Special Inspections
Dept. Leader: Michael Vantran (michaelv@consultjtc.com)
Special Inspection is the monitoring of the materials and workmanship that are critical to the integrity of a building structure.
The International Building Code (IBC) established special inspection protocol and requires Structural Tests and Special Inspections for materials, installation, fabrication, erection and/or placement of components and connections. These special inspection processes require specific expertise to determine compliance with approved construction documents and referenced standards.
