Please find attached to this procedural report the Structural Steel Special Inspection Final Report for the
Coca -Cola Loading Dock renovations and the supporting Special Inspection Daily Reports.
Special Inspection and Testing Procedures
The special inspection services were periodically provided by International Code Council (ICC) certified
special inspectors in accordance with the requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code,
Chapter 1700 of the International Building Code (IBC) and the project plans and specifications.
The purpose of special inspections is to provide a review of the contractor's work designated by the
project structural engineer as needing special inspection under the guidelines of the IBC to determine
compliance with the approved construction documents. The special inspector doesn't have the
responsibility or authority to, nor is it the intent of special inspections to have them, judge or modify
the construction documents. Only the structural engineer of record can do this.
As the special inspections were completed, a Special Inspection Daily Report was prepared to
summarize the results of our inspections and testing. A copy of this report was provided to the
contractor's site representative for their review and records. As part of this report, items needing
correction or discrepancies observed from the approved construction documents were noted. We also
summarized the discrepancies documented in a Discrepancy Log. As needed, we also contacted the
project structural engineer for additional clarification on specific issues related to the drawings or
discrepancies observed.
Plans and Specifications
The plans and project documents available at the site were used for our inspections. From time to
time, we received plan modifications from the structural engineer. When received, these were used to
evaluate the work completed in the field.

Visual Examination of Field Welds
Visual examination of the field welds was conducted in accordance with American Welding Society
(AWS) D1.1 -2008, Figure 5.4 and Table 6.1 requirements and the requirements of the project plans
and specifications.
Hex -Head Bolted Connection Observations
Hex -head bolting observations were performed to determine if the bolt holes were filled, if the correct
bolts were used, if the nuts were fully engaged and if they appeared to be snug tight. Each hex -head
bolted connection was observed for fit -up and to determine if the various plies were in contact with
one another. Random bolts were also selected at various connections to determine if the nuts were
snug tight.
Metal Deck Weld Observations
Metal deck weld observations were conducted in general accordance with AWS D1.3 -1998, Section 6.0
requirements and the requirements of the project plans and specifications. Items reviewed included
the quality, size and spacing of the welds. In addition, the location and the completeness of the side lap
fastener installation were observed and evaluated.
Metal Deck Mechanical Fasteners
Observations of the metal deck mechanical fasteners were completed to document the screw fasteners
were installed as required in the construction documents and in accordance with the requirements of
the manufacturer. Items noted were the placement and the depth of penetration.
Drilled in Expansion Anchors
Observations were preformed after the installation of the drilled in expansion anchors to determine if
they were installed according to the project documents. Items observed included the placement, if the
nuts were fully engaged, if the adjoining plies were in contact with one another and if the nuts were
snug tight.
