General: Comply with requirements specified in other Sections. <br /> <br />B. In-Place Materials: Use materials identical to in-place materials. For exposed surfaces, use <br />materials that visually match in-place adjacent surfaces to the fullest extent possible. <br /> <br />1. If identical materials are unavailable or cannot be used, use materials that, when installed, <br />will match the visual and functional performance of in-place materials. <br /> <br />PART 3 - EXECUTION <br /> <br />3.1 PREPARATION <br /> <br />A. Temporary Support: Provide temporary support of Work to be cut. <br /> <br />B. Protection: Protect in-place construction during cutting and patching to prevent damage. <br />Provide protection from adverse weather conditions for portions of Project that might be <br />exposed during cutting and patching operations. <br /> <br />C. Adjoining Areas: Avoid interference with use of adjoining areas or interruption of free passage <br />to adjoining areas. <br /> <br />D. Existing Utility Services and MechanicallElectrical Systems: Where existing services/systems <br />are required to be removed, relocated, or abandoned, bypass such services/systems before <br />cutting to prevent interruption to occupied areas. <br /> <br />3.2 PERFORMANCE <br /> <br />A. General: Employ skilled workers to perform cutting and patching. Proceed with cutting and <br />patching at the earliest feasible time, and complete without delay. <br /> <br />1. Cut in-place construction to provide for installation of other components or performance <br />of other construction, and subsequently patch as required to restore surfaces to their <br />original condition. <br /> <br />B. Cutting: Cut in-place construction by sawing, drilling, breaking, chipping, grinding, and similar <br />operations, including excavation, using methods least likely to damage elements retained or <br />adjoining construction. If possible, review proposed procedures with original Installer; comply <br />with original Installer's written recommendations. <br /> <br />1. In general, use hand or small power tools designed for sawing and grinding, not <br />hammering and chopping. Cut holes and slots as small as possible, neatly to size <br />required, and with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily cover <br />openings when not in use. <br />2. Finished Surfaces: Cut or drill from the exposed or fInished side into concealed surfaces. <br /> <br />CUTTING AND PATCHING <br /> <br />01731 - 3 <br />
