+title: Selective Electrical Demolition
+category: Electrical
+toc_depth: 3
+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/low-voltage-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).

+
+# Scope {toc}
+
+## This Standard governs the selective demolition, abandonment-in-place, capping, temporary support, and relocation of existing electrical systems rated 0-600/1000 V within a defined limit-of-work boundary.
+
+## Work of this Standard includes conductors and cables, raceways and conduit, wiring devices, outlet and junction boxes, panelboards, switchboards, disconnects, motor control centers, lighting fixtures, emergency and exit devices, fire alarm field devices, low-voltage system terminations, and their associated supports.
+
+## The Contractor shall perform a pre-demolition hazard assessment, verify deenergization of every circuit to be removed, coordinate with the live electrical system that remains in service, and document every circuit modified or abandoned before the work is accepted.
+
+## Selective electrical demolition is a high-hazard activity performed in close proximity to energized equipment that must remain in service, on buildings whose record documents are routinely incomplete. {note}
+
+## The dominant risks are not the physical removal but the human decisions that precede it: confirming which conductors are dead, sequencing shutdowns so occupants and life-safety systems are never stranded, and disposing of removed materials lawfully. Every requirement in this Standard is written to force those decisions onto paper before a tool touches a conductor. {note}
+
+## The pre-demolition electrical survey is the single most effective instrument for reducing requests for information and unforeseen-condition claims on this work. {note}
+
+## Renovation record drawings almost always omit circuits added after original construction. A survey that lists every circuit to be removed, every circuit to remain, each salvage decision, and the lockout/tagout sequence converts undocumented existing conditions into a coordinated plan instead of a field surprise. {note}
+
+## This Standard applies to systems rated 0-600/1000 V. Medium-voltage selective demolition above 1000 V is covered by site-specific scope under [[sync/medium-voltage-switchgear]] and is not addressed here. {note}
+
+## Full structure demolition to grade, demolition of non-electrical systems, and hazardous-material pre-work sequencing are the work of [[sync/selective-demolition]] and are not included in this Standard. {note}
+
+## Abatement of PCB-containing ballasts, mercury-vapor and fluorescent lamps, and lead-jacketed cable is performed under prerequisite hazardous-material contracts and is not work of this Standard. {note}
+
+## This Standard establishes the sequencing obligation - that abatement be complete and documented before electrical demolition begins - but does not specify abatement methods. {note}
+
+## New electrical installation following demolition is excluded: new conductors and cables are the work of [[sync/conductors-and-cables]], new raceways the work of [[sync/raceways-and-conduit]], and replacement panelboards the work of [[sync/low-voltage-panelboards]]. {note}
+
+## Arc flash incident-energy calculations and the short-circuit study are produced upstream under [[sync/electrical-safety-program]] and consumed here; this Standard does not duplicate the calculation methodology. {note}
+
+# Referenced Standards {toc}
+
+## Work of this Standard shall comply with the latest adopted edition of each of the following unless a specific edition is cited or a more recent edition is adopted by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
+
+## Where referenced standards conflict, the more stringent requirement shall govern unless the Engineer of Record directs otherwise in writing.

+## Action Submittals {toc}
+
+### The Contractor shall submit the following action items for review before any deenergization or removal begins:
+- Pre-demolition electrical survey listing every circuit to be removed, every circuit to remain energized, and each circuit's source panel and breaker designation
+- Demolition work plan with the deenergization strategy (full shutdown versus phased partial shutdown) and the shutdown sequence
+- Lockout/tagout sequence keyed to the survey, identifying each lock point, the responsible qualified person, and the verification method
+- Arc flash risk assessment confirmation or updated study for every panel and enclosure to be opened, with boundary distances and PPE category
+- Energized Electrical Work Permit (EEWP) for any task that cannot be performed deenergized, with justification
+- Temporary power and temporary lighting plan for the demolition phase and for occupants remaining in service
+- Salvage schedule identifying equipment designated for Owner reuse versus disposal or recycling

