As an inspector, do you require any special inspections for them?

Are you asking about "inspections" or "Special Inspections"?

Special, as in above and beyond your typical rebar/structural inspection would be.

Yes,any "structural" splice(not a sidewalk/housekeeping pad) other than a "lap" splice would be placed under "special inspections",done by the engineer and overseen by the AHJ.

Good, nothing out of the ordinary then. These will be University inspectors, and some private ones as well.

Been to the HP City North project yet?

The jobsite is right on the border, in Phoenix proper.

Thanks for the info.

We've got a somewhat tricky blockout in a grade beam, right near some caisson anchor bolts, so we couldnt meet the lap needed on the rebar.

These might be our solution, depending on the projection of the bolts.
