SECTION 017329

CUTTING AND PATCHING

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL

A. Definition: "Cutting and patching" includes cutting into existing construction to provide for the installation of or performance of other work and subsequent fitting and patching required to restore surfaces to their original condition or patching and repair of surfaces where equipment is removed or relocated.

B. Refer to other sections of these specifications for specific cutting and patching requirements and limitations applicable to individual units of work.

C. Structural work: Do not cut and patch structural work in a manner resulting in a reduction of the load carrying capacity or load/deflection ratio. Submit proposal and request and obtain Engineer's approval before proceeding with cut and patch of structural work.

D. Operational/Safety Limitations: Do not cut and patch operational elements and safety components in a manner resulting in decreased performance, shortened useful life, or increased maintenance. Submit proposals and requests and obtain Engineer's approvals before proceeding with cut and patches.

E. Visual/Quality Limitations: Do not cut and patch work exposed to view (interior or exterior) in a manner resulting in a noticeable reduction in the esthetic qualities and similar qualities, as judged by the Engineer.

F. Limitations on approvals: Engineer's approval to proceed with cutting and patching does not waive the right to later require removal/replacement of work found to be cut and patched in an unsatisfactory manner as judged by the Architect/Engineer.

1.2 MATERIALS

A. General: Use material for cutting and patching that is identical to existing materials. If identical materials are not available, use materials that match existing adjacent surfaces to the greatest extent possible with regard to visual effect. Use materials for cutting and patching that will result in equal-or-better performance characteristics.

1.3 EXECUTION

A. Inspection: Before cutting, examine surfaces to be cut and patched and conditions under which work is to be performed. If unsafe or otherwise unsatisfactory conditions are encountered, take corrective action before proceeding with the work.

B. Temporary Support: To prevent failure, provide temporary support of work to be cut.

C. Protection: Protect other work during cutting and patching to prevent damage. Provide protection from adverse weather conditions for that part of the project that may be exposed during cutting and patching operations.

Jackson County Courthouse Cooling Tower Replacement CUTTING AND PATCHING Section 017329

2 8/30/2024

D. Take precautions not to cut piping, conduits or ducts serving the building and scheduled to be relocated until provisions have been made to bypass them.

E. Cutting: Cut the work using methods that are least likely to damage work to be retained or adjoining work.

F. Where cutting is required use hand or small power tools designed for sawing and grinding, not hammering or chopping. Cut through concrete and masonry with equipment such as a carborundum saw or core drill. Cut holes and slots neatly to size required with minimum disturbance of adjacent work. To avoid marring existing finished surfaces, cut and drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces. Temporarily cover openings when work is not being performed.

G. Patching: Patch with seams which are durable and as invisible as possible. Comply with specified tolerances for the work.

H. Restore exposed finishes of patched area and where necessary extend finish restoration into adjoining work in a manner which will eliminate evidence of cutting or patching and refinishing.

I. Where existing panels, devices, structural supports or equipment is removed, the area exposed shall be patched to match existing and painted as specified.