+default:
+ - Pre-demolition electrical survey
+ - Demolition work plan and shutdown sequence
+ - Lockout/tagout sequence
+ - Arc flash risk assessment / updated study
+ - Temporary power and lighting plan
+ - Salvage schedule
+```
+
+### The pre-demolition electrical survey shall be performed by a qualified person and reconciled against the available record drawings, with every undocumented circuit reported to the Engineer of Record before removal.
+
+### The arc flash risk assessment shall confirm that existing equipment labels reflect the present available fault current and upstream protective-device settings, or shall be updated to do so. {note}
+
+### Panels in renovated buildings frequently carry obsolete or absent arc flash labels. Available fault current and breaker settings may have changed since the original study, so an unverified label cannot be relied upon to select PPE. {note}
+
+## Closeout Submittals {toc}
+
+### The Contractor shall submit the following closeout items before final acceptance:
+- As-built red-line markups or updated drawings showing every circuit removed, abandoned, relocated, or re-spliced
+- Abandoned cable and conduit disposition record identifying each item removed or tagged for future use
+- Insulation-resistance and continuity test reports for every circuit modified, re-spliced, or re-terminated
+- Firestopping documentation for every fire-rated penetration created or disturbed by conduit removal
+- Hazardous-material disposal manifests for any regulated electrical components removed under this contract

+ - Test-instrument calibration records
+ - Fire alarm continuity coordination plan
+```
+
+# Quality Assurance {toc}
+
+## All work on or near energized electrical equipment shall be performed by a qualified person as defined in NFPA 70E-2024.
+
+## The Contractor shall designate a competent person for the demolition operation in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.850 and ASSE A10.6.
+
+## Justified energized work performed under an EEWP shall be performed by two qualified persons in accordance with NFPA 70E-2024. {note}
+
+## The 2024 edition added a second-qualified-person requirement for all justified energized work and mandated hearing protection inside the arc flash boundary. Contractor programs that still reference the 2021 edition do not satisfy this requirement. {note}
+
+## Test instruments used to verify deenergization shall be rated for the circuit under test and shall be within their calibration interval.
+
+## The Contractor shall verify operation of each voltage tester on a known live source immediately before and immediately after each deenergization check. {note}
+
+## A live-dead-live check confirms the tester itself is functioning, so that an absence-of-voltage reading is trusted rather than masking a defective instrument. {note}
+
+## Regulatory and Code Authority {toc}
+
+### Construction lockout/tagout shall comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.417; where an Owner facility energy-control program governs the premises, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 shall also apply. {note}
+
+### Mixed-occupancy renovations are frequently subject to both the construction LOTO rule and the Owner's general-industry program. The more stringent obligation governs where the two differ. {note}
+
+### Workmanship shall comply with NEC 110.12.
+
+### Arc flash labeling shall comply with NEC 110.16.
+
+### Fire protection during demolition in occupied buildings shall comply with NFPA 241, including maintenance of fire alarm coverage throughout each demolition phase.
+
+# Environmental and Service Conditions {toc}
+
+## The Contractor shall treat every conductor and every enclosure within the limit of work as energized until proven deenergized by test. {note}
+
+## Adjacent live systems, back-fed circuits, mislabeled panels, and undocumented additions are routine in renovation. A test-before-touch posture is the only defensible default. {note}
+
+## Coordination With Systems Remaining in Service {toc}
+
+### The Contractor shall maintain power, lighting, fire alarm, and life-safety service to all areas and occupants outside the demolition boundary throughout the work.
+
+### The deenergization strategy shall be selected to avoid creating a greater hazard than it removes, and shall account for circuits that cannot be interrupted without an approved temporary feed. {note}
+
+### Hospitals, occupied tenant spaces, and data centers contain loads that cannot tolerate an unplanned interruption. A phased partial shutdown with a temporary feed is often safer than a full shutdown, and an energized task under an EEWP is a last resort, not a convenience. {note}
+
+```datasheet
+label: Deenergization strategy
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Full shutdown of the affected service or feeder
+ - Phased partial shutdown with temporary feed to circuits remaining in service
+ - Energized work under EEWP for circuits that cannot be interrupted
+default: Phased partial shutdown with temporary feed to circuits remaining in service
+```
+
+### Where circuits remaining in service share a panel, raceway, or multi-wire branch circuit with circuits being removed, the Contractor shall isolate the remaining circuits before removal begins.
+
+## Temporary Power and Lighting {toc}
+
+### Temporary power required to maintain occupant loads, construction systems, and life-safety equipment shall be energized and proven before the existing source is removed. {note}
+
+### Demolishing an existing panel before its temporary replacement is energized strands occupants and systems such as elevators, HVAC, and life safety. The temporary path must be established in the work plan, not improvised in the field. {note}
+
+### Temporary distribution serving occupied areas shall be provided with ground-fault protection for personnel and shall be inspected before energization.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Temporary feed configuration
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Generator tap-box with cam-lock distribution to temporary panels
+ - Spider box distribution from existing service
+ - Factory-built temporary disconnect / isolation panel for downstream sub-feed

