(See Note A) for butt welds. Note A All welds, especially butt welds, must be continuous to ensure a pickle-tight connection when galvanised. Ultrasonic testing to be in accordance with BS EN 1714. Magnetic particle testing to be in accordance with BS EN 1290 and acceptance levels to be in accordance with BS EN 1291.

Note B Note C

All weld inspection/testing shall be undertaken a minimum of 48 hours after the completion of the respective weld. This is a Notification point.

7.7.3 Check Erection

Prototype structures (and, where required by the Owner/Engineer repeat structures) shall be check erected in order to verify the accuracy of detailing and fabrications, including forming, location and size of bolt holes, clipping and shearing. The degree of check erection shall be sufficient to verify not only the main structure, but also all ancillary steelwork such as platforms.

In the case of lattice towers, the minimum check erection required shall be one face lying horizontally and the adjacent face erected in the vertical plane, complete with hip and plan bracings. Cross arms and earth wire peaks shall be completely assembled.
Sufficient blocking and support shall be provided to prevent distortion and overstressing of the members to ensure proper fit. Assembly shall be accomplished without extraordinary effort to align boltholes or to force pieces into position. Boltholes shall not be reamed or enlarged. All modifications found necessary at the time of check erection shall be accurately recorded and the Contractors drawings, NC tapes etc., shall be amended. Where necessary, modified G.A. drawings shall be forwarded to the OwnerlEngineer. Unless otherwise specified the check erection may be undertaken in either the black or galvanised condition. Where materials are check erected galvanised, all modified items, those subjected to damage or prolonged contact with black steel, shall be re-galvanised at the supplier's cost. The Contractor shall give the Owner/Engineer the requisite period of notice prior to a check erection being ready for inspection. This is a Hold Point.
