It appears there is welding on this project. Welding requires special inspection. Please provide a letter from the Owner indicating who they will be hiring to provide the special inspections for this project. The special inspectors must be licensed by MOA in the types of inspections to be performed. Reference IBC section 1703.1
Comment not applicable. Ross Noffsinger has set precedence on this on a previous project. Since these are non structural components that are not listed as requiring special inspections in Chapter 17 of IBC, they do not require special inspections. WAB - 12/9/2014
