About this file

This is a Statement of Special Inspections document for the Sioux Falls Boiler Plant project at the Sioux Falls VA Medical Center (Project #438-22-900) with a date of 1/16/2025. The document outlines critical wind and seismic force resisting systems that require special inspection, including Ordinary Concentric Braced Frames, Ordinary Steel Moment Resisting Frames, and Ordinary Reinforced Concrete Shearwalls.

The document specifies that a Special Inspector of Record (SIOR) is not required per UFGS 01 45 35, Section 1.3.8. It details various horizontal and vertical Lateral Force Resisting System (LFRS) elements requiring inspection, such as continuous roof ties, concrete grade beams, OSB sheathed shear walls, and diaphragm cross rod bracing. The document also notes that Designated Seismic Systems (DSS) do not apply to this project due to the Seismic Design Category being less than C, though it includes provisions for final walk-down inspections and compliance documentation if such systems were present.
