What Is Concrete Special Inspection?
Concrete special inspection is a required third-party inspection under the California Building Code (CBC) and local building standards. It verifies that concrete materials, mix designs, placement, and curing meet the specifications on approved structural drawings. It applies to structural concrete elements including foundations, columns, shear walls, slabs, and moment frames.
What Our Concrete Inspection Covers
Our ICC-certified concrete inspectors verify the following:
Review of approved mix design and concrete delivery tickets at the pour site.
Verification that concrete is placed per project specifications — no unauthorized water addition.
Slump testing and temperature checks per ASTM C143 and project requirements.
Fabrication of concrete test cylinders per ASTM C31 for compressive strength testing.
Inspection of formed surfaces and reinforcing steel prior to concrete placement.
Observation of placement and consolidation — vibrator coverage and avoidance of segregation.
Monitoring of curing methods and duration per project specifications.
Documentation of all field observations with same-day or next-day inspection reports.
