the engineers identified in 1.5.D. Anchor bolts (if required) to be provided as defined in this same section. Most of Poligon products are wooden fixed base buried column design which do not require anchor bolts and this concealing slab

B. FRAME COMPONENTS:

Install all frame components according to manufacturer’s installation instructions and these specifications. It may be necessary to shore up, use bracing, or provide plywood collars around columns to stabilize work and working conditions during construction.

C. GENERAL CONTRACTOR:

Interface with other work is to be coordinated by the customer or the customer’s agent. Certain designs have electrical or other plumbing requirements that are not supplied by Poligon.

D. TOLERANCES:

Tolerances on steel structural members are set according to AISC construction practices, abided by in the factory, and cannot be increased. No field slotting or opening of holes will be allowed. It is therefore essential that contractors conform to the tolerances as specified on the installation drawings for anchor bolt or column layout details.

3.3 REPAIR

A. Repair to Poligon structures should only be necessary from acts of vandalism, God or time. In the case of structural compromise, contact Poligon for professional guidance as to proper repair to structure. Do not attempt any field repairs without first contacting Poligon.

B. Over time it may be necessary to re-finish wood. Except for ACQ or MCQ treating, the wood supplied by Poligon is not finished at the factory and requires the installer and customer to do the wood field finishing. Depending upon what method and product the customer chooses to finish the wood, will determine the exact interval at which re-finishing may be necessary. Refer to finishing manufacturers instructions.

3.4 FIELD or SITE QUALITY CONTROL

Field or Site Tests and Inspections are not required by Poligon but may be required by the customer or by the local building inspector.

3.5 FIELD CLEANING

A. Cleaning of Poligon metal painted products can be done with commercially available SoftScrub® or similar mild abrasive cleaner. This will clean most marks or common vandalism.

B. A need to clean the wood products will only arise over time after the product has been installed or if the material was not properly protected during installation or field storage. Cleaning of Poligon wood products require sanding and re-finishing. Follow finish manufacturers instructions for re-finishing details.
