Provide openings in non-structural elements of the Work for penetrations of mechanical and electrical work. Perform work in a manner which will avoid damage to other work. Prepare proper surfaces to receive patching and finishing. Where possible, employ the original installer to perform cutting and patching for weather-exposed and moisture-resistant elements and sight-exposed surfaces. Cut rigid materials using a power saw or core drill. Pneumatic or impact tools will not be allowed. Restore work with new products in accordance with the Contract Documents. Fit work airtight to pipes, sleeves, ducts, conduit, and other penetrations through surfaces. At penetrations of fire-rated wall, ceiling, or floor construction, completely seal voids with fire-rated material, acceptable to the authorities having jurisdiction, full thickness of construction element. Refinish surfaces to match adjacent finishes; for continuous surfaces refinish to the nearest intersection; for an assembly, refinish the entire unit.
