Installation

MegAtec 610 is supplied as A01 (roof to roof) and A02 (roof to wall), which use different blockout and sightline dimensions — A01 blockouts run 120–488 mm across the gap range, A02 runs 68–470 mm. Because the correct detail depends on the junction and your roof build-up, send us the gap width and movement requirement and we will return the CAD detail and product reference.

Specification

A clause written to the MegAtec 610 data sheet

Worked for a 100 mm roof joint. Change the gap and the movement for each location on the joint schedule and leave the rest. It names what the joint must do rather than who makes it, so an alternative has to match the performance, not just the description.

Supply and install an external centre-plate roof expansion joint cover system, roof to roof and roof to wall, to the locations scheduled, for a nominal structural gap of 100 mm, accommodating a movement of not less than ±50 mm. The system shall be cyclically tested to ASTM E-1399, Classes I, II and III, and the test evidence submitted. The cover shall be a raised external plate over the joint. A continuous moisture barrier membrane shall be installed within the joint and lapped to the structural waterproofing on both sides; the lap is within this subcontract. Where the joint crosses a fire compartment line, a fire barrier rated to the compartment is included (available on request; rating confirmed per job). Manufacture shall be against a site survey of the built gap taken after the structure is complete. The technical data sheet, the cross-section for each location and the installation method statement shall be submitted for approval before manufacture.

Each requirement is explained in how to specify an expansion joint. Writing to a CPWD tender? See the DSR items. See also expansion joints in buildings and the types of expansion joint.
