Description / Abstract:
This specification designates standard tolerances for concrete
construction.
The indicated tolerances govern unless otherwise specified.
Tolerances in this specification are for typical concrete
construction and construction procedures and are applicable to
exposed concrete and to architectural concrete. Materials that
interface with or connect to concrete elements may have tolerance
requirements that are not compatible with those contained in this
document.
This specification does not apply to specialized structures,
such as nuclear reactors and containment vessels, bins, prestressed
circular structures, and single-family residential construction. It
also does not apply to precast concrete or to shotcrete.
Tolerances for specialized concrete construction that is outside
the scope of this specification shall be specified in Contract
Documents.
A series of preconstruction tolerance coordination meetings
shall be scheduled and held prior to the commencement of the Work.
The Contractor, subcontractors, material suppliers, and other key
parties shall attend. All parties shall be given the opportunity to
identify any tolerance questions and conflicts that are applicable
to the work with materials, prefabricated elements, and Work
assembled/installed in the field by the Contractor.
