Inspection Details and Document Control

Shop drawing revision matches the released fabrication package critical (required)

Verify the inspected member is being checked against the correct approved shop drawing revision and fabrication release.

Yes No N/A

Member identification and heat/traceability marks are present and legible critical (required)

Check that the fabricated member can be traced to material certifications and shop records.

Yes No N/A

Required inspection hold points and acceptance criteria are identified

Confirm the inspection plan identifies required visual inspection, NDT, and any hold/witness points.

Yes No N/A

Inspector name, date, and shift are recorded

Document who performed the inspection and when it was completed.

Yes No N/A

Material Preparation and Fit-Up

Base material grade, thickness, and size match the shop drawing critical (required)

Verify web, flange, cover plate, and splice plate materials match specified grade and dimensions.

Yes No N/A

Cut edges, bevels, and joint preparation are clean and within specification

Inspect prepared edges for burrs, laminations, excessive gouging, or contamination that could affect weld quality.

Yes No N/A

Fit-up gap and root opening are within specified tolerance critical (required)

Measure the actual fit-up gap at web, flange, and splice joints.

Parts are properly clamped, aligned, and restrained before welding critical (required)

Confirm the assembly is held to prevent movement, distortion, or misalignment during welding.

Yes No N/A

Tack welds are sound and do not introduce defects into final weld zones

Inspect tack welds for cracking, lack of fusion, or placement that interferes with final weld quality.

Yes No N/A

Web, Flange, and Splice Weld Quality

Weld procedure specification and welder qualifications are approved for the joint critical (required)

Confirm the weld process, filler metal, and welder qualifications are appropriate for the fabricated joint.

Yes No N/A

Web-to-flange welds are continuous and free of visible discontinuities critical (required)

Inspect the longitudinal welds joining the web and flange for cracks, undercut, overlap, porosity, or incomplete fill.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Splice welds show full joint preparation and acceptable profile critical (required)

Check splice welds for proper preparation, sound tie-in, and acceptable reinforcement/profile.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Weld size and length meet the shop drawing and WPS requirements critical (required)

Measure representative weld size or leg length where applicable.

No visible cracks, arc strikes, or repair defects remain in the finished weld area critical (required)

Verify the finished weld zone is free of cracks, arc strikes, gouges, and incomplete repairs.

Yes No N/A

Required nondestructive testing is complete and accepted critical (required)

Confirm any required VT, MT, UT, or other NDT has been performed and accepted per project requirements.

Yes No N/A

Dimensional Accuracy and Alignment

Overall member length matches the shop drawing tolerance critical (required)

Measure the overall fabricated length of the built-up section.

Web straightness and flange alignment are within tolerance critical (required)

Check for bow, camber deviation, twist, or flange offset beyond allowable limits.

Yes No N/A

Flange spacing and web depth match the shop drawing critical (required)

Measure the actual section depth and flange spacing at required locations.

Splice location and orientation match the fabrication layout

Verify splice placement, orientation, and match marks correspond to the approved layout.

Yes No N/A

Camber, sweep, and twist are within specified limits critical (required)

Measure the member's geometric deviation from the specified shape.

Surface Condition, Marking, and Protection

Surface is free of oil, heavy rust, slag, spatter, and loose mill scale in weld zones

Check the weld and coating preparation areas for contamination that could affect quality or coating adhesion.

Yes No N/A

Grinding, blending, and weld cleanup are smooth and do not reduce section capacity critical (required)

Verify any grinding or weld cleanup has not created gouges, sharp notches, or excessive base metal removal.

Yes No N/A

Piece marks, orientation marks, and erection marks are correct and legible

Confirm identification marks are present and readable for shipping and erection.

Yes No N/A

Temporary attachments, tabs, and weld stubs have been removed or disposed per specification

Check for leftover tabs, clips, or attachments that should have been removed after fabrication.

Yes No N/A

Final Disposition and Sign-Off

All non-conformances are documented with disposition and corrective action critical (required)

Ensure any deficiency has a documented NCR, repair plan, or engineering disposition.

Yes No N/A

Re-inspection is required after repairs

Indicate whether repaired areas must be rechecked before release.

Yes No N/A

Inspection result critical (required)

Overall disposition of the fabricated built-up section.

Inspector signature critical (required)

Inspector sign-off confirming the inspection was completed and recorded accurately.
