Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Not adjusting for seismic bracing clearances in a high seismic zone per SMACNA guidelines. What’s the approved correction for this job?

Do not

Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
