Prior to SEAKM formation
two of the local structural engineers volunteered for the City of
Wichita committee on the review of the IBC 2000 building code.
The committee was composed of architects, contractors,
building officials and the structural engineers.
SEAKM was formed during the building code review and each of these engineers joined. SEAKM had at that time representation on this committee.
After adoption of the IBC 2000, SEAKM in one of the monthly
meetings (February 21, 2002) invited local architects to discuss the
provisions for special structural inspections.
We believe that after this meeting, the architects had a better
understanding on the requirements and the necessity of getting these
inspections done.
In the meeting of May 15, 2002 SEAKM invited the City of Wichita
Central Inspection department to a meeting to have a discussion on
special structural inspection.
They left with a better appreciation of the requirements and
responsibilities of this provision.
November of 2002, the City of Wichita Central Inspection invites
SEAKM to lead the committee to begin the process of Special Structural
Inspections in Wichita.
In the meeting of November 20, 2002 SEAKM had a lawyer as a
presenter.
One of the hot topics was special structural inspection and the
liability for not insisting that the code provisions be followed.
It also came out that the State of South Dakota was now taking
action on individual’s licenses for failing to follow the code
provisions on making sure the inspections take place.
December 16, 2002 the first meeting on the implementation of
special structural inspections is held.
On the committee are three members of SEAKM, three contractors,
two architects, one specification institute member, four central
inspection members, and a representative of building owners.
Discussions on not whether the inspections are to be done, but
how to implement the special structural inspections are discussed.
Further meetings are planned monthly until the program is fully
implemented by the city of Wichita.
