Inspections
General Information: Pre-load inspections can be carried out using externally supplied designs/drawings but it is critical to supply design/drawings at the inspection appointment.
If at an inspection the engineer deems the construction deviates drastically from design drawings and major re-work is required, a re-inspection will be required before loading approval is granted.
Inspections can be carried out without externally supplied design drawings, however further calculations may be required following the inspection before approval is granted.
FAQ: Q. What is actually covered when a loading approval is granted?
A. It depends on whether you require a 'Basic' or 'Advanced' inspection, see below for inclusions of both options.
