What is Reinforcing Steel Inspection?

Reinforcing steel inspection — also known as rebar inspection — is a required special inspection under the California Building Code (CBC) and Local standards. It verifies that steel reinforcement is properly sized, placed, and tied before concrete is poured. This critical inspection ensures structural integrity and safety for all types of construction projects including residential, commercial, and public works.


Our Reinforcing Steel Inspection Services in Monterey Park

ASI’s reinforcing steel inspection services cover all aspects of rebar inspection required by the City of Monterey Park and County of Los Angeles building departments:

  • Verification of reinforcing bar size, diameter and grade, per approved structural plans.

  • Inspection of bar spacing — horizontal and vertical — at footings, walls, columns, and slabs.

  • Verification of concrete cover — clearance between rebar and formwork or exposed surface.

  • Inspection of lap splice lengths and locations per ACI 318 requirements.

  • Verification of mechanical splices and couplers where specified.

  • Inspection of tie wire and support chairs — bars must be secured against displacement during concrete placement.
