DESCRIPTION
A.
The Drawings are diagrammatic, unless detailed dimensioned Drawings are
included, and show approximate locations of distribution equipment, fixtures,
control panels and wiring devices. Equipment layouts shall be submitted prior to
work in these areas with sufficient time for a detailed review. All equipment and
locations shall be closely reviewed and coordinated. Coordinate all work and
equipment locations with the Engineer prior to performing final installations.
While the general run of electrical feeders, branch circuits and conduits are indicated
on the Drawings, it is not intended that exact routing be determined there
from. Conductors can be combined in conduits for ease of construction as permitted
by these specifications and the latest edition of the N.E.C.
Circuit designations can be found on the contract drawings in the combination of
any of the following formats:
Single Line Diagrams Wiring Diagrams
Electrical Schematics Panelboard Schedules
Control and Instrumentation Diagrams Conduit and Wire Schedule
"Home Runs"
The Contractor shall be responsible for reviewing all drawings and may modify
these designations subject to field conditions and review of the Engineer.
Measurements shall be made and coordinated with all approved equipment at the
site and in the buildings during construction and all systems installed as the work
progresses in such a manner that the equipment, piping, vents, ducts, conduit, etc.,
will fit in the space provided, maintain head room and if in unfinished areas, be as
neatly installed, as obscure and "out-of-the- way" as physically possible.
Prior to submission for review any item of equipment, determine whether or not it
will fit in the space provided and that no design changes in conduits, wiring or
controls will be required. Any changes in the size, location or interconnections of
the material or equipment supplied, which may be necessary in order to meet field
conditions or in order to avoid conflicts between trades, shall be brought to the
immediate attention of the Engineer and no exceptions must be taken before such
alterations are made.
All equipment and accessories and its interconnecting piping, ductwork, conduits,
etc., shall be installed in such a manner that ample maintenance passage and Code-
required space/access will be provided.
Where more than one trade is involved in an area, space or chase, all shall cooperate
and install their own work to utilize the space equally between them in proportion
to their individual requirements. In general ductwork shall be given preference
(except where grading of piping becomes a problem) followed by piping then
