* Prepare the substrate as required by the selected foam manufacturer. The contractor shall identify any
required repairs, cleaning, drying, surface preparation, or preconditioning before application.
* Install closed-cell spray polyurethane foam insulation at a minimum installed thickness of 2 inches over the
entire 80 ft x 100 ft ceiling area (approximately 8,000 square feet).
* Seal gaps and openings at the tops of the wall metal sheeting and at roof-rafter/end-wall interfaces. Sealing
shall be continuous and sufficient to close visible air gaps and openings encountered within the project limits.
* Where required to provide a continuous finished system, extend the foam approximately 2 inches down the
wall from the ceiling line to cover and seal the specified gaps. Exact field conditions shall be verified by the
contractor during the site visit.
* After the foam has cured and has been accepted by the Airport, apply a durable white coating/paint system
compatible with the installed foam and approved for the intended use.
* Remove all masking, temporary protection, equipment, unused materials, debris, and work residue from
Airport property no later than two business days after completion.
* Perform final cleanup and leave the hangar in a clean, safe, workmanlike condition.

* Closed-cell spray polyurethane foam shall be a commercially manufactured product intended for interior
application over metal building assemblies and shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's

average thickness that permits localized areas below the specified minimum.

R-value per inch, application temperature range, substrate requirements, and applicable evaluation/listing
information with the bid.
* Foam and coating systems shall comply with all applicable requirements of the authority having jurisdiction
(AHJ), including applicable Georgia building and fire-code requirements.
* The contractor shall identify the proposed ignition/thermal barrier or protective coating system, if one is
required by the AHJ or the foam manufacturer's listing. The white coating shall not be assumed to satisfy a
code requirement unless the proposed system is specifically approved/listed for that purpose.
* Coating shall be compatible with the foam, suitable for the hangar environment, and applied at the
manufacturer's specified coverage/thickness.
* Contractor shall provide product technical data sheets and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) before installation.
