I inspected the upper terminal building and loading deck footers prior to the concrete pour scheduled
for the afternoon of 12/11/18. The purpose of the inspection was to verify rebar and footer widths. No
layout verification or footer elevations were confirmed. I noted a few minor items that needed to be
modified prior to the pour commencing. All of the list below needed to be corrected prior to the pour. I
observed most of the corrections during my time on site.
1.) All dirt and chunks of mud on the rebar needs to be brushed off prior to pour.
2.) Vertical rebar extending 24" into the walls needs to be placed at a minimum of 12" c/c per the
plans. Additional bars need to be added where the footer elevations step to meet this
requirement at all locations.
3.) Ensure that all vertical bars are vertical after the pour and aligned to allow for connection of the
future wall rebar.
4.) Rebar clearance at GL A/1 does not meet the minimums. To remedy, the footer form is to be
moved to the other side of the step support (3" to the south). This will increase the footer size
from 16" to 19" and provide for adequate form to rebar clearance.
5.) Rebar in the south wall of the loading deck column pads needs to be modified per plans. The
vertical bars will not fit inside of the specified column as formed.
6.) Any loose mud, sediment or water under the isolated pads in the loading deck area needs to be
removed prior to pouring.
7.) The south east isolated pad under the loading dock was moved 1'-6 east from revision 3 plans to
the revision 4 — "For Construction" plans. It appears the pad is located in the R3 location. Move
the pad to the final R4 location.
The forms were covered overnight with insulated blankets. A Wacker ground heating machine was
onsite and operating at the time of my inspection. I was told it had been operating continuously over
the last several days. At the time of the inspection the outgoing line of the machine indicated a
temperature of 137° and I physically noted the incoming line was also warm. Based on the insulation,
heating and weather conditions, the forms are at an acceptable temperature for pouring.
