Structural Testing

Structural Steel Testing is money in the Bank .

Roles and responsibilities of the owners, architects and engineers are misunderstood.

Due Diligence: Owner responsible for Testing.

Quality Control Program not required.

Steel Inspector must be CSA W178 Certified.

Design Engineers not certified to test.

Testing steel from the very start saves money and delays.
