EXECUTION
EXAMINATION Verify site conditions under provisions of Section 01100. Verify that surfaces and site conditions are ready to receive work. Masonry: Verify joints are cut flush and surface is ready to receive work of this section. Verify no bituminous or water repellent coatings exist on masonry surface. Concrete: Verify surfaces are flat, honeycomb is filled flush, and surface is ready to receive work of this section. Verify no bituminous, water repellent, or form release agents exist on concrete surface that are detrimental to plaster or plaster bond. Acceptance of Backgrounds: Before starting preparation and applying coatings ensure that backgrounds are secure, adequately true and level to achieve specified tolerances, free from contamination and loose areas, reasonably dry and in a suitable condition to receive specified coatings. Ensure that all cutting, chasing, fixing of concealed conduits, service outlets, fixing pads and the like and making good of the background, are completed. Remove efflorescence, laitance, dirt and other loose material by thoroughly dry brushing. Remove all traces of paint, grease, dirt and other materials incompatible with coating by scrubbing with water containing detergent and washing off with plenty of clean water. Allow to dry before applying coatings unless specified otherwise. Scrub in situ concrete surfaces with water containing detergent to ensure complete removal of mould oil, surface retarders and other materials incompatible with coating. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry unless specified otherwise. Grounds and Blocking: installed. Verify items within walls for other sections of work have been

3.1.10 Mechanical and Electrical: Verify services within walls have been tested and approved. 3.2 3.2.1 3.2.2 3.2.3 3.2.4 3.3 3.3.1 3.3.2 3.3.3 3.3.4 PREPARATION Dampen masonry surfaces to reduce excessive suction. Clean concrete surfaces of foreign matter. Thoroughly dampen surfaces before using acid solutions, solvent, or detergents to perform cleaning. Wash surface with clean water. Roughen smooth concrete surfaces and smooth faced masonry. Apply bonding agent in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. INSTALLATION - ACCESSORIES Continuously reinforce internal angles with corner mesh, return metal lath 75mm from corner to form the angle reinforcement; fasten at perimeter edges only. Place corner bead at external wall corners; fasten at outer edges of lath only. Place strip mesh diagonally at corners of lathed openings. Secure rigidly in place. Place metal lath over backing materials. Secure rigidly in place at centres of not more than

600mm along both edges. 3.3.5 3.3.6 3.3.7 3.4 3.4.1 3.4.2 3.5 3.5.1 3.5.2 Place casing beads at terminations of plaster finish. Butt and align ends. Secure rigidly in place. Install frames plumb and level in opening. Secure rigidly in place. Position to provide convenient access to concealed work requiring access. CONTROL AND EXPANSION JOINTS Locate expansion joints every 5m on external walls and in positions agreed with Engineer using double casing bead spaced 3mm apart to form joint filled with 2-part polysolphide. Coordinate joint placement with other related work. PLASTERING Apply gypsum plaster in accordance with relevant British standards and manufacturer's instructions. Apply each coating firmly to achieve good adhesion and in one continuous operation between angles and joints. All coatings to be not less than the thickness specified, firmly bonded, of even and consistent appearance, free from rippling, hollows and ridges. Finish surfaces to a true plane, to correct line and level, with all angles and corners to a right angle unless specified otherwise, and with walls and reveals plumb and square. Prevent excessively rapid or localised drying out. Dubbing Out: If necessary to correct inaccuracies, dub out in thicknesses of not more than 10mm in same mix as first coat. Allow each coat to set before the next is applied. Cross scratch surface of each dubbing out coat immediately after set. Dubbing out will not be permitted on smooth dense concrete surfaces except as recommended by the plaster manufacturer. Undercoats generally to be not less than 8mm thick with thicknesses greater than 16mm applied as two equal coats. Rule to an even surface and cross scratch each coat to provide a key for the next hand-applied coat. Apply finish coat to minimum 3mm thickness. Smooth Finish: Trowel or float to produce a tight, matt, smooth surface with no hollows, abrupt changes of level or trowel marks. Do not use water brush and avoid excessive trowelling and over polishing. Perform work in panels to nearest natural break or between accessories. TOLERANCES Maximum Variation from True Flatness: 3mm in 3 m. END OF SECTION
