Minimum Welding Code Inspection Requirements for Precast Structures

Minimum Welding Code Inspection Requirements for Precast Structures

Minimum Welding Code Inspection Requirements for Precast Structures

(OP)
I'm looking for the minimum weld inspection requirements for precast structures, in terms of what needs to be inspected and the frequency of inspection.  It appears to me that AWS requires all welds to be visually inspected, however it doesn't specify a frequency for other types of inspections, such as dye penetrant or mag. particle.  The code I am using is 1996 BOCA, but it refers to AWS.

Are there minimum requirements that I am just not seeing?  I am trying to determine if what I require in my specification is more than what the code minimum requires. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Minimum Welding Code Inspection Requirements for Precast Structures

why are you using 1996 BOCA?

RE: Minimum Welding Code Inspection Requirements for Precast Structures

(OP)
Because it is the code of record for the State in question...Rhode Island.

Yes, I know...the permits for the building were obtained in 2003 when the governing code was 1996 BOCA.