+
+# Pre-Demolition Hazard Assessment {toc}
+
+## The Contractor shall complete an arc flash risk assessment for every panel, switchboard, disconnect, and enclosure to be opened before any cover is removed. {note}
+
+## The assessment fixes the arc flash boundary and the PPE category for the specific equipment, voltage, and available fault current. It is the gate that every other deenergization step passes through. {note}
+
+## The arc flash boundary, restricted approach boundary, and PPE category shall be established from the upstream short-circuit and protective-device data in accordance with NFPA 70E-2024 and IEEE 1584-2018.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Arc flash assessment method
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Full IEEE 1584 incident-energy study of affected equipment
+ - NFPA 70E table method (default arc flash PPE categories)
+default: NFPA 70E table method (default arc flash PPE categories)
+```
+
+## The PPE category selected for each task shall meet or exceed the minimum for the system voltage and equipment class involved. {note}
+
+## Branch-circuit work at 120-208 V typically falls in PPE Category 1 (minimum 4 cal/cm² arc-rated clothing, face shield, safety glasses, and Class 00 rubber gloves). Interior work on a typical bolted-bus 480 V commercial panelboard typically falls in PPE Category 2 (minimum 8 cal/cm² arc-rated clothing). Calculated incident energy governs where it exceeds the table value. {note}
+
+```datasheet
+label: Minimum PPE category for the controlling demolition task
+type: select
+options:
+ - PPE Category 1 (4 cal/cm²)
+ - PPE Category 2 (8 cal/cm²)
+ - PPE Category 3 (25 cal/cm²)

+```
+
+## Hazardous Material Pre-Clearance {toc}
+
+### Abatement of PCB-containing ballasts, mercury and fluorescent lamps, and lead-jacketed conductors shall be complete and documented before electrical demolition begins in the affected area. {note}
+
+### Pre-1979 magnetic ballasts may contain PCBs and older lamps contain mercury. Removing fixtures before a hazardous-material survey clears them risks illegal disposal and EPA liability that attaches to the firm that handled the waste. {note}
+
+### The Contractor shall not remove luminaires, ballasts, or lamps from any area until the hazardous-material survey for that area is received and the items are cleared or routed to the abatement contractor.
+
+# Deenergization and Lockout/Tagout {toc}
+
+## The Contractor shall verify the identity of every circuit at the source panel before applying a lock, by circuit tracing and not by panel-directory label alone. {note}
+
+## De-energizing the wrong breaker on a mislabeled panel is the most common cause of unexpected energized exposure. Directories in renovation buildings are frequently wrong; a circuit tracer confirms the conductor at the work location corresponds to the breaker being locked. {note}
+
+## The Contractor shall apply lockout/tagout to each source device, then perform a test-before-touch absence-of-voltage check at each conductor before any contact. {note}
+
+## The lock prevents re-energization; the test confirms the conductor is actually dead at the point of work. Two-person verification of the absence-of-voltage check is best practice under NFPA 70E. {note}
+
+## Each conductor shall be tested for absence of voltage with a calibrated tester immediately before it is cut, terminated, or handled.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Circuit identity verification method
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Circuit tracer / tone set confirmation at source and load
+ - Visible open and test-before-touch with panel directory as cross-check
+default: Circuit tracer / tone set confirmation at source and load
+```
+
+```datasheet
+label: Absence-of-voltage verification
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Single qualified person, calibrated tester, live-dead-live check
+ - Two-person verification, calibrated tester, live-dead-live check
+default: Two-person verification, calibrated tester, live-dead-live check
+```
+
+## Multi-Wire Branch Circuits {toc}
+
+### Where a device on a multi-wire branch circuit is removed, the grounded (neutral) conductor shall be spliced through with a pigtail so that its continuity does not depend on the device. {note}
+
+### NEC 300.13(B) prohibits the continuity of the grounded conductor of a multi-wire branch circuit from depending on device connections. Removing a receptacle without a pigtail severs the shared neutral and can energize the neutral on the remaining circuits at line potential - a routine and dangerous demolition error. {note}
+
+### The Contractor shall identify every multi-wire branch circuit in the survey and shall not break a shared neutral while any phase of that circuit remains energized.
+
+# Removal, Abandonment, and Capping {toc}
+
+## Conductors and Cables {toc}
+
+### Conductors and cables to be removed shall be deenergized, verified dead, and removed entirely back to their source unless designated for abandonment or future use. {note}
+
+### Abandoned cables above accessible ceilings and in accessible spaces shall be removed unless tagged "Identified for Future Use" in accordance with NEC 800.25, 820.25, and 830.25. {note}
+
+### Communications, CATV, and network-powered broadband cable left abandoned and untagged is a routine cause of failed final inspection. The default expectation is complete removal; tagging for future use is the exception and must be explicit. {note}
+
+### Open wiring methods are prohibited; no removed conductor shall be left with an exposed energized or unterminated end. {note}
+
+### NEC 300.12 prohibits open wiring methods and abandoned conductor ends must be made safe - removed, capped, or properly terminated - never left bare. {note}
+
+```datasheet
+label: Abandoned power and signal cable disposition (accessible spaces)
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Remove entirely back to source
+ - Tag 'Identified for Future Use' and leave in place
+default: Remove entirely back to source
+```
+
+```datasheet
+label: Concealed cable in walls and slabs disposition
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Remove where accessible without destructive work
+ - Abandon in place and record on as-built drawings
+default: Abandon in place and record on as-built drawings
+```
+
+## Raceways and Conduit {toc}
+
+### Raceways and conduit serving removed circuits shall be removed entirely where accessible, or abandoned in place and capped where removal requires destructive access to slabs, chases, or concealed construction. {note}
+
+### Conduit cast in slab or buried in inaccessible chases is commonly left in place; the governing requirement is that its disposition be deliberate and recorded, not that it always be removed. {note}
+
+### Conduit left in place in a slab or wall shall be capped or plugged flush and its location recorded on the as-built drawings.
+
+### Existing raceways that remain in service and lose their support when adjacent construction is removed shall be re-supported in accordance with NEC 300.11 before the support is disturbed.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Conduit disposition
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Remove entirely
+ - Abandon in place, cap flush, and record on as-built

