PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01
Installation
A.
Where indicated and noted on the contract drawings, install the seals in a neat,
workmanlike manner. Utilize manufacturers optional installation tool where
applicable. All surfaces to receive elastomeric compression seal shall be free from
dirt, water, frost and any other loose foreign debris which may be detrimental to
effective joint sealing.
B.
The neoprene seal shall be supplied in the longest continuous length possible.
Factory splices will be allowed. Aron Alpha adhesive shall be used to field splice
and/or miter the seal to accomplish directional changes. Purchase adhesives from
seal manufacturer.
C.
D.
Protect all expansion joint component parts from damage during installation of
adjacent materials and thereafter until completion of structure. Protect horizontal
seals from construction traffic.

Expansion joint systems shall be set to the proper width for the ambient
temperature at the time of installation. This information is indicated in the contract
plans.
Protect system and its components during construction. After work is complete in
adjacent areas, clean exposed surfaces and remove excess adhesive with a
suitable cleaner that will not harm or attack the elastomeric seal.
