Utility shutdowns for this work will mostly occur on weekends or late at night. Before any work can begin a clear plan of all electrical work must be submitted to the VA for approval. This plan should very specific on time lines and give step by step instructions for each piece of work to be completed. All work, including all hot work must comply with NEC and NFPA 99, 70E.
