Experienced Construction Inspector with 19+ years in the field. Detail-oriented and skilled in project standards, plan and structural reviews. Successfully ensures projects meet requirements through meticulous attention to detail. Provides knowledgeable recommendations for resolving construction problems.
1. Ensure construction work complies with all approved construction drawings, plans, specifications, engineering standards, and building codes for upcoming projects to develop inspection.
2. Reinforcement inspection:
Inspect the placement of the steel reinforcement (rebar) before concrete is poured, ensuring correct size, spacing, bar quantities, bar splices length, and placement as per the design.
3. Daily inspection reports:
Maintained accurate records for each construction project inspected using computerized software programs.
Provided written reports detailing inspection results, findings, and recommendations for corrective action.
Identified non-conformance items within a structure or system during the inspections.
Monitored contractor's progress, reported any discrepancies or delays to management team.
Communicated regularly with engineers to discuss changes in design plans or modifications needed due to unforeseen circumstances onsite.
Coordinated with other inspectors at various stages of a project to ensure consistency in reporting procedures.
Maintained accurate records of inspection results along with photos and videos when necessary.
4. Concrete placement:
Verified that all required tests were performed correctly on concrete mixtures prior to placement.
Monitor the mixing, placement methods, and curing of concrete to ensure proper handling and consolidation, avoiding issues like segregation and air pockets.
Installed forms for pouring concrete according to plans and specifications.
Concrete testing and sampling, Soil and Asphalt compaction testing, Excavation for footings and foundations, retaining walls, detention basin, drainage system, etc.
1. Soils:
Collecting soil samples and performing various tests to determine soil type, moisture content, compaction levels, and bearing capacity. Common tests include the Proctor test for compaction and the Atterberg limits test for soil consistency.
2. Compaction Verification:
Ensuring that the soil is compacted to the necessary density to support structures. This often involves using tools like a nuclear density gauge or sand cone test.
3. Site Assessment:
Inspecting the site to identify potential issues, such as erosion, water drainage problems, or unsuitable soil conditions, that could affect the stability of the construction.
4. Documentation and Reporting:
Keeping detailed records of inspections, tests, and findings and preparing reports that are often required for regulatory compliance or project documentation.
5. Asphalt Paving:
Experience in laying and compacting asphalt for roads, parking lots, and other surfaces.
Quality Control:
Proficiency in conducting tests like compaction testing, density testing, and inspecting for compliance with project specifications.
6. Excavation:
Foundation, footings, retaining walls, trenching, grading, and site preparation.
Foundation Construction:
Experience with concrete pouring, formwork, and reinforcement placement.
Soil Analysis and Compaction: Knowledge of soil types, compaction methods, and testing for stability.
Blueprint Reading: Ability to interpret construction plans, specifications, and grade stakes.
Concrete Sampling and Testing: Experience with field sampling, slump tests, air content tests, and compressive strength tests.
