collapse:
Location: 50 Partridge Road White Plains NY

on Complete Joint Penetration Groove Welds when welding the steel roof
trusses at the bottom

Code).
2) To have shop drawings approved prior to the fabrication of steel roof
trusses.
3) To fabricate the steel roof trusses in accordance with the contract
drawings.
