About this file

This is a Statement of Structural Tests and Special Inspections prepared by the National Park Service Denver Service Center for the Munising Falls Trail Rehabilitation project at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (PMIS Number 226930). The document, prepared by structural engineering firm TYLin Silman Structural Solutions and stamped by PE Alberto Mena on June 23, 2025, outlines inspection and testing requirements mandated by Chapter 17 of the 2024 International Building Code (IBC 2024).

The project involves an elevated boardwalk frame and cantilevered foundations. Seismic design requirements are not applicable as the project falls under Seismic Design Category A per ASCE 7-22, requiring only compliance with Section 1.4. Wind requirements are similarly not applicable as the basic wind speed is less than 140 mph. The document provides comprehensive inspection requirements across multiple construction disciplines including structural steel, concrete construction, masonry, wood construction, soils, and deep foundation elements. For structural steel work, required inspections include welder qualification verification, welding procedure specification compliance, material identification, fit-up inspections of groove and fillet welds, nondestructive testing (ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing), bolting operations, and fabrication/erection verification. Concrete inspections mandate reinforcing steel verification, anchor inspection, design mix approval, placement technique verification, and formwork inspection. The Construction Contractor's Quality Control Supervisor must provide all special inspection reports and associated documentation to the Contracting Officer, with corrective action required for any identified deficiencies. Required qualifications for inspectors include ICC certifications, ACI certifications, ASNT certifications, AWS certifications, and licensed professional or geotechnical engineers, depending on the specific inspection task.
