22、QUIREMENTS 1.1Scope 1.1.1 Services specifiedThis specification sets the minimum requirements for quality assurance inspection of concrete construction whenever inspection services are required by the local building codes or the Contract Docu- ments. The services covered are directed to Special Inspe

23、c- tions covered in the current edition of the IBC. This specifi- cation is also valid for other projects at the option of the user. It includes inspection requirements for preplacement (rein- forcement, forms, and embedments), placement (conveyance and consolidation), and post-placement (finishing,

24、 curing, stressing, grouting, and formwork removal) of concrete construction, as well as requirements for personnel qualifi- cation and Inspection Agency accreditation. All inspection services required in this specification shall be performed by an Inspection Agency engaged by the Owner. 1.1.2 Indep

25、endenceAn Inspection Agency shall be objective, competent, and independent from the Contractor responsible for the Work being inspected. The Owner or the Owners Representative shall not delegate these services to the Contractor, Construction Manager, Construc- tion Manager at Risk, or any other part

26、y responsible for constructing the Work. 1.1.3 Coordination with ContractorThe Owner shall instruct the Contractor to coordinate with the Inspection Agency, provide access to the Work, and provide notifica- tion when the Work is ready for inspection. 1.2Units of measurement 1.2.1 UnitsInch-pound is
