Hangar 18 C door welds redone and reinspected; project marked complete
Summary
Staff reported weld work on the Hangar 18 C door, which previously failed field inspection, was redone, reinspected and cleared; commissioners urged reoccupying the affected tenant space as soon as practical.
City staff told the commission that the Hangar 18 C door replacement encountered extensive field weld quality issues during construction. According to staff, many welds were visually insufficient, required rework, and were reinspected this afternoon and have now passed final inspection.
Why it matters: Repeated weld failures delayed returning the hangar to tenant use and raised concerns about contractor quality control and site housekeeping.
Staff described the problem as a combination of contractor/subcontractor challenges and weather interruptions that affected cladding and welding. The general contractor performed additional inspections and corrected welds, and staff said the work is effectively complete. Commissioners urged that the tenant in 18 Bravo be moved back in as soon as scheduling permits.
Staff also said they addressed housekeeping issues with the contractor and that the general contractor performed a site inspection within an hour of staff notice and remedied debris and fasteners left on site.
No formal motions or votes occurred on this item; staff will follow up on tenant moves and logistics to reassign space once all final checks are complete.
