Field Inspection Guidelines
Foreword
The Field Inspection Guidelines included in this handbook are
intended to provide Bechtel Field Engineers and Construction
Inspectors with a set of general inspection guidelines and
reminders based on generally accepted industry practice.
The items included in this handbook are not intended to replace
specific construction contract requirements, manuals, or industry
standards. Rather, they are intended to provide reference materi-
al on good work practices and inspections typically recommended
for the specific type of work covered.
Users of this handbook must consul the specific construction
contract, design documents, applicable industry standards, and
project procedures before performing actual field inspections for
acceptance of the work
These guidelines are provided as one source of employee devel-
‘opment information to help ensure that consistent quality work on
the project

Construction Inspections
A. Before Performing any inspections
Review the contract, specifications, drawings, industry standards,
vendor requirements, and other project agreements on the work to
be inspected.
Determine what is required to be inspected.
Determine the frequency of inspection required.
Determine the method of inspection
Determine requirements for thir-party inspections.
Develop a formal plan for project inspection activities,
2 Check all approved design drawings including any approved
changes associated with the work to be inspected.
Review material requirements for the materials to be used and
obtain material samples for use in inspection activities where
appropriate.
Review project procedures and/or the contractor quality plan to
determine requirements before starting any inspection activities.
'dentity which forms or documents must be completed to document
field inspection activites.
During Inspections
Check that only approved materials have been used.
W For materials that cannot be visually verified after installation,
establish controls to ensure that the correct materials have
been used,
Use material samples to verity that the in-place materials
match submitted samples, when appropriate.
Check key dimensional requirements including location, size, clear-
ances, spacing, and other key dimensions for the installation,
@ Perform any required inspection verification testing such as slump
testing, torque verifications, and pressure test verifications.
Ensure that properly controlled and calibrated materials and
testing equipment (M&TE) devices are used for verification
testing,
(2 When worker qualification requirements exist, ensure that qualified
personnel have performed the work
2 Document al inspections per project procedure requirements
Ifa formal quality control program is implemented on the proj-
ect, document all inspections performed on the required form.
