Re: Cut Engineered Board
As I look at the photo's the beam/girder does not appear to be cut, though I may be missing something. I have ran across Weyerhauser beams that have had substantial holes cut in them (usually mechanical contractor work) and I usually contact the engineers. Most times thier regional inspector has already observed the beams and contacted the builder/contractor. Recently I inspected one where the engineers had issued a letter to the contractor stating the beam should be replaced but it was not and the house was sold. After my inspection, and action by the contractor, the engineers developed a steel plate to reinforce the beam and certified it.
I was suprised just how much the engineers would accept with thier manufactured beams; it is much more than what they put in writing on the installation instructions. Bottom line though is to contact the engineers directly or have the clients contact the engineers so that a fix can be made.
