SPECIAL INSPECTIONS
Special inspections for electrical systems are required to verify that critical safety features are installed and functioning in accordance with approved construction documents, applicable codes, and manufacturer specifications. These inspections are mandated by the building code and help ensure life safety, system reliability, and regulatory compliance—particularly in complex or high-occupancy buildings.
​Fire-Resistant Penetrations & Joints
(BC 1705.17)
Inspecting fire-resistant penetrations and joints to ensure proper sealing and installation in fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings, preventing the spread of fire and maintaining the building’s fire safety integrity.
Tenant Protection Plan Compliance
(BC 1705.26)
Involves ensuring that building alterations or construction projects meet the requirements set forth in the TPP to safeguard tenant safety and habitability during work.
​Emergency & Standby Power Systems
(BC 1705.36)
The special inspection of emergency and standby power systems ensures compliance with NFPA 110 and NFPA 111. A qualified inspector verifies proper installation of generators, transfer switches, and fuel systems while witnessing functional tests for automatic operation during power loss. Any deficiencies must be corrected and retested before final approval, ensuring reliable power support and occupant safety during emergencies.
