Structural steel inspection & test plan
Materials, fabrication, welds, fasteners, coatings and erection. Select the work in your package.
Have us prepare it ยท USD 99Material certificates and traceability
Verify section, plate, bolt and consumable identity and link supplied steel to certificates/heat or batch evidence.
Check markings, tags, delivery dockets and certificates against material register and approved grade schedule.
Material condition and storage
Inspect received steel and consumables for damage, corrosion, distortion, contamination and protected storage.
Visual inspection on receipt and before use; check storage requirements for consumables.
Fabrication set-out and cutting
Check member identity, cut lengths, hole positions, edge preparation and fabrication dimensions.
Measure against shop/approved drawings and fabrication schedule before assembly or welding.
Welding documentation readiness
Verify approved welding procedures, weld map, consumables and personnel qualifications required by project.
Review WPS, procedure qualification evidence, welder qualifications/continuity and consumable records against weld schedule.
Fit-up and joint preparation
Inspect joint preparation, root gap, alignment, cleanliness, backing and fit-up before welding.
Visual and dimensional checks against approved joint detail and applicable WPS.
Welding process controls
Check weld execution records include joint identity, WPS, welder, date and any specified environmental/process controls.
Observe/record welding and review production logs against approved WPS and project requirements.
Completed weld visual inspection
Inspect completed welds for profile, visible defects, size and completion against weld map and acceptance criteria.
Visual inspection by project-designated competent inspector; use measuring gauges where required.
Specified NDT
Arrange and review only the NDT methods, extent and acceptance specified for the welds.
Match NDT request/report to joint IDs and weld map; verify method, operator, equipment and report disposition as required.
Bolt and fastener receipt
Check bolt assemblies, grade, lot identity, coating/condition and required certificates.
Review packaging marks, certificates and delivery register against connection schedule and installation specification.
Bolt installation and verification
Inspect connection assembly, fit, washer/nut arrangement and the project-specified installation/verification evidence.
Observe installation method and examine calibrated tool records or verification tests only where required by project.
Protective coating surface preparation
Check substrate preparation, cleanliness, profile and environmental conditions before coating.
Inspect surface against specified coating system and record preparation method/environment; verify traceability before blasting/galvanizing where required.
Coating application and thickness
Inspect applied coating system, coverage, dry film thickness or galvanizing checks as specified.
Review batch records and use specified inspection method/instrument; record calibration and measurement locations.
Fabrication release and delivery
Compile material, dimensional, weld, NDT and coating records; inspect member markings and transport condition.
Review manufacturing data book against member register; inspect before dispatch and again on receipt.
Erection and temporary stability
Check erection sequence, lifting/temporary bracing, member orientation, plumb/level and connection completion against approved erection documents.
Observe erection and survey critical geometry against approved drawings and temporary works/erection method.
Grout, final connections and closeout
Inspect specified baseplate grout and final connection completion; close out defects and as-built records.
Check grout product, preparation/application records where required; verify final bolt/weld completion, survey and NCR closure.
