Selective Electrical Demolition

Read revision 3

Revision 3 · Oct 19, 2026 +1 −1

Remake batch 26: rewritten from scratch under the authoring cheatsheet with datasheet constraints; neighbors re-pointed to the new scope boundaries; the electrical code is now the adopted-electrical-code project fact
Showing changes from Rev 2 to Rev 3 in Selective Electrical Demolition.

title: Selective Electrical Demolition
…2 unchanged lines
description: >
When to use: Planned, sequenced removal, abandonment-in-place, capping, temporary support, and relocation of existing 0-600/1000 V electrical systems within a defined limit-of-work boundary on renovation, tenant improvement, adaptive reuse, occupied-building phased, and systems-replacement projects. Covers pre-demolition hazard assessment (arc flash, energized work permit, lockout/tagout sequence), deenergization verification, coordination with the live system remaining in service, salvage decisions, abandoned cable identification and removal, penetration patching, and as-built documentation of modified or abandoned circuits.
− Not intended for: Full structure demolition and non-electrical systems demolition (sync/selective-demolition); hazmat abatement of PCB ballasts, mercury lamps, and lead-jacketed cable (sync/selective-demolition); new electrical installation after demolition (sync/conductors-and-cables, sync/raceways-and-conduit, sync/panelboards); arc flash incident-energy and short-circuit studies (sync/electrical-safety-program); the project-wide Electrical Safety Program and written LOTO procedures (sync/electrical-safety-program); enclosure types, seismic restraint, and new firestopping common to new work (sync/common-work-results-electrical); grounding electrode and bonding design (sync/grounding-and-bonding); fire alarm demolition and continuity (sync/fire-alarm-systems); and medium-voltage demolition above 1000 V (sync/medium-voltage-switchgear).
