PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01GENERAL- TEMPORARY CHAIN LINK FENCING

  1. Installation of temporary fencing shall not deter or hinder access to existing and new hose connections and fire hydrants.
  2. Maintain 3 feet diameter clear space around fire hydrants.
  3. Where fire hydrant or hose connection is blocked by fencing, provide access gate.
  4. Access: Provide gates for personnel, delivery of materials, and access by emergency vehicles.
  5. Field verify gate locations with Owner.

3.02INSTALLATION

  1. Chain link posts:
  2. Post spacing shall be 12’ maximum if using prefabricated panels and 10’ maximum if wire tying mesh to posts.
  3. Drive posts, set in holes and backfill, or anchor in precast concrete blocks.
  4. For soft and unstable ground conditions, cast concrete plug around post.
  5. Posts over pavement: Use steel post plates or precast concrete blocks.
  6. Gate posts:Usebracingorconcrete footings to provide rigidity for accommodating size of gate.
  7. Fabric: Securely attach to posts.
  8. Gates: Install with required hardware.

3.03MAINTENANCE

  1. Maintain fencing in good condition. If damaged, Contractor shall immediately repair at no additional cost to owner.

3.04FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

  1. Post and Fabric Testing: Test fabric tension and line post rigidity according to ASTMF1916.
  2. Gate Tests:
  3. Prior to acceptance of installed gates, demonstrate proper operation of gates under each possible open and close condition specified.
  4. Adjust gate to operate smoothly, easily, and quietly, free of binding, warp, excessive deflection, distortion, nonalignment, misplacement, disruption, or malfunction, throughout entire operational range.
  5. Confirm that latches and locks engage accurately and securely without forcing and binding.

3.05CLEANUP

  1. Remove excess fencing materials, soil, concrete and any other debris from Site which resulted from installation of fences and/or gates.
