Retrofit pipe penetration in concrete wall
Retrofit pipe penetration in concrete wall
(OP)
An MEP we work with asked for advice on a pipe penetration they want to install as part of an upgrade in an existing building (ca. 1986). Need to put a 12" pipe with 1" insulation (so...14" dia penetration) through a 14" thick concrete wall at 1st story of 3 story building. I have only partial building drawings -- from those, I believe the reinforcement is in one layer, #6@ 12" horiz. and #7@10" vertical. Penetration is to be located a few feet above existing door opening at grade. We don't have details showing exact conditions around door.
I've never had to retrofit a penetration that would interrupt reinforcement in an existing wall; anyone have experience and can advise what the simplest/most cost-effective course of action might be?
Thanks.

The reinforcing pattern says otherwise though. So, ...no...
