The following was noted during the field visit:
1. Structural steel work was observed in progress in Unit B.
a. MC10 steel channel column reinforcement was in place and temporarily welded to
columns. Contractor to fully weld channels in accordance with the design
documents and approved shop drawings.
b. Lower brace frame angles were in the process of being removed at both the 5/7
and 9/11 column bays across the full width of Unit B. Contractor was reminded
that the approved sequencing plan permits only one of those column bays to have
existing braces removed at a time to maintain the integrity of the lateral system
until the new moment frames are in place. Contractor stated they would replace
the brace angle bolts that had been removed in bay 5/7 until the work was complete
in bay 9/11.
2. Steel work in Unit C had not begun at the time of observation.
3. Dock levelers in Unit C between column lines X and AA were observed to be removed
with the existing slab on grade cut back to accommodate the planned infills.
Other than as noted above, the structural work was observed to be progressing in general
conformance with the requirements of the structural design documents.
The above items were reviewed with the general contractor prior to my departure from the site.
