SummaryOverall the impression is that Tarcon is capable to perform large and complicated steel structures. The shop seemed wellorganized and with competent staff.During the inspection Rambøll observed, that the standard for execution of steelworks EN 1090-2 was reasonably usedand implemented in the shop. Furthermore the standard EN/ISO 3834-2 for "Comprehensive Quality Requirements" wasreasonably implemented for the welding of steel structures.Tarcon has several welding engineers IWE or EWE to perform the daily welding coordination in the shop.Rambøll had a few major comments to some missing verification of the WPS` and the missing QA plan. These items arevery urgent and need to be corrected as soon as possible.Total time for the inspection was 6 hours at the shop.

Surveillance ReportBascule span to the Railway bridge ”Jernbanebroen over Limfjorden”QA and execution in shopImplementation of EN 1090-2:The standard seems to be well implemented and known in the shop.
EN 1090-2 on the QA inspectors table, it seemed well usedSuitability of equipment for thermal cutting:Gas cutting with propane gas is used; the quality seems to be acceptable. Plates thinner than 12 mm are cut by shearingand additionally grinded. Tarcon were aware of the risk of hardening when cutting thick plates. Rambøll was informed thatwater cutting at a subcontractor is used at thick plates to avoid preheat at gas cutting.Comment after the meeting: According to VD-AAB-Steel work section 3.2.4 shearing is only permitted for 8 mm platesand minor plate thicknesses. I.e. shearing is not permitted on this project.Traceability – principle of marking of items:Rambøll was informed of the procedure for traceability, and find it acceptable.Hard stamps are not allowed according to VD, AAB Steelworks section 3.2.1. Pen markers shall be used for welder'ssignature on the steel surfaces. Rambøll was informed that welders ID additionally will be noted on the productiondrawings.
Examples of items numbers on plates.
