Services: Construction began in June of 2016 and was completed during the summer of 2018. Allied’s inspection role played a major part in the project. Extensive rebar inspections were required for the shear walls and structural slabs. Our team of inspectors worked with Payette Associates and LeMessurier to ensure our inspections went as smooth as possible for the aggressive construction schedule. Allied performed Concrete and Rebar inspections, Floor Flatness testing, Soil testing & inspections, Structural steel inspection, Ultrasonic testing of welds, Light Gauge Metal framing inspections, Masonry inspections, Window/Curtain wall testing, Fireproofing and Firestop inspections, and Asphalt Testing and Inspections.
