Kleinfelder Statement of Qualifications for On -Call Material Testing and Special Inspection Services <br />for City of Santa Ana, RFP No. 20-111 <br />Placement of Reinforcing Steel. Our deputy inspectors will verify the reinforcing steel placement <br />prior to placement of concrete. Reinforcing steel is observed for size, spacing, type, grade, <br />identification, placement, and configuration. <br />Concrete Placement. Our deputy inspectors will observe <br />placement of reinforced concrete and sample the concrete <br />during placement. Our field services will include casting <br />cylinders for compression testing, monitoring of slump, <br />temperature, mixing time, mix design identification, and other <br />field testing required by the plans/specifications. <br />Welding of Structural Steel. Our deputy inspectors or an <br />American Welding Society (AWS) Certified Welding Inspector <br />(CWI) observe welding operations during structural steel <br />erection and connection at the project location. This is done on both a continuous and periodic basis <br />as dictated by the approved drawings and applicable codes. Our services include the observation of <br />welder certifications, material identification, joint fit -up, pre/post-weld heat treatment, and general <br />compliance of structural steel construction to the project requirements and applicable codes. <br />Installation & Tightenina of Hiah-Strength Bolts. Our deputy inspectors observe the installation <br />and tightening of high strength bolts as dictated on the project plans. We perform sampling and <br />tension/torque testing of high strength bolts in accordance with applicable codes and project <br />documents. <br />Non -Destructive Testing of Welds. Our deputy inspectors certified by ASNT in Ultrasonic Testing <br />(UT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Dye Penetrant Testing (DT), or Radiographic Testing (RT) <br />procedures perform nondestructive testing as required by the project plans, specifications, and <br />applicable codes. <br />Structural Steel Fabrication Shoo Inspection. Our deputy inspectors or AWS-CWI will observe <br />welding operations during fabrication shop welding prior to shipment of structural members to the <br />project site. This is done on both a continuous and periodic basis as dictated by the approved <br />drawings and applicable codes. Our services include the observation of welder certifications, material <br />identification, joint fit -up, pre/post-weld heat treatment, and general compliance of structural steel <br />construction to the project requirements and applicable codes. <br />Installation & Testina of Drilled -In -Anchors. Our deputy inspectors observe the installation of <br />reinforcing steellanchor bolts using either a chemical epoxy or mechanical anchor, as specified. Our <br />field services will include verification of the size, depth, spacing, and cleanliness of holes to receive <br />the reinforcing steeVanchors. We will also verify adherence with the manufacturer's specifications for <br />the chemical epoxy/mechanical anchor and conduct proof testing of drilled -in -anchors using <br />approved methods (tensionfload/torque testing). <br />Masonry Construction. Our deputy inspectors perform continuous inspection of the placement of <br />concrete masonry units, mortar, reinforcing steel, concrete grout, and items embedded in masonry. <br />We will also sample and test construction materials including pre -construction masonry prisms, grout, <br />and mortar for compression testing, as required by the project specifications. <br />Spray -Applied Fireproofing. Our deputy inspectors visually inspect the condition of surfaces of <br />structural steel to receive fireproofing. The contractor's method of mixing and application and perform <br />thickness testing, density testing, and adhesion/cohesion testing in accordance with the project <br />specifications is verified and the samples are transported to our laboratory for appropriate testing. <br />Post -Tensioned Concrete. Our deputy inspectors observe the placement of post -tensioning <br />tendons, monitoring of tendon profile, and placement of reinforcing steel and concrete. We also <br />measure and record elongation of the post -tensioning tendons during stressing operations. <br />� KLE/NFELOEH <br />M AQInncaoiv Kleinfelder 1 17 - <br />
