About this file

This document is a Statement of Structural Tests and Special Inspections for a National Park Service project at Devil's Tower National Monument to replace obsolete housing. The document details comprehensive structural testing and inspection requirements following the 2021 International Building Code (IBC-21), covering multiple construction disciplines including steel, concrete, masonry, wood, soils, and deep foundation elements. The inspection requirements are extensive, specifying continuous and periodic inspections for various construction stages, with detailed qualifications required for inspectors such as Professional Engineers, Certified Welding Inspectors, and specialized technicians from organizations like the American Concrete Institute and International Code Council. The project management information system (PMIS) number is 228872, and the structural engineering firm is PES Structural Engineering, with the document prepared and stamped by Travis Paul, P.E. on 12/3/24.

The inspection protocol mandates rigorous verification processes across construction phases, including material identification, welding procedures, reinforcement placement, foundation preparation, and compliance with specific building code sections. Inspectors must maintain complete records and document acceptance or rejection of structural elements, with frequencies ranging from daily checks to periodic assessments of specific construction activities. The document covers testing requirements for critical structural components like steel connections, concrete placement, masonry construction, and foundation elements, ensuring comprehensive quality control throughout the construction process at Devil's Tower National Monument.
