WASTE & STORM LINE REPLACEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2014
C. Concrete Moisture Testing: Conduct moisture tests on all concrete floors regardless of the age,
grade level or the presence of existing flooring. Conduct calcium chloride tests in accordance
with ASTM F 1869. Measure the internal relative humidity of the concrete slab in accordance
with ASTM F 2170. One test of each type should be conducted for every 1,000 square feet of
flooring (minimum of 3). The tests should be conducted around the perimeter of the room, at
columns, and anywhere moisture may be evident. Concrete moisture vapor emissions must not
exceed 8.0 lbs. per 1,000 square feet in 24 hours when using Forbo L 885 adhesive. Concrete
internal relative humidity must not exceed 85% when using Forbo L 885 adhesive. A diagram of
the area showing the location and results of each test should be submitted to the Architect,
General Contractor or End User. If the test results exceed these limitations, the installation must
not proceed until the problem has been corrected.
D. Concrete pH Test: Perform pH tests on concrete floors regardless of the age or grade level. If the pH
is greater than 11, it must be neutralized prior to beginning the installation.
3.04 INSTALLATION
A. Adhesive Flooring Installation: Cut required length of linoleum flooring from roll, allowing enough
material to extend up the wall 4 to 6 inches at either end. Layout and position sheet flooring so that
any seams will fall at least 6 inches from underlayment joints or saw cuts in concrete substrate.
Scribe and cut flooring material to shape of vertical surfaces, including walls and partitions. Apply
adhesive and lay sheet flooring into wet adhesive and roll with a 100 pound roller. Install sheet
flooring square with room axis.
1. [Adhesive, Seamless Flooring Installation: Rout out seams and heat weld together with
complementary colored heat welding rod of complimentary composition in accordance with
resilient flooring manufacturer's recommendations.]
2. Adhesive Material Installation: Use trowel as recommended by flooring manufacturer for
specific adhesive. Spread at a rate of approximately 150 ft2/gallon, as recommended by flooring
manufacturer.
B. Installation Techniques:
1. Where demountable partitions and other items are indicated for installation on top of finished
flooring, install flooring before these items are installed.
2. Scribe, cut, fit flooring to butt tightly to vertical surfaces, permanent fixtures and built-in
furniture, including pipes, outlets, edgings, thresholds, nosings, and cabinets.
3. Extend flooring into toe spaces, door reveals, closets, and similar openings.
4. Install flooring on covers for telephone and electrical ducts, and similar items occurring within
finish floor areas. Maintain overall continuity of color and pattern with pieces of flooring
installed on these covers.
5. Do not install resilient flooring over expansion joints. Use expansion joint covers manufactured
for use with resilient flooring. Refer to other specification sections for expansion joint covers.
