Inspection & Test Plan (ITP) –
Fabrication Department
Project: Kam River Bridge
Scope: Fabrication of structural steel bridge components (girders, stiffeners, diaphragms,
railings)
Department: Fabrication Shop
Prepared by: Manthan Patel
Date: December 18 2024
1. General Notes
- All fabrication works to follow CSA W59, CSA G40.21, AISC, and project specifications.
- Welding to be performed by certified welders (CSA W47.1).
- Inspection stages include raw material, cutting, fit-up, welding, dimensional checks,
surface prep, coating.
- H = Hold Point (cannot proceed without client/consultant approval).
- W = Witness Point (inspection presence required, but not hold).
