Why Inspection Fails

• Form oil has dripped onto the steel reinforcement or top of the footing.
• There is mud on top of the footing.
• The required key-way is not in the footing or it is in the footing, but is not in the formed foundation walls.
• The steel reinforcement is not the grade, type or size specified in the approved plans.
• The forms have been installed on both sides of the walls so that the steel reinforcement placement, laps, size grade etc. cannot be verified.
• Cold weather concreting protective measures have not been taken.
• The steel reinforcement has not been placed, lapped or tied per the approved plans.
