Loading

It is of importance to note that even in the absence of any observable deterioration, loading conditions must be viewed with caution. Recognizing that there will generally be no need to verify the original design, since it will have already been “time tested”, this premise has validity only if loading patterns and conditions remain unchanged. Any material change in type and/or magnitude or loading in older buildings should be viewed as sufficient jurisdiction to examine load carrying capability of the affected structural system.

Scope of Electrical Inspection

The purpose of the required inspection and report is to confirm with reasonable fashion that the building or structure under consideration is safe for continued use under present occupancy. As mentioned before, it is a recommendation procedure, and under no circumstances are these minimum recommendations intended to supplant proper professional judgment.
