Additional dust control measures shall be implemented per paragraph "GAS, VAPOR, FUME, DUST, SLURRY AND MIST CONTROL". A written concrete removal and disposal plan shall be submitted 60 days prior to commencement of concrete work, showing equipment to be used, include a waste water collection plan as specified in 01 57 20.00 28 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, expected noise levels and duration. All concrete removed shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.
3.4.2 Recommended Procedure
Saw cutting, core-drilling, wire cutting or any combination thereof is the recommended method for the concrete removal to be done as part of this contract. In addition to cutting, chipping or grinding may be used to bring the concrete profile to the final finished grade. When the portion of concrete to be removed is of such a magnitude that it cannot be extracted in a single piece, additional cutting shall be performed to allowthe concrete to be removed in several convenient sized sections.
3.4.3 Saw Cutting
Saw cutting shall be performed at the locations shown on the contract drawings. The saw cuts shall be done using a diamond-bladed saw. Saw cuts shall be straight and uniform. Scan concrete for embedded items before cutting. If electrical items are found contact the KO.
