1 SECTION STEEL HEALTHCARE CASEWORK This guide specification has been prepared by InnerSpace Corporation to assist design professionals in the preparation of a specification section covering steel casework for healthcare facilities. Movable cabinets and carts can also be included in this section. Due to the wide variety of casework components available, this section does not attempt to describe each component in detail, but instead covers the basic materials and construction. Specific model numbers can then be included in the schedule provided at the end of this section or called out on the drawings. Refer to InnerSpace Corporation literature for specific model numbers and additional information on these products. This specification may be used as the basis for developing either a project specification or an office master specification. Since it has been prepared according to the principles established in the Manual of Practice published by The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), it may be used in conjunction with most commercially available master specifications systems with minor editing. Other InnerSpace Corporation products are covered by the following guide specifications: Section Stainless Steel Healthcare Casework Section Plastic Laminate Healthcare Casework The following should be noted in using this guide specification: Notes are included to assist the user in editing the section to suit project requirements. These notes are included as hidden text, and can be revealed or hidden by one of the following methods: Microsoft Word: From the pull-down menus select TOOLS, then OPTIONS. Under the tab labeled VIEW, select or deselect the HIDDEN TEXT option. Corel WordPerfect: From the pull-down menus select VIEW, then select or deselect the HIDDEN TEXT option. Optional text requiring a selection by the user is enclosed within brackets, e.g.:?section [09000.] [.] Items requiring user input are enclosed within brackets, e.g.:?section [ - ]. Optional paragraphs are separated by an?or statement, e.g.: **** OR **** "Green" requirements are included for projects requiring LEED certification, and are included as green text. For additional information on LEEDS, visit the U.S. Green Building Council website at This guide specification is available in a variety of electronic formats to suit most popular word processing programs.
