identified as such on a shop drawing submitted to the ENGINEER for approval. All welded
connections must be repaired in accordance with methods A1 or A3 of ASTM A780. Repairs of

rough welding, poor galvanizing practice or defects due to any other causes shall only be accepted
or approved by the ENGINEER after inspecting the item after delivered to the jobsite.
