Concrete Topping over Hot WP Membrane

The concrete topping is not designed by the structural engineer and it is not needed to address a structural issue within the structural engineers scope so naturally the structural engineer would not specify the topping slab.

You either create a separate concrete specification section or you can negotiate changes to the structural engineers specification section that addresses your needs I suggest the former.

Remember the specification manual contains specifications from multiple consultants. Nothing prevents multiple consultants from collaborating in the writing of a specification section. Having said that when this is done there needs to be a record of which consultant was responsible for which provisions.

Jerome,

He is great, fast, and through. He can also help present it so that you can explain it to the architect. He, and Mapei in general, were my go to group for any tile setting system questions, including some pretty strange renovation situations.
