Patching, Replacement and Modification of Electrical Work
After installation of the electrical work is completed, the contractor shall neatly patch and/or repair existing construction that might have been damaged, removed, or altered during the installation. Work shall be similar and equal in quality to the work removed and/or damaged, unless otherwise shown or specified. Such work shall include, but is not limited to, patching and/or replacement of existing masonry, siding, roofing, partitions, and painting to the condition it was in before the installation of the electrical equipment.
All items such as structural steel supports and inserts shall be painted with one coat of metal primer immediately after installation. Building steel painted surfaces that are damaged during the welding of the supports shall be immediately treated with metal primer.
When PVC-coated conduit is used, any coating removed or damaged during construction shall be restored using the appropriate materials.
All penetrations of conduit or cable tray through building walls shall be sealed with a fireproof intumescent foam, RTV or equal as required, to provide a weatherproof seal, or as instructed and shown on contract drawings.
