All CEMS shelters undergo a 3-stage inspection during the manufacturing process: Pre-Skinned, Skinned, and Final.
At the Pre-Skinned inspection stage, the framework of the shelter is inspected for the correct dimensions and material per the construction drawing specifications. The floor and frame welds are also inspected to ensure that they are structurally sound.
During the Skinned inspection stage, the insulation and paneling that is installed on the framework is inspected per the assembly drawing specifications. The interior and exterior siding as well as the roof paneling are all inspected for correct material, installation and damage. The insulation is also inspected for proper installation and specifications.
The Final inspection stage takes place when the building assembly has been completed and all equipment and components have been installed on the interior and exterior of the shelter. This includes installation of all systems, wiring, hardware, and labeling. The equipment is inspected to the assembly drawing for correct installation.
A checklist is used at each stage to document the inspections as well as any non-conformances that need to be corrected.