+options:
+ - Steel conduit plug, flush
+ - PVC conduit plug, flush

+default: Steel conduit plug, flush
+```
+
+## Equipment, Devices, and Fixtures {toc}
+
+### Panelboards, switchboards, disconnects, motor control centers, wiring devices, boxes, and luminaires within the limit of work shall be removed after their feed is deenergized, verified dead, and isolated from circuits remaining in service.
+
+### Equipment designated for Owner salvage shall be removed intact, protected, and delivered to the location directed by the Owner; equipment not salvaged shall be disposed of or recycled as directed. {note}
+
+### Intact panelboards, fixtures, and conduit may carry reuse or recycling value the Owner elects to capture. The salvage-versus-disposal decision belongs to the Owner and is recorded in the salvage schedule, not made unilaterally in the field. {note}
+
+```datasheet
+label: Removed equipment disposition
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Owner salvage - remove intact and deliver to Owner
+ - Contractor disposal
+ - Recycling with credit to Owner
+default: Contractor disposal
+```
+
+## Fire Alarm and Low-Voltage Systems {toc}
+
+### The Contractor shall coordinate any interruption of a fire alarm circuit with the fire alarm contractor and shall obtain Authority Having Jurisdiction notification and approval before the interruption, in accordance with NFPA 72 and NEC 760. {note}
+
+### Demolishing a ceiling or corridor area without a temporary fire alarm loop bypass trips the system or leaves occupants unprotected. This is a parallel-path obligation that generates the most costly RFIs on occupied-building demolition when a specification is silent on it. Coordinate fire alarm demolition itself under [[sync/fire-alarm-systems]]. {note}
+
+### Fire alarm field devices and their circuits shall remain in service until a temporary loop bypass or alternate coverage is approved and in place.
+
+### Low-voltage system terminations within the limit of work shall be removed or tagged for future use on the same disposition basis as power cables.
+
+# Grounding and Bonding Continuity {toc}
+
+## Before a metallic raceway that serves as an equipment grounding conductor path is cut, the Contractor shall install a bonding jumper to maintain continuity to equipment remaining in service. {note}
+
+## A metallic conduit run frequently doubles as the equipment grounding conductor for downstream loads. Cutting it without first bridging the path breaks grounding continuity to equipment still energized - a hidden hazard that no voltage test on the demolished circuit will reveal. Grounding electrode and bonding design for the remaining system is the work of [[sync/grounding-and-bonding]]. {note}
+
+## Where any portion of the grounding electrode system or a bonding conductor is removed, the affected continuity shall be rerouted and verified before the original path is abandoned.
+
+# Testing {toc}
+
+## Circuits that are modified, re-spliced, or re-terminated as part of the work shall be tested before the area is re-occupied or returned to service. {note}
+
+## Adjacent demolition can damage the insulation of circuits left in service, and re-spliced joints must be proven sound. ANSI/NETA ATS-2021 provides the acceptance protocols. {note}
+
+## Insulation resistance of modified 600 V-class conductors shall be not less than 1 MΩ measured at 500 VDC in accordance with ANSI/NETA ATS-2021.
+
+## Spliced joints in equipment grounding conductors shall exhibit a resistance not greater than 0.1 Ω measured with a low-resistance ohmmeter.

