tasks to which they are committed.
All obligations relating to the workforce employed in this contract are the exclusive
responsibility of the Contractor. However, Inspection reserves the right to dismiss
personnel who they consider not to have sufficient qualifications, or whose stay at the
work are deemed inconvenient for discipline or good progress of the work.
The Contractor is responsible for supplying all the machines, tools, and utensils,
including the respective repairs, and for supplying, assembling, and dismantling all
auxiliary means, such as scaffolding and fastenings, necessary for the proper execution

During the execution of the work and before provisional receipt, the Contractor shall
carry out the necessary tests to demonstrate that equipment and assemblies meet the
specified conditions in the presence of a representative from inspection. When carried
out in a situation where the extreme or close conditions are not met, they may be
repeated during the guarantee period, if inspection so wishes, when these conditions
occur.
The standards for tests considered are generally the Standards and Regulations in
force and applicable in Portugal. In situations not covered by these standards and
regulations, international standards of recognised quality (ISO; IEC; BSI; DIN; AFNOR)
or specific recommendations (ASHRAE; EUROVENT; SMACNA) shall be considered.
All costs for tests in respect of technical personnel, their travel, equipment, energy,
shall be covered by the Contractor. These include tests that may be required in
recognised laboratories and official bodies. The results of the tests shall be presented
in the form of records and certificates validated by the inspection of the work. All
results will only be accepted expressed in SI units.

In the tests of the duct systems, fumes will be used for the visualisation of leaks. All
ends of the ductwork must be properly buffered to ensure their tightness during
testing.
The testing shall be performed, if possible, before applying the thermal insulation, in
such a way as to enable visual detection of leakage points. All equipment and materials
necessary for sealing the network will be provided by the Contractor.
As a basis for the classification of ducts, the reference values considered are given in
the table below.
According to the methodology, the flow rate of losses in the duct lines must be less

will be carried out on sections to be chosen by Inspection and the Construction Owner,
and at least 10% of the network must be tested.
If the tested network does not meet the requirements, it must be corrected and tested
again, plus 20% of the network chosen in the same way.

same surface treatment.
Ducts that are vertically mounted, whether rectangular or circular in section, have
supports with a maximum distance of 3 meters, in a clamp form, using metal strip or
corner bracket. Ducts which are fitted in this position shall have a suitable support set

It is included in its supply the respective assembly frame and other accessories
necessary for its installation in the ducts, walls, or slabs, as indicated in the drawings.
When they are installed in ducts, the respective connection plenum is considered
included in the supply.
They will be equipped with flow dampers where the correct flow rates balancing
justifies.
• The flow dampers regulate the air flow and are necessary to obtain a static and
dynamic pressure network balance.
• The dampers control system can be manual, by adjusting the blade position that
regulates the air flow, or automatic, whether its motorised or not.
• The dampers shall be installed according to the location indicated in the drawings
and, where necessary, for the network correct operation and balance.
• The dampers which carry out intake or exhaust to/from outside air shall meet the
following air permeability requirements (EN 1751):
• These will be circular manual Iris-type flow control dampers, with the flow rate
being proportional to the opening, and with an opening position indication.
• The dampers shall be mounted on a galvanised steel metal structure with internal
transversal dimensions equal to the ducts in which they are inserted.
The different fire zones resistances are defined in the safety design. The installer must
be sure of the different zone resistance and only then protect ducts and seal the
openings accordingly.

The compensation dampers are used in case of fire to compensate the extracted air
during smoke exhaust. Will be triggered by the centralized SHEV control panel. The
dampers are normally open, which means, in case of electric energy supply cut, they
will automatically open (spring actuator). This feature is particularly important as this
equipment will not be power by an emergency switchboard and need to be open in
case of fire. In normal operation they must be closed which means they need to be
