General Examination
Examine structure where work of this Section will be installed. Check flat roof deck for
the min. slope of 1% towards the roof drains. Correct conditions detrimental to the
proper and timely completion of the work. Verify that materials to be used for the work

If tiles are used as a protection layer, they should preferably be laid in sand bedding.
This allows better expansion and contraction and reduces the risk of damaging the
waterproofing, especially along the edges, construction joints and roof projections.
PVC sheeting may be used without a specific protection unless otherwise
recommended by the manufacturer.
