A. Layout and Pile Installation
|
□
|
Verify that the fence layout in both height and length coincide with the current site plan.
|
□
|
Mark pile locations for fence elevations and changes in fence direction.
|
□
|
Identify changes in fence height.
|
□
|
Determine and locate the proper pile depths and diameters.
|
□
|
Verify that site soils meet the design standards.
|
□
|
Verify that the correct type and color of block has been ordered and delivered to the job site.
|
□
|
Confirm that the proper size and quantity of steel reinforcement,
including the steel stirrups located in the horizontal bond beams, have been delivered to the site.
|
□
|
Verify that the layout jigs have been built to the designed fence lengths and are at that job site.
|
□
|
Determine how the concrete will be delivered to the job site for the
post footings and the cores of the post block.
|
B. Post and Panel Installation
|
□
|
Identify cracked or damaged block prior to installation and placed aside.
|
□
|
If color variances are noticed in the product, notify the manufacturer
to investigate. Do not place any suspect blocks.
|
□
|
Ensure proper shimming is performed to maintain tolerances with respect
to the horizontal alignment of the block courses.
|
□
|
Ensure vertical alignment of the fence panel is within tolerances.
Vertical alignment should be checked and the panel realigned prior to the installation of
additional bond beams, or every four courses.
|
□
|
Ensure that the post blocks are properly centered on the pile / pile
cap. If piling alignment is off, make necessary adjustments prior to pilaster construction and
commencement with the fence construction.
|
□
|
Ensure that the mortar bed for the placement of the first pilaster block is no thicker than 1 in. (25 mm) thick.
|
□
|
Prior to the pouring of the concrete in the post blocks, ensure that the vertical rebar
alignment is set to allow for a minimum 1 in. (25 mm) clear cover between the rebar and the inside of the post block.
|
□
|
Determine whether the bond beams will be pre-cast and delivered to the site or constructed by casting them on-site.
|
□
|
When placing horizontal steel in the bond beams, ensure single lengths are used. Do not splice or butt sections together.
|
□
|
Verify that the proper grout mix consisting of a fine aggregate mix is scheduled for bond beam construction and at the job site.
|
□
|
Ensure by visual inspection that proper consolidation is occurring in the bond beams during grout placement using vibrator.
|
□
|
If pre-casting bond beams, check the bond beam prior to placement for
cracks or any other sign of damage that may have occurred during manufacturing,
storage or shipping. Discard damaged or cracked bond beams.
|
□
|
Does the panel block overlap the post block a minimum of 1 in. (25 mm)
on each end? Confirm that compaction testing will or will not be required under the
fence panels.
|
□
|
If it is, who is responsible, at what locations along the fence and what coordination will be required?
|
C. Finishing
|
□
|
Confirm if testing is required of the grout (panel / post blocks). How often? Who is doing the testing?
|
□
|
Confirm that the AB Fence Caps have been properly installed and adhered.
|
□
|
Determine what method will be used to verify construction materials, methods, and sequences of construction. (ie: written
documentation of as built, full time inspector on-site, photographic documentation.)
