What are threshold inspections?
Threshold inspections, also known as threshold inspections and special inspections, are a type of construction inspection that focuses on specific critical aspects of a building’s construction process. These inspections are required to ensure that certain essential components of a structure, which may impact its safety and compliance with building codes, are properly installed and meet the necessary standards. Threshold inspections are typically performed by qualified inspectors or engineering professionals with expertise in the relevant fields.
Components that may require a threshold inspection:
- Concrete and Reinforcement: Inspections of the placement and curing of concrete, as well as the installation of reinforcement, to ensure structural integrity.
- Welding: Inspections of welded connections in structural steel or other metal components to verify proper welding techniques.
- Soil and Foundation: Inspections of soil conditions and foundation construction, including footings and piers, to ensure stability.
- Masonry: Inspections of masonry work, such as brick or block walls, to ensure proper installation and adherence to design specifications.
- Structural Steel: Inspections of structural steel members, connections, and welding to ensure they meet safety and load-bearing requirements.
- Fireproofing: Inspections of fireproofing materials to ensure they are applied correctly to maintain fire safety.
