*Field Inspection
Dear Mr. Blatz,
As requested, structural steel special inspection was conducted per the IBC 2018
Edition - Chapter 17: Structural Tests and Special Inspection and Garfield County
requirements. I arrived on-site at 8:30 AM. I met with Mr. Doug Somers to review the
material to be inspected and project requirements. The welding procedure specification
(WPS) and the welder qualification test reports (WPQR) have been previously reviewed
and were found to be acceptable.
Visual welding inspection was conducted on shop fabricated material and field
welded material according to the drawings supplied by Clearwater Construction: Drawing
# A 01 - Second Level Steel. I observed the base plate to column fillet welds, the column
to shear tab fillet welds and the shear tabs to beam fillet welds. Upon completion, I
observed all fillet welds to be in compliance with project specifications and the
inspection requirements as stated in Clause 8 of the AWS Dl.l: Structural Welding Code
- Steel: 2020 Edition.
High strength bolt inspection was conducted according to the drawings supplied
by Clearwater Construction: Drawing #A 01 - Second Level Steel. I observed all bolts to
be ASTM A325 plain body bolts fitted with a hardened flat washer properly positioned
under the turning surface of a heavy hex nut. I observed all bolts to be properly marked
with an "HT" indicating Hand Tightened. Upon completion, I observed all bolts were
found to be in compliance with project specifications and the inspection criteria of the
American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Research Council on Bolted
Connections (RCBC).
Continued inspection shall be conducted at a later date.
