PLAYGROUND PROTECTIVE SURFACING 321816 - 4 Copyright 2009 AIA Master Spec Full Length 08/09 PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 EXAMINATION: Examine substrates and conditions, with Installer present, for compliance with requirements for maximum moisture content, sub grade and substrate conditions, drainage, and other conditions affecting performance of the Work. Drainage at the low end of the site is of the utmost importance. Any brick or concrete walls or curbs at the low end of the area to receive the play surface must have drainage access via weep holes. Weep holes must extend a minimum of 2 inches above the top of the new concrete slab and a minimum of 1/8" below the top of the new concrete slab. The latter is necessary because the rubber surfacing system is porous and water will permeate (drain downward) to the concrete slab. A. Hard -Surface Substrates: Verify that substrates are satisfactory for unitary playground surface system installation and that substrate surfaces are dry, cured, and uniformly sloped to drain within recommended tolerances according to playground surface system manufacturer's written requirements for cross-section profile. 1. Asphalt Substrates: Verify that substrates are dry, sufficiently cured to bond with adhesive, free from surface defects, and free of dust, dirt, loose particles, grease, oil, and other contaminants incompatible with playground surface system or that may interfere with adhesive bond. 2. Concrete Substrates: Verify that substrates are dry, free from surface defects, and free of laitance, glaze, efflorescence, curing compounds, form -release agents, hardeners, dust, dirt, loose particles, grease, oil, and other contaminants incompatible with playground surface system or that may interfere with adhesive bond. Determine adhesion, dryness, and acidity characteristics by performing procedures recommended in writing by playground surface system manufacturer. 3. Stone Substrates: Verify that substrates are a minimum of 4" thick with proper drainage and compacted to 95%. Stone used shall be 3" #57 stone topped with ''A" crushed stone or suitable equivalent approved by manufacturer and shall vary no more than 1/8" within a 10' radius. Core drillings for equipment poles shall be filled flush to the top of the stone with concrete to prevent sinkholes after installation of PIP surface. B. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. 3.2 PREPARATION A. General: Prepare substrates to receive surfacing products according to playground surface system manufacturer's written instructions. Verify that substrates are sound and without high spots, ridges, holes, and depressions. PLAYGROUND PROTECTIVE SURFACING 321816 - 5 Copyright 2009 AIA Master Spec Full Length 08/09 B. [Concrete] [Asphalt] [Stone] Substrates: Provide sound surface free of laitance, efflorescence, curing compounds, and other contaminants incompatible with playground surface system. 1. Repair unsatisfactory surfaces and fill holes and depressions. 2. Mechanically scarify or otherwise prepare concrete substrates to achieve recommended degree of roughness. 3. Saw cut [concrete] [asphalt] for terminal edges of playground surface systems as indicated. 4. Treat control joints and other nonmoving substrate cracks to prevent telegraphing through playground surface system. 5. Confirm slope and drainage are correct and in place. 3.3 INSTALLATION, GENERAL A. General: Comply with playground surface system manufacturer's written installation instructions. Install playground surface system over area and in thickness indicated. 3.4 INSTALLATION OF SEAMLESS PLAYGROUND SURFACE SYSTEMS A. Seamless Surface: Mix and apply components of playground surface system according to manufacturer's written instructions to produce a uniform, monolithic wearing surface and impact - attenuating system of total thickness indicated. 1. Poured Cushion Course: Spread evenly over primed substrate to form a uniform Layer applied at manufacturer's standard spreading rate in one continuous operation, with a minimum of cold joints. Thickness of cushion course should meet ASTM 1292-04 guidelines and shall be a minimum of 1" thick. Varying thickness [is] [is not] allowed to match fall height. If varying thickness not allowed then the specified thickness is [enter here]. 2. Intercoat Primer: Over cured cushion course, apply primer at manufacturer's standard spreading rate. 3. Wearing Course: Spread over primed base course to form a uniform layer applied at manufacturer's standard spreading rate in one continuous operation and, except where color changes, with [no] [a minimum of] cold joints. Finish surface to produce manufacturer's standard wearing -surface texture. Minimum thickness of wear course shall be '''A" after being trowled. A minimum of 5/8 screed rod shall be used when leveling wear course. a. Where [colored pattern is] [graphics are] indicated, place adjacent colored material as soon as placed colored material is sufficiently cured, using primer or adhesive if required by manufacturer's written instructions. 4.
