These specialized inspections go beyond routine checks, focusing on critical components, innovative designs, and intricate construction methods that demand specialized expertise. Infrastructure projects such as aviation, bridges and tunnels, transit and rail, environmental restoration, heavy civil and energy infrastructure, often incorporate novel materials and engineering approaches. Special and Critical Inspections minimize the risk of unforeseen issues and safeguard against potential hazards, ensuring that structures withstand the test of time and environmental pressures. These inspections are carried out by professionals with deep domain knowledge, allowing them to pinpoint potential weak points that might elude standard inspections. Special and Critical Inspections foster transparency and accountability. These assessments validate that contractors adhere to approved plans and specifications, bolsters public trust, as stakeholders, including investors, regulatory bodies, and the general public, gain assurance that infrastructure projects are executed to the highest quality.
The selection of appropriate inspection methods and techniques is vital for ensuring structural integrity and code compliance across complex construction projects. This includes tailored field evaluations, specialized testing protocols, and oversight of third-party inspections and documentation.
Before any foundation is designed, the underlying soils must be assessed for strength, stability, and classification. Proper geotechnical evaluation ensures safe load transfer, informs design decisions, and helps prevent costly structural issues down the line.
AEIS supports critical infrastructure, heavy civil, and environmental resiliency projects by providing comprehensive soils inspection services to verify that ground improvement, engineered fills, and foundation-bearing conditions meet project and code requirements. These inspections are essential for both shallow and deep foundations, embankments, subgrades, and other load-bearing systems.
NYSDOT, NYCDOT, NJDOT, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, FAA, State agencies, local municipalities, all have requirements for testing of Asphalt.
Concrete inspection is far more comprehensive than just preparing cylinders. To meet building codes and job specifications, special inspections are often required before, during, and after concrete placement to verify structural integrity, material compliance, and construction quality.
Modern masonry construction has evolved into a highly engineered system that requires precise materials, installation methods, and quality control. As designs grow in complexity, so must the inspections that ensure work is carried out in accordance with construction documents, performance standards, and code requirements.
Structural steel construction demands precision, performance, and reliability especially in mission-critical infrastructure. At AEIS, we deliver a full spectrum of inspection and testing services that ensure conformance with design intent, applicable codes, and project specifications across all stages of steel construction.
Structural integrity and stability inspections are critical to ensuring public safety and the long-term performance of both existing structures and those impacted by adjacent construction. These inspections, governed by RCNY 101-06 and Chapter 17 of the NYC Building Code, are required Special Inspections for a wide range of construction activities involving demolition, excavation, underpinning, or other operations that may compromise structural safety.
(Firestopping and Fireproofing Special Inspections) Passive fire protection systems—such as firestopping and fireproofing—play a crucial role in limiting fire spread and protecting structural elements during a fire event. Under RCNY 101-06 and Chapter 17 of the NYC Building Code, both fireproofing and firestopping are classified as Special Inspections and must be installed in accordance with UL/FM tested systems, manufacturer instructions, and project specifications.
Inspection of any MEP systems is more than simply asking, “Does it work the way it should?" It requires a thorough understanding of the system and continuous engagement with the engineer to ensure that the commissioning of the system goes without a hitch and the installed system can provide the intended service life.
The responsibilities of our electrical inspectors are centered on safety; the reason they have chosen that professional career path.
In an effort to provide architectural inspection for new buildings and preserve existing and historic buildings, the New York City Building Code requires special inspection on various architectural systems of the buildings.
The code explains that progress inspections “shall be made during the progress of work to verify substantial compliance with the code and with approved construction documents
