Summary
This course includes valuable actionable content, including:
- Guidance on creation of Inspection and test plans (ITP’s)
- Recommendations for content of ITP’s for all areas of inspection
- Checklists for scope of coverage of ITP’s
- Sample ITP structure
With these resources you will be able to quickly and effectively either create your own inspection protocol or review and provide guidance on ITP’s developed by others.
Course Content
The importance of adhering to safety standards and regulations are of the utmost importance to ensure that steel structures are designed and constructed in a way that prioritizes safety. Adhering to these standards and regulations can help prevent failures from occurring and protect workers and the public.
The non-compliance and failure of structural steelwork on projects highlights the need for careful attention to detail throughout the design, construction, and maintenance process. By prioritizing safety and taking the necessary steps to ensure that steel structures are built to last, we can help prevent future incidents and protect those who rely on these structures.
Site inspections are an important part of the process to ensure safe steel structures and are undertaken for a number of reasons, including:
• Statutory requirements, as part of the building certification process
• Legal requirements, as included in the contract or specification
• Functional requirements, as part of the quality management process implemented by the constructor
Irrespective of the ultimate aims of the inspection, this course presented by ASI National Technical Development Manager Dr Peter Key is specifically designed to provide participants with a core understanding of the decisions that need to be made and inspections implemented before, during and after the construction process. The course also touches on contemporary issues, such as steel quality and compliance, which must be managed in today’s construction environment.
This will suit structural engineers, builders, fabricators and steel erectors-riggers. This course is 3 hours and 20 minutes long (without quizzes).
