City of Lino Lakes, MN 7 Construction Observation The inspector assigned to this project will be a NACE Trained Coating Inspector and/or AWS Certified Welding Inspector. All of our inspectors have extensive practical experience and knowledge of water storage tank reconditioning. They are experienced sandblasters, painters, climbers, riggers, coating inspectors, welders and welding inspectors which allow the inspector to perform inspections alongside the contractor to ensure conformance to the project specification. At a minimum, the field inspections will include the following: • A preconstruction meeting with the client and contractor to clearly define the role of the Engineer and Inspector and to discuss the intent of the specifications. • Monitoring and approval of the structural repairs and modifications for conformance to the specifications. • Inspection of the abrasive blasting media and equipment for conformance to the specifications and to prevent contamination of surfaces during surface preparation with moisture and oil or other contaminants • Monitoring the paint removal and abatement process for conformance to the specifications and environmental regulations. • Monitoring the contractors mixing and application of the coatings for conformance to the specifications and the coating manufacturer's recommendations. • Approving surface preparation samples. • Recording the contractor's progress for adherence to the construction schedule. • Submittal of daily and weekly inspection reports. Prepare and file copies of the reports on construction activities. • Review progress payments. • Coordinate and review testing of materials for conformance to the specification and environmental regulations. • Work directly with residents and property owners to answer questions and respond to Construction related issues. • Monitor punch list items and subsequent corrective action by the contractor. • Final inspection, substantial completion, and project acceptance. The duration of the field inspection depends upon the construction schedule alternate selected during the bid evaluation process and on the time it takes the contractor to perform the structural repairs and coating work.
