1.8. CORROSION PROTECTION
a) The climate at the project site is particularly corrosive due to the saline atmosphere, and
the high average temperatures. The intense solar radiation is also a cause of accelerated
aging of materials, as is the significant accumulation of fine sand and dust due to the nature
of local soils. The Contractor will make all provisions necessary to propose, for the prior
approval of the Engineer, and then to install, non‐corroding products and materials where
appropriate including aluminum, stainless steel, other non‐corroding metals, and plastics.
In the case where no alternative to steel or other oxidizing metal is possible (or where the
specifications specifically indicate the use of steel), the steel or other material must be
effectively protected against corrosion (by galvanization and/or protective paint coatings,
for example) with an anti‐corrosion guarantee of 10 years. In all other cases, the Contractor
will be asked to modify if necessary the proposed product (even if a catalogue or
manufactured item) and to replace the corroding‐type materials by non‐corroding
materials.
1.9. WORK REASONABLE INFERRED
a) Contractor shall execute the Work in accordance with the intent and meaning of the
Drawings and Specification and shall supply all accessories and other items essential for the
proper Performance and Completion of the Work and shall execute all Work, including the
supply of necessary materials, which can be reasonably inferred, whether or not specifically
shown or described in the Drawings and Specification.
a) Store handrails and railings in a dry, well‐ventilated, weathertight place.
1.11. PROJECT CONDITIONS
a) Field Measurements: Verify handrail and railing dimensions by field measurements before
fabrication and indicate measurements on Shop Drawings. Coordinate fabrication schedule
with construction progress to avoid delaying the Work.
1.12. COORDINATION AND SCHEDULING
a) Coordinate installation of anchorages for handrails and railings. Furnish setting drawings,
templates, and directions for installing anchorages, including sleeves, concrete inserts,
anchor bolts, and items with integral anchors, that are to be embedded in concrete or
masonry. Deliver such items to Project site in time for installation.
b) Schedule installation so handrails and railings are mounted only on completed walls. Do not
support temporarily by any means that does not satisfy structural performance
requirements.
