Special Inspections

Special Inspection Services

At GTS, we provide certified special inspections in compliance with the City of Phoenix & City of Yuma, ICC, and ACI requirements. Our special inspectors ensure that materials and workmanship on your project meet all approved plans, specifications, and safety standards. From soil and masonry to structural steel and post-installed anchors, our inspection services protect the integrity of your construction project.

Earthwork Inspections

Proper earthwork inspections are the foundation of a safe structure, helping prevent costly settlement and foundation failures. Our inspectors evaluate grading, excavation, compaction, and fill placement to confirm compliance with geotechnical engineering requirements. Using on-site field testing and laboratory verification, we ensure soil conditions meet the standards for load-bearing capacity and stability. Detailed documentation is provided to verify adherence to City of Phoenix & City of Yuma and ICC requirements.

 

Reinforced & Post-Tension Concrete Inspections

Reinforced concrete inspections are essential for structural integrity. Our certified inspectors review the placement of rebar, concrete, grout, and formwork, ensuring all materials meet project standards. For post-tension concrete systems, we inspect stressing operations, anchor placement, and grout quality to verify performance under load. With field inspections and laboratory testing, we help ensure that concrete elements meet design specifications.

Masonry Inspections

Our masonry inspections cover everything from block and brick placement to reinforcing steel and grout consolidation. Certified inspectors verify compliance project standards, checking that materials and workmanship align with approved plans. We also provide laboratory testing on grout, mortar, and reinforcing materials.

Structural Steel Welding Inspections

Our special inspectors, certified to AWS and ICC standards, perform detailed evaluations of weld size, continuity, and quality. We verify that welding procedures follow approved plans and that welders hold the appropriate certifications.

Structural Steel Bolting Inspections

In addition to welding, structural steel bolting inspections ensure that all bolted connections are installed correctly. Inspectors check bolt type, size, and installation torque to confirm load-bearing compliance. Field inspections are documented to demonstrate adherence to project plans and specifications

Post-Installed Anchor Inspections

Post-installed anchors, including epoxy and mechanical systems, require strict inspection to meet City of Phoenix & City of Yuma approval. Our inspectors oversee cleaning, adhesive installation, and torque testing to confirm anchors are placed properly.

Fireproofing & Coatings Inspections

Our certified inspectors evaluate spray-applied fire-resistant materials (SFRM), intumescent coatings, and fireproofing applications to confirm compliance with plans and specifications.
