as magnetic particle, ultrasonic or any other aid in addition to visual inspection that he or she may deem <br />necessary to assure the adequacy of the welding per approved structural plans and job specifications. <br />Also, we will provide an NDT Technician to perform ultrasonic testing and magnetic particle testing as <br />required by the approved plans as needed. <br />• Masonry Special Inspection: We will provide an ICC structural masonry inspector during construction of <br />the masonry (CMU) walls. We will sample and compression -test grout, mortar and block. When directed <br />by the Project Inspector, we will extract a core from the constructed walls for laboratory compression <br />testing. <br />• Masonry Veneer Field Testing: We will provide an ICC structural masonry inspector to perform field test <br />of adhered masonry veneer. Our inspector will use calibrated shear testing equipment to perform the shear <br />testing per project approved documents. <br />• Structural Wood Framing Special Inspection: Our services will consist of periodic inspection of nailing, <br />bolting, anchor and other fastening of shearwall, blocked floor and roof diaphragm, drag strut, seismic <br />brace, shear panel and hold down assembly. We will provide an inspector that has been certified to <br />observe the installation of fasteners. Our inspector will inspect the installation of these fasteners in <br />accordance with structural plans and specifications. <br />• Materials Laboratory Testing: Our services will consist of testing of the following materials in our <br />laboratory: <br />• Reinforcing Steel: Tensile and bend tests will be performed in accordance with ASTM A615 or A706. <br />• Concrete: Concrete laboratory curing and compressive strength testing of field -molded concrete test <br />cylinders will be performed in general accordance with ASTM C31 and C39, respectively. Verbal <br />and/or e-mail reports will be provided for 7-day breaks. We will provide a final one -page report <br />summarizing compressive strength tests results for a given set of cylinders (four cylinders, plus one <br />hold) after the 28-day breaks are completed. <br />• High Strength Grout: Compression testing of grout prisms molded by our representative will be <br />performed in accordance with ASTM C109. <br />• Masonry: Compression testing of mortar cylinders and grout prism test specimens molded by our <br />representative will be performed in accordance to ASTM C270 and C1019. Concrete masonry units will <br />be tested in accordance with ASTM C140 (compression, moisture content, absorption & unit weight). <br />Masonry core -drilled samples will be tested in accordance with CBC 2105A.4. <br />• Post -Installed Anchors: We will perform tensile testing of the anchors. Verbal and/or e-mail reports will <br />be provided. We will provide a final on -page report summarizing the test results. <br />• High Strength Bolts: We will perform tensile testing of the high strength bolts. Verbal and/or e-mail <br />reports will be provided. We will provide a final on -page report summarizing the test results. <br />• Project Management and Reporting: This scope of work will consist of reviewing DFRs and laboratory <br />test results, and preparing these reports for distribution. Special Inspection/Materials concerns <br />encountered in the field and noted in the daily reports, and any material tested and found to not conform to <br />project specifications, will be brought to the attention of your designated representative (s). Supervision, <br />quality control and project management will be provided by our Geotechnical Engineer. <br />• Project Closeout: we will prepare a final affidavit summarizing the material testing and special inspection <br />provided during construction. <br />
