a) Unless otherwise permitted by the EOR, the maximum diameter of cored slab shall be 75mm.
b) Consecutive cores (or adjacent cores) shall be spaced not less than 250mm center-to-center
or 100mm clear distance. Maximum number of cores shall be two (2) at any given area
adjacent to a beam/girder.
c) Prior to start of any coring works, the Tenant must obtain a copy of the framing plan of the
specified location to serve as reference in setting-out the locations of the proposed coring.
The Tenant shall then indicate on plan the size of the required concrete cores. The locations
shall be reflected on the plans and submitted to APMC for clearance.
d) Only coring with the use of a rotary drill coring equipment will be permitted. Coring by
hammering is strictly prohibited.
e) Once locations have been set-out, chip-off the slab concrete cover (top and bottom) to
expose the slab reinforcements.
f) As an alternative to chipping-off the slab cover, Tenant may use FERRO Scan to establish
the location of the slab reinforcements.
g) In no case shall cutting of existing slab reinforcements be allowed. Coring shall immediately
be discontinued once there are indications of presence of rebars that may be cut as a result
of the coring.
Page | 30
h) Overcutting of concrete core shall not be permitted.
i) Tenant shall see to it that any coring activity will not adversely affect the integrity and
soundness of the adjacent structural members or any adjacent electrical/mechanical utilities
or equipment.
j) After coring, Tenant shall clean the area and restore any chipped-off cover in excess of the
actual core diameter.
k) All cored slab opening shall be sealed and fire-proofed once utilities/conduits have been run
through them.
l) Final coring or cutting locations are to be indicated on the drawings and submitted to APMC
marked as “AS-BUILT”.
m) If tenant will require three (3) or more coring sample at any location of the existing structure,
then coring will be subject to EOR’s review and will be charged according to proposal.

the cut up plans. Any service upgrade beyond the allocated load shall be submitted for owner’s
evaluation. The approval of the upgrade shall depend on the availability of spare capacity of the
building. Such upgrade shall be for the merchant’s account. The current load allocation for each
tenant space as per design is 150VA/sq.m of GFA.
All exposed wiring system shall be done in intermediate metallic conduit (IMC). Limited use of
Metal flexible conduits is allowed up to 1800mm maximum for hard to reach areas, drop ceilings
and on light fixtures and outlet termination. Conduit termination to electrical boxes shall use the
proper type of adapters or connectors. Use of MICA tubing shall be limited to a length of six
inches (6”) on light fixtures and outlet termination.
3.1.1 General: The interior fit-out works shall be executed in accordance and in
compliance with the provisions of the latest edition of the Philippine Electrical
Code, the rules and regulations of the locality and the building general provisions.
Upgrade requirement by tenant shall be approved by Consultant/Admin.
3.1.2 Riser Feeders: Each typical office tenant floor of Ayala North Exchange Office
Tower 1 draws power from plug-in type busduct risers which draws power from its

5%) the Tenant shall provide step down transformer at his own cost. Location of
step down transformer shall be inside Tenant space.
3.1.6 Generator Power: Emergency power is provided by synchronized diesel-fueled

engine-generator sets. Upon loss of Meralco power, the generators are started
automatically and power is made available through automatic transfer switches
(ATS). Power supplied from the generators is at 400V/230 Volts (+/-5%), 3-phase, 4-
wire plus ground and 230V, 1-phase, 2-wire plus ground, 60 Hz.. Upon return of
Meralco power, power is restored automatically by the ATS. The Tenant space is
served with 100% emergency power (time of response is at least 10 seconds).

tenant loads are tapped, becomes disabled (or will be subjected to the annual
electrical preventive maintenance works), these loads can be transferred to the
redundant power riser provided for this purpose. The redundant power risers are
derived from the building’s low voltage switchgears which are connected to the main
power transformers.
Note: Manual transfer switches shall be operated only during emergency

condition. No transfer shall be done during normal power condition.
