American Welding Society, Inc. (AWS) D 1.1 (2006) Structural Welding Code-Steel

B. Workmanship - Workmanship shall be of the highest grade and in accordance with the best modern practices to conform to the specifications for the item of work being furnished.

C. Quality Control - The Contractor shall establish and maintain a quality control system to assure compliance with contract requirements and shall maintain records of all quality control operations covered by these specifications. The Contractor shall provide continuous inspection of all operations for quality control and record the results for submitting to the Contracting Officer to show compliance with contract requirements.

D. Welding

1. General - Welding shall be by an electric arc-welding process and shall conform to the applicable provisions of AWS D1.1, Sections 1 thru 7, 9 and 10 unless otherwise specified or authorized. Welding operators, welders and tack welders shall be qualified and requalified if necessary for the particular type of work to be done. Qualification shall be in accordance with AWS D1.1, Section 5, (Coast Guard qualification acceptable). The Contractor shall certify by name the welders and welding procedures under which qualified. Prior qualification will be accepted if welders have performed satisfactory work under the code for which qualified within the preceding three months. The Contractor shall require welders and welding operators to repeat the qualifying tests when in the opinion of the Contracting Officer their work indicates a reasonable doubt as to proficiency. Those passing the re-qualification tests shall be recertified. Those not passing shall be disqualified until passing. All expenses in connection with qualification and re-qualification shall be borne by the Contractor.

2. Inspection - The Contractor shall maintain an approved inspection system and perform required inspections to assure compliance with contract requirements. Welding shall be subject to inspection by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative to determine conformance with the requirements of AWS D1.1, the approved welding procedures and provisions stated in other sections of these specifications. The Contractor shall clean the welds of scale, slag, weld spatter, etc., in preparation for inspection. The Contractor shall ascertain that all welding conforms with the requirements and/or these specifications as to size, length, location, and positioning of members prior to welding, particularly members that are to be positioned into close contact for welding. The Contractor shall carefully examine each weld for surface defects, undercutting, lack of fusion, insufficient penetration, porosity, craters, cracks, gas pockets, etc., in the weld or base metal.

3. Non-Destructive Examination - The Contracting Officer may require non-destructive testing of Contractor welds. If Contractor welds are to be non-destructively tested as required by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall make the necessary arrangements for the non-destructive testing by a recognized testing agency. If the welds are found to be satisfactory, the Government will pay the costs of the non-destructive testing. If the welds are found to be defective, the Contractor will be required to bear both the costs of the non-destructive testing and of the required rewelding. All sections of welds found defective shall be chipped, cut, or gouged out to base metal and properly re-welded.

4. Procedure - The Contractor may be required to prepare and submit for approval a complete schedule of welding procedures consisting of detailed procedure specifications to be used for each welded connection. The schedule shall conform to the provisions of AWS D1.1, Sections 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9 and applicable provisions of Section 10. Procedures shall be such as to minimize residual stresses, distortion and shrinkage. Approval of any procedure will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for producing a finished structure meeting all requirements of these specifications.

5. Temporary welds - Temporary welds required for fabrication and erection shall be under the same controlled conditions described herein for permanent work. All temporary welds shall be made by welders qualified for permanent work as previously specified. Temporary welds shall be removed after having served their purposes, and shall be ground flush with adjacent surfaces. All depressions shall be filled overfull with weld metal and the excess weld metal shall then be ground flush.

6. Preheat - Preheating shall be performed as required by AWS D1.1, Sections 4.2 and 4.3 except that the temperature of the base metal shall be at least 70 degrees F. The weldments to be preheated shall be slowly and uniformly heated by approved means to the prescribed temperature, held at that temperature until the welding is completed, and then permitted to cool slowly in still air. Preheating temperatures shall be monitored by the use of suitable temperature-indicating sticks, liquids, or pellets, as manufactured by Tempil Corporation, Markal Company, Curtiss-Wright Corporation, and others.

7. Filler Metal - The electrode, electrode-flux combination and grade of weld metal shall conform to the appropriate AWS specification for the base metal and welding process being used. The AWS designation of the electrodes to be used shall be included in the schedule of welding procedures. A controlled temperature storage oven shall be used at the job site as prescribed by AWS D1.1, Section

4.45 to maintain low moisture of low hydrogen electrodes.

8. All butt splices to any members should be made full penetration

E. Flame Cutting - Structural steel may be cut by machine-guided or hand guided torches instead of by shears or saws. Flame cutting of material other than structural steel shall be subject to approval by the Contracting officer. Where a torch is mechanically guided, no chipping or grinding will be required except as necessary to remove slag and sharp edges. Where a torch is hand guided, all cuts where the material is to be welded and the cuts will be exposed or visible shall be chipped, ground, or machined to sound metal. Where metal is not to be welded and where cuts will be exposed, burrs and rough edges only shall be removed. Where the torch is mechanically guided, flame gouging will be permitted in preparation for welding.

F. The contractor is responsible for compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations for handling of inflammable and combustible liquids. Whenever hot work is to be performed on fuel tanks, bilge areas or any enclosed compartment or structure subject to gas accumulation or excessive gas pressures building up as a result of heat, a marine chemist's gas-free certificate shall be furnished to the Government representative at the contractor's expense prior to commencing work.

G. No welding is permitted on any structural member of the crane. Contractor shall get approval before commencing any work on any portion of the crane.

6. PAINTING
