Scope

The scope includes:

• Site inspection of two steel structures, including primary and secondary members.
• Assessment of structural components such as columns, beams, trusses, purlins, girts, and bracings.
• Inspection of bolted connections, weld quality, paint or galvanizing coverage, and corrosion or damage.
• Verification of bearing plates, anchor bolts, grouting, base plates, and temporary supports.
• Assessment of lifting points and hoisting equipment safety.
• Preparation of a detailed inspection report with findings, defects, corrective actions, and priority ratings.

Technical Requirements

The technical requirements for the inspection include:

• Use of appropriate tools such as ultrasonic thickness gauges and torque wrenches.
• Visual inspection for cracks, porosity, undercut, deformation, corrosion, and fabrication defects.
• Checking verticality, plumbness, and alignment of structural elements.
• Assessment of bolted and welded connections for wear, tear, and quality.
• Inspection of paint or galvanizing for coverage, thickness, and damage.
• Identification of rust, peeling, or coating failures.
• Verification of installation and safety of bearing plates, anchor bolts, and grouting.
• Ensuring temporary supports and lifting equipment are safe and properly used.

Skills Requirements

The service provider must possess:

• Experience in steel structural inspections, repairs, refurbishments, and painting.
• Ability to conduct ultrasonic thickness testing, visual weld inspections, and structural alignment assessments.
• Knowledge of safety regulations, including OSHA standards, for working around and within active facilities.
• Capability to prepare detailed inspection reports with technical findings and remediation recommendations.
• Qualified personnel with relevant certifications in structural inspection and safety compliance.
