Installation Oversight

ISAT Lives On-Site!

As an active member of the preconstruction team, ISAT will augment the project team with installation oversight and inspection assistance.

The common goal is to have the field labor install seismic bracing one time and install it correctly. Whether we work hand-in-hand with the local code authority, as an adjunct to a private Inspector of Record (IOR) or an extension of the jobsite quality control staff, ISAT field services are unmatched in the industry.

While it is very important to write clear specifications, design in proper options and ensure the subcontractors carry a proper number in their bids, CODE compliance all comes down to inspection. Current construction practices have proven uninformed inspectors or misled installers are huge hurdles in the path of streamlined code compliance.

THE BIG QUESTION:  Who is responsible for providing an owner with a building that meets the code?

THE ANSWER:  In reality, it starts and ends with the Construction Oversight Team.

Dealing with the recent International Building Code (IBC) changes regarding seismic bracing of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems has almost every municipality, code authority, design consultant, MEP subcontractor and GC wondering how to deal with the lack of education.

ISAT has vested interest in code compliance. Contact ISAT to assist you on your project with a seamless method to bring cost effective code compliance to your team.

The seismic restraint of suspended HVAC ducts, fire protection piping, electrical utilities and plumbing/piping systems for hospital construction projects has been a daily function of ISAT for many years. Although we have a broad range of project types under our belt, we are extremely proud of our hospital experience.

If you are involved in healthcare construction, you are familiar with the issues that compound the process. Highly congested hospital corridors, more stringent code requirements and ambiguous inspection influences all complicate an already tricky construction project. Past experience has proven a solid understanding of inherent issues and a good base knowledge of the seismic bracing code requirements by the entire construction and design team, can drastically streamline issues surrounding seismic bracing code compliance.

Contact ISAT to provide the latest insight to streamline your scope of work regarding seismic bracing code compliance for the IBC 2000/2003 and OSHPD projects.

Key Aspects to Consider

The ISAT Design, Installation and Inspection Manual OPA-0485 is the most comprehensive OSHPD pre-approval in existence. Utilizing the ISAT OPA-0485 pre-approval, combined with our current OSHPD experience, has proven to be the single most effective tool in streamlining the OSHPD document review and plan approval process.
