The correction of minor misfits by moderate amounts of reaming, grinding, welding, or cutting, and the drawing of elements into line with drift pins shall be considered to be normal erection operations. Errors that cannot be corrected using the foregoing means, or that require major changes in member or connection configuration, shall be promptly reported to the ODRD, the ODRG, and the fabricator, by the erector, to enable the responsible entity to either correct the error or approve the most efficient and economical method of correction to be used by others.
Commentary
As used in this Section, the term “moderate” refers to the amount of reaming, grinding, welding, or cutting that must be done on the project as a whole, not the amount that is required at an individual location. It is not intended to address limitations on the amount of material that is removed by reaming at an individual bolt hole, for example, which is limited by the bolt-hole size and tolerance requirements in ANSI/AISC 360 and the RCSC Specification.
