Proper wording of specification regarding making holes in steel beams that are not shown on drawings
Proper wording of specification regarding making holes in steel beams that are not shown on drawings
(OP)
I am reviewing/revising our company master notes that we put on drawings. Would the following be correct wording, or is there a more appropriate wording than "core opening? Coring is something that I associate more with concrete. Is it used with reference to structural steel as well?
1. DO NOT CUT OR CORE OPENINGS IN STRUCTURAL STEEL WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OF CONSULTANT.

That said, I think our notes speak generally, and forbid "field modification" on shop fabricated items/members without prior approval.

"No holes, cuts, or notches are allowed in structural steel unless detailed on the structural drawings or approved by the structural engineer of record."
