Provisions for Inspection

The contractor and project engineer typically coordinate the starting date of the project, and set a date and time for the equipment to be assembled for inspection. It is advisable to set aside a minimum of half a day for equipment inspection at least one day before seal coat work begins. Initial equipment inspection should not be done the first hour or two of the morning the project begins. Even if all the equipment was functioning correctly on the last project, equipment problems can occur during the movement of the equipment. Plenty of time should be allowed to carefully inspect all equipment, and to allow more time to correct any discrepancies that are found.
