I realize that the majority here are the electricians and contractors.
Gary, you are not the only one that doesn’t work in the trade, I haven’t been in the trade since I let my license expire in 1979. So far, I haven’t seen anybody try to get rid of me.
The new "if present" combined with the exception for existing slabs could certainly be abused. For instance: Is a new foundation poured the week before the EC shows up on the job considered "existing"?
In my opinion, this provision will be abused a lot until we get past the rough spots. I think it will be easy for the concrete people to turn up a piece of rebar so that it will be accessible after the pour.
