Special Inspections and the Structural Engineer of Record
Recently, several organizations have issued position statements and guidelines recommending that the Structural Engineer of Record (SER) serve as the Special Inspector (SI) whenever possible and practical. The stated purpose for this recommendation is to assure that the SER is present on-site during construction of principal structural components thereby reducing the chance of structural failures due to unnoticed and uncorrected flaws or on-site changes. The key document cited in support of this recommendation is the Committee on Science and Technology's report titled Structural Failures in Public Facilities, House Report 98-621 that was presented to the 98th Congress.
