I need to install a seismic brace at [location/grid] but I cannot find the approved detail in my drawing set. Can you point me to the right detail sheet before I drill or set hardware?
Watch out
Do not modify or copy bracing/rigging from another area just because it looks similar.
Check
Before touching anything: look for a brace detail callout on the drawing. It may appear as a bubble, tag, arrow, or sheet reference pointing to a structural detail.
If you cannot find the detail in your drawing set: do not guess and do not copy a brace from another area. Document the location with a photo and grid/reference location, then ask.
If a brace detail exists but you are unsure how to read it: bring the drawing to the foreman and point to the specific callout rather than describing it from memory.
Do not start drilling anchor holes for a brace until you have the approved detail in hand and confirmed the attachment point is structural.
