W13: Why Surface Preparation is important and Reading and Understanding Specifications & Standards for Inspectors!
We are going to take a deep dive into Surface preparation of welded and unwelded pipe and structural steel. Industry accepted standards for cutback and why it is important in the Heat affected zones and why we need to avoid those areas. The second part of this presentation will take a look at the way specifications are written and why it is important to understand your clients specifications, expectations, and why reading the specification completely can make or a break a project.
