Do you need SPECIAL EPOXY inspections? YES!
1. Safety-Critical Applications
Failure could lead to structural collapse or serious injury, so verifying proper installation is vital.
2. Installation Sensitivity
Epoxy anchors are highly sensitive to installation variables such as:
Hole diameter and depth
Cleaning procedures
Adhesive mixing
3. Code Compliance (IBC & ACI)
The International Building Code (IBC) and ACI 318 require special inspection for post-installed anchors in many structural applications, sustained loads, or in seismic zones.
4. Accountability and Quality Assurance
Having an independent, certified special inspector provides third-party verification that the installation meets design intent and manufacturer instructions.
