Mock Exercise Instructions For Fabricators of Steel Buildings

The document provides instructions for a mock exercise to evaluate the fabrication capabilities of steel building fabricators. It outlines requirements for welding procedures, material documentation, fabrication and inspection of specific structural members, and sequencing of fabrication, inspection, and audit activities. Fabricators must demonstrate welding and bolting skills in compliance with standards, and inspectors must be qualified. The on-site auditor will observe fabrication, assembly, and pre-installation verification but not perform inspections.

Mock Exercise Instructions for

Fabricators of Steel Buildings

1. Scope

For applicability, refer to the ​Supplemental​ ​Requirements for Fabricators of Steel


Buildings.​

This exercise will demonstrate fabrication knowledge, skills, and capability to produce
fabricated steel to the quality required for structural steel buildings.

2. Document Requirements

In addition to the required documents listed in the Supplemental Requirements, the


fabricator shall have the following documents available for review during the site audit:

a. Valid Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) for all processes and positions to be
used in the exercise, with supporting Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) if
required, in compliance with AWS D1.1.
b. Current Welder Performance Qualification Records for all processes and positions to
be used in the exercise in compliance with AWS D1.1.
c. Material Test Reports (MTRs) for materials used. (May be an example of an MTR.)
d. Purchase orders for materials used. (May be an example of a P.O.)

3. Welding

All welding shall be in compliance with the latest edition of AWS D1.1. SMAW may be
used for tack welding, however, FCAW or GMAW shall be used for fabrication. If
GMAW-S is used, the PQR shall be in conformance with AWS D1.1 Clause 4.

4. Bolting

All bolted connections shall be snug tight unless otherwise noted.

Effective Date June 1, 2019 Page 1 of 3


5. Fabrication

Fabricate the following structural members as shown on the attached drawings:

● Column 1C1
● Column 2C1
● Beams 4B1 and 4B2
● Diagonal 11D1

Do not assemble the fabricated members​. Refer to Table 1 for Fabrication, Inspection
and Audit Activities.

6. Inspection

Qualifications of the Quality Control Inspector (QCI) shall be verifiable in compliance with
AISC 360 Chapter N and AWS D1.1, Clause 6. Refer to Table 1 for visual inspection
requirements.

7. General Requirements

a. During the site audit, the personnel responsible for and performing the work shall
demonstrate understanding necessary for effective implementation of the
requirements of the latest editions of the applicable codes and standards.
b. The auditor shall not perform any inspections, direct any work, or provide instruction.
The auditor may request alternate sequences in agreement with the auditee to meet
unforeseen on-site conditions.
c. The auditor is present to observe the process and the application of the requirements
by the auditee.
d. All fabrication of the mock exercise shall be performed by the fabricator.
