When would this spec section be used? For new construction? Or Post Construction? |

Jerry: Quoting from MasterFormat for Section 030100: "Includes: maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, replacement, restoration, preservation, etc. of concrete. Includes graffiti removal. Includes epoxy-injected crack repair." "See: 03 30 00 for cleaning new cast-in-place concrete. 03 40 00 for cleaning new precast concrete." So 030100 is for existing concrete. |

Thanks Dave, the Structural Engineer wants to include this spec section in a project of new construction, he expects me to edit and format the BSD spec section he has provided. I don't believe this section is required as I have never included one like this in any previous similar construction project. |

Needs more information on what issues the engineer is trying to address. Typically issues such as cleaning of concrete can be left to the architect. Crack repair should be a section unto itself. |

I actually just used this section. We have a concrete tunnel (pedestrian and maintenance) that was done about a year ago and now we're going to put a finish coating on top of it. I've used this section to clean up the existing concrete before the finishes go on. If I were doing new construction, the preparation of the surface for finish materials should be covered in the concrete spec section; I used the "maintenance " section because of the delay between the construction and the finishing and that this new work was a completely different contract. |

Titles like this have always seemed to me to be for renovation projects. For post-construction maintenance, there would not be a project manual set of specifications, most likely anyway. |

I did many rehabilitation projects over the years, and these sections are extremely useful for that. They would typically include a variety of work items to different building components. I always had to write these sections from scratch, so having these is a boon. |
