| XPS delivers high R-values in below-grade applications |
| |
|
The thermal performance of extruded and expanded polystyrene (XPS and EPS) insulation under roads and airfields in cold climates is critical to protect infrastructure from damage caused by permafrost thaw, frost heave, and seasonal thaw weakening. Therefore, the primary factors affecting in-service R-value performance, such as aging and moisture absorption, must be taken into consideration.

| AN ERROR IN CONFORMED DOCUMENTS – NOW WHAT? |
| Conformed documents are procurement documents that include addenda items and accepted alternates. The original drawings and specifications are usually updated by the A/E and can be incorporated into the Owner-Contractor Agreement by reference. Conformed documents are very valuable because they help streamline communication and reduce errors during the construction phase. But what happens when the A/E accidently omits an addendum item from the conformed documents? Are those gold-plated widgets the Owner insisted on no longer in the contract? Does the A/E need to issue their first change order to include missing items? Should the Contractor just ignore conflicts like this because, after all, the Owner-Contractor agreement references the Addenda, too? Or, just to keep it clear, should the A/E issue a disclaimer of some kind to the Contractor that will resolve the issue automatically when a conflict occurs between conformed documents and the original procurement documents? If you have seen a disclaimer of this type what did it say?
