Wade,

I have reviewed the plans you attached to your e-mail, I also review the “welding plan”.  The complete joint penetration welds as detailed in the plans will be tested with ultrasound
      and x-ray using the acceptance criteria in the AWS D1.5 Bridge Welding Code.

 

The engineer of record has responded with comments to the “welding plan”. 

 

The contractor will need to provide a welding procedure that meets ALL of the requirements of the AWS D1.5 Bridge Welding Code. That said, the welder certifications will need to meet
the requirements of the welding procedure that is provided for the project. 

 

If there are any questions regarding these requirements please do not hesitate to contact me.

Gentlemen,

 

 

Kleinfelder has reviewed the plans and shop drawings provided by Halff and Associates and the shop drawings provided by Afco ( approved by Halff and Associates).  It appears that all
welds will be full penetration welds according to the detail in these plans.  Furthermore there has not been a welding procedure submit in accordance to AWS D1.5 code.  This code is
referenced on page S1-22 under erection notes.  Austin has only submitted a welding plan.  Kleinfelder and Ruiz Testing service plan to perform testing in accordance with the AWS D1.5
code.  If this was not the intention please advise. I am includeing the shop drawing details with this email so we can all address the same issue. Please see page 2 of the shop drawings.

 

Thanks
