The inspector shall be an independent testing agency selected by the joist manufacturer and approved in writing by the Architect/Engineer. The expense of this inspection and testing will be included in the joist bid. It shall be the responsibility of the general contractor and/or his steel joist fabrication subcontractor to insure that the steel joist fabricator has a copy of these specifications prior to the commencement of shop drawings and fabrication. It shall be the responsibility of the steel joist fabricator to furnish a copy of these specifications to the independent testing agency. Prior to approval of the testing agency by the Architect/Engineer, a letter indicating the qualifications of the testing agency and all personnel to be utilized in the inspection of the joists, a statement about the proposed techniques for inspection, and a statement about the proposed techniques for inspection, and a statement that they have read and understood these specifications, shall be submitted to the Architect/ Engineer. As well, a highly visible statement shall appear on the joist shop drawings indicating which joists are to receive special inspection by internal quality control personnel and which are to be inspected by the independent testing lab. It shall be the responsibility of the general contractor and/or his steel fabrication subcontractor to provide to the steel joist fabricator the names and addresses of the general contractor, the Architect's office, and the Structural Engineer for distribution of necessary reports. It shall also be the responsibility of the joist manufacturer to notify the testing agency as to when it is to be present at the joist plant. Efforts shall be made by the inspector to perform the required inspections without disrupting the fabricator's flow of work. However, the fabricator's desired production rate will not take precedence over the specified quality requirements and the inspector's ability to perform the necessary inspections.

B. The inspector shall make certain that only material conforming to the specifications are used in the fabrication of the order.

C. The inspector shall make certain that all welding procedures are covered by a written welding procedure specification, a copy of which shall be made available to the Architect/Engineer upon request.

D. The inspector shall permit welding to be performed only by welders and welding operators who have been previously certified and whose certifications are current.

E. When the quality of a welder or welding operator's work appears to be below the requirements of this welding specification, the inspector may require that the welder or welding operator demonstrate his ability to produce sound welds by means of a simple fillet weld-break test or by requiring complete re-qualification in accordance with the American Welding Society code requirements. The inspector shall require re-qualification of any welder or welding operator who has not used the process for which he has been qualified for a period exceeding six (6) months.

F. The inspector shall make certain that the size, length, and location of all welds conform to the requirements of the joist manufacturer's design detail drawings.

G. The inspector shall make certain that the electrodes being used in fabrication of the joists are used only in the position and with the type of welding current and polarity for which the electrodes are classified.

H. The inspector shall observe the technique and performance of each welder and welding operator at such intervals as may be required to assure that the applicable welding requirements are met.

I. The inspector shall examine all work to make certain that the work being received meets the welding requirements of Paragraph B-11 of this procedure.

J. The inspector shall mark on all parts or joints that been rejected in order that the proper repairs can be made and the piece shall be re-inspected after the repairs have been completed. If this takes place after the joist has left the production line, a distinctive mark shall be placed on the joist and a written record kept of the basis of rejection and means of repair.

05210 - Page 2 of 4

K. The inspector shall keep a written record of the qualifications of all welders, welding operators, welding procedures or other tests that are made on the order and such other information as may be required.

L. The quality of all welds shall be visually inspected and a weld shall be inspected by visual inspection if the weld shows that: a. The weld has no cracks. b. Thorough fusion exists between adjacent layers of weld metal and between

weld metal and the base metal at the welded connection. c. All craters are filled to the full cross section of the weldjoint. d. All weld profiles shall be reasonably uniform. It is

recognized that all web joint welds will not have a perfect profile. However, the effective throat and penetration shall be equal to the throat required by the design drawings. Visual inspection of the welds shall be made to confirm that unequal legs, excessive convexity, or overlap conditions do not detract from the effective throat of the weld.

e. Undercutting of welds is undesirable but is acceptable if the depth of undercutting does not exceed 1/32". Welds that have undercutting in excess of 1/32" shall be repaired and reinspected.

f. Any cluster of surface porosity in the weld area is to be removed and replaced with sound weld material.

g. The surface of the shop welds shall be reasonably clean prior to inspection.

M. The inspector shall notify the manufacturer's Quality Control Department immediately of all welding discontinuities encountered in order that the necessary corrective action can be taken to correct these conditions.

N. The inspections, both in-house and independent, shall have written reports of the inspection results issued to the general contractor, the Architect/Engineer and to the structural steel supplier. In the case of in-house inspection, where multiple production lines and inspectors are involved, the reports may be issued by the quality control supervisor, provided it can be proven by the joist manufacturer to the Architect/Engineer that this supervisor is personally involved in observing the work of the line inspectors on a regular and virtually continuous basis and is personally knowledgeable of the contents, intent, and desired results of this specification. These reports shall be issued for each shift for every day the job is in production.

0. The above inspection procedures do not preclude the Architect/ Engineer or Owner from employing a separate independent testing agency for the purpose of further inspections at the job site.

3.3 ERECTION:
