CHAPTER Il, SECTION 1
On large-scale concrete placement opera-

tions, the Chief Inspector and Test Laboratory
personnel aided the Site Inspector in the surveillance of all phases of the pour. These personnel continuously observed and recorded batch-

ing, mixing, transporting, placing, finishing, and
curing of the concrete. In this manner, the Site

Inspector was free of detailed observations and
QUANTITY

was able to maintain liaison with the Area
Superintendent on other work.
In addition to field inspection duties, the
Chief Inspectors and Engineering Specialists reviewed all Work Orders and field design drawings and expeditiously provided the Site Inspectors with interpretations of construction requirements, drawings, and revisions to criteria design.
