Results of the inspection are as follows: *Discrepancies, if any, are noted in BOLD 1) Welder Qualifications were reviewed for compliance AWS D1.1 2) Joist Girder to Column Welded Connections, Joist Girder to Panel Welded Connections and Joist to Joist Girder Welded Connections - lines A to F & 19 to 13 – sheets S2.02 & S2.01 A) Re-inspected item 1(B) from report 1477185 referencing the joist to joist girder welded connections. Reference details 211/S5.01 and 209/S5.01. Bolts were not installed in slotted holes in the joist seats. Per the ERECTOR NOTE on joist drawing sheet J1.0, bolts are required in joist seats with slotted holes. When bolts cannot be installed, or are removed, additional weld must be placed in slotted holes. At reinspected locations - additional welds have been added at the joist seats as required. This clears item 1(B) from report 1477185. B) Joist girder to column welded connections in the lines 14 to 18 & B to E were inspected per detail 209/S5.01. At inspected locations , the joist girder to column connections appeared to be per detail and visually acceptable. C) Joist girder to panel connections in lines 19 & B to E were inspected per detail 207/S5.01. Inspected joist girder to panel embed appeared to be completed per detail and visually acceptable.

Reference New Millennium sheet J2.3 and detail 202/S5.01. 3) Precast Panel to Foundation Welded Connections – lines F to A & 1, lines A & 1 to 19, lines 19 & A to F and lines F & 1 to 19 - sheets S1.01 & S1.02 *A) Connections were inspected /reinspected per details 103/S4.01 and 101/S4.01. Panel P101 was missing a connection plate on one side . The pier embed is misaligned and this connection will require an RFI. Panel 92 – lines 1&A – is missing (1) of (2) connections plates . It was noted on 10/14/24 that the connections plates for panels P24, P23, P25 and P51 have been spliced. The spliced connection plates at panel P23 have been addressed. The spliced connections plates for panels P24, P25 and P51 still requir e corrective action. The non-compliant welds for the connections plate at panel P3 have been repaired. The missing connections plates for panel P11 and P12 (noted on report 1477185) have been added . See item 2(A) on report 1477185. 4) HSS(10”x10) Colum to Column Sleeve Welded Connections – lines 8 to 18 & A to F – sheets S1.01 and S1.02 A) Inspected connections in the referenced lines have been completed per the contract drawing and details. Reference details 102/S4.01, 10/S0.04 and detail “A” on sheet AR102. 5) Joist To Precast Panel Welded Connections - lines A to F & 19 to 13 – sheets S2.02 & S2.01 – item 1(A) – item 1(A) – Report 1477185 A Along lines F & 18 to 13 – the joist to joist seat connections were inspected per detail 205/S5.01. Reference erection detail 2/E3002. The inspected joists were not fully bearing on the joist seats at the precast panel along line F. Gaps were visible.
