Inspection Report
Report #4
Page 1 of 1
Date: 2-9-18
Project: Orchard Creek Ranch LLC
Address: 156 County Rd. 137 Garfield County, CO
Building Permit No: BLRE-10-17-4973
General Contractor: Doug Hayes Construction
Contractor that Performed Work: Sopris Steel
Inspection of shop fabrication or field work at job site: Field
Report: Visually inspected field welding at tube steel bracing & inspected high
strength A325 bolting at steel beam & column connections main & upper framing
plan grids I to 0 from 12 to 20.
The onsite welding & bolting inspected above appeared to be in substantial
conformance with the plans, and the quality requirements of the AWS D1.1
Structural Welding Code & the AISC/RCSC Specification for high strength
bolting except as noted below.
1) It appeared that the bolt holes had been slotted and/or oversized with a torch to
allow for bolt alignment where one of the steel beams had to be adjusted main &
upper framing plan area grid L/12. Welded plate washers were placed over the
slotted and/or oversized holes at the web of the primary beam. But there were no
plate washers on the double angle clip side. It would be recommended that the
contractor verify with the structural engineer to see if they would like the angle
clips welded directly to the primary beam or the installation of some welded
washer plates with 13/16" diameter holes at the angle clip side to prevent any
vertical slippage that might possibly occur.
Further inspections will need to be performed as work progresses on the project.
