Structural Steel Erection Inspection

Inspection template for verifying structural steel member placement, plumbness, temporary bracing, and connection integrity during erection.

Inspection Details and Scope

• Inspection date and time recorded
• Project area / gridline / elevation identified
• Inspector identified as competent person or designated inspector
• Inspection scope includes current erection stage and affected bays
• Weather and site conditions documented if affecting stability

Member Placement and Alignment

• Columns, beams, and girders installed in correct designated location
• Member orientation matches approved erection drawings
• Plumbness of erected members within project tolerance
• Line and level of beams/girders verified against layout control
• Required bearing and seat conditions are present

Temporary Bracing and Stability

• Temporary bracing installed where required by erection sequence
• Bracing members are properly connected and secured
• No unbraced unstable frames or unsupported members observed
• Temporary guy lines, shores, or supports are tensioned and anchored
• Bracing remains in place until permanent stability is achieved

Connections, Fasteners, and Weld Readiness

• Bolted connections installed in accordance with erection sequence
• Required bolts, washers, and nuts are present at each connection
• Connections are snug-tight or fully tightened per project requirement
• Field weld locations are identified and ready for qualified welding work
• Connection deficiencies or missing hardware documented

Safety Controls and Closeout

• Fall protection in place for exposed erection work
• Access routes, exclusion zones, and drop zones are established
• Any observed deficiency or non-conformance assigned corrective action
• Inspection status
