Water and keep hardened concrete wet for not less than 24 hours before placing the next lift or abutting concrete. Cover the horizontal surfaces of existing or previously placed and hardened concrete with a 2" thick layer of fresh concrete of required mix less 50 percent of coarse aggregate just before balance of concrete is placed.

F. Vertical Elements: Stop placement of concrete in walls and columns 1 1/2" below bottom of beams or supported slabs. Stop placement at sills and heads of wall openings in the same manner.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 FIBER OPTIC CABLING PRACTICE
A. Service Loop.

1. At IDF's and BDF's, at both ends of cables, provide at least 30 feet of fiber in excess of that required to reach the patch panel by a dressed route. Form into a storage loop and fix in place as directed by the Owner's Representative.

2. At the Telecomm Building, provide at least 30 feet of fiber in excess of that required to reach the patch panel by a dressed route. Form into a storage loop and fix in place in the cable vault (outside of the machine room) as directed by the Owner's Representative.

B. Splicing.

1. Interior: Provide fusion splices.

2. Exterior: Do not splice at exterior unless splicing is indicated on Plans. In such circumstances, provide fusion splices.

C. Termination Methods.

1. Review proposed breakout procedure with the Owner's Representative before beginning this work.

2. Use full cable breakout method. Display both connectorized and nonconnectorized fibers entering a patch panel.

City of San Luis Obispo Co unications Cabling Standards Section 171 0 17130 – COMMUNICATIONS INDOOR BACKBONE CABLING

3. Remove sheath so that no more than 4 inches of unstripped cable enters the panel.

4. Strip back a sufficient amount of cable so that fiber strands wrap at least one full wrap, circle or figure eight, inside the panel with the connectorized ends attached to the most distant bulkhead connectors.
