For new construction? Or Post Construction?

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. Jerome J.

I don't believe this section is required as I have never included one like this in any previous similar construction project.

Typically issues such as cleaning of concrete can be left to the architect. Crack repair should be a section unto itself.

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.

For post-construction maintenance, there would not be a project manual set of specifications, most likely anyway.

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.