+
+# Installation {toc}
+
+## Penetration Firestopping {toc}
+
+### Every fire-rated wall, floor, or assembly penetration disturbed or opened by conduit or cable removal shall be restored to its original or better fire-resistance rating. {note}
+
+### When conduit is pulled through a rated barrier and the sleeve is left open, the opening becomes a code violation that later requires destructive access to remedy. The firestopping obligation must be assigned at the time of removal, not discovered at inspection. Firestop system selection is the work of [[sync/firestopping]]. {note}
+
+### Firestopping of disturbed penetrations shall comply with IBC 714 and the tested system requirements of ASTM E814.
+
+```datasheet

+ - Restore each disturbed rated penetration to original rating
+ - No rated penetrations within limit of work

+
+## Sequencing and Coordination {toc}
+
+### The Contractor shall not begin removal in any area until the survey, the deenergization plan, temporary power, hazardous-material clearance, and fire alarm coordination for that area are complete and approved.
+
+### Where the utility service or a utility-owned feeder is to be removed, the Contractor shall obtain the utility's written statement of deenergization before work begins, in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.850.
+
+### Undocumented circuits discovered during removal shall be reported to the Engineer of Record and shall not be removed until their disposition is directed in writing.
+
+## As-Built Documentation {toc}
+
+### The Contractor shall record every circuit removed, abandoned, relocated, re-spliced, or capped on as-built documentation and shall deliver it before final acceptance. {note}
+
+### The as-built is the permanent record that lets the next renovation crew trust what is live and what is dead. Abandoned-in-place conduit and cable are only acceptable when their location is documented. {note}
+

+# Delivery, Storage, and Handling {toc}
+
+## Equipment designated for Owner salvage shall be handled to prevent damage, protected from weather and impact, and stored or delivered as directed by the Owner.
+
+## Removed materials not designated for salvage shall be removed from the building promptly and shall not accumulate in egress paths or occupied areas. {note}
+
+## Demolition debris in an occupied building is both a fire-load and an egress hazard governed by NFPA 241; prompt removal keeps the active areas safe during phased work. {note}
+
+## Regulated hazardous components routed to abatement shall be segregated, containerized, and transferred to the responsible contractor with chain-of-custody documentation.
+
+# Warranty {toc}
+
+## The Contractor shall warrant that circuits remaining in service were not damaged by the demolition work and that all re-splices and re-terminations meet the acceptance test criteria.
+
+## The Contractor shall remedy, at no cost to the Owner, any deficiency in firestopping, grounding continuity, or circuit integrity within the limit of work that is discovered during the warranty period and attributable to the demolition work.

+
+# Spare Parts {toc}
+
+## Salvaged components retained by the Owner for reuse shall be inventoried, labeled with their original designation and rating, and delivered with the salvage schedule. {note}
+
+## Selective demolition is not a product-supply activity, so the only "spare parts" obligation is the orderly turnover of equipment the Owner elects to keep - labeled well enough to be reusable rather than scrapped by default. {note}
+
+## The Contractor shall deliver any manufacturer nameplate data, original circuit directories, and panel schedules recovered from removed equipment to the Owner with the closeout documents.
