通用工程英語U1-2 (Section A&C)翻譯Unit 11 Site Inspection (2)U11 / Section A Some Tips for Site Inspection(P67-69)The previous unit referred to the general tips for hosting site inspections（工地檢查）, while this unit aims to introduce the general ideas of how to prepare inspectors for carrying out site inspections more efficiently, especially helpful for those young inspectors who are not so experienced.上一單元提到了主持接待工地檢查的一些通用技巧，而本單元旨在介紹檢查員應該如何準備，以便更有效地執(zhí)行工地檢查工作的一些總體(工作)思路，這對于那些經驗不足的年輕檢查員來說尤其有幫助Be goal-oriented 目標明確Most engineering projects involve many construction procedures and different sites, so, in order to implement supervision and maintain the project quality, there are many objects to be inspected on the site, such as the temporary facilities, formworks, reinforcement works, concrete works, steel structure works, piping and electrical works, roofing and water proofing, finishing works, safety management, and so on. Sort out the objects and steps of inspection so that the contractor can provide direct assistance and enough information. 大多數工程項目涉及很多施工程序和不同的施工工地，因此，為了實施工程監(jiān)督, 保證工程質量，工地上有很多項目需要檢查，例如臨時設施﹑（澆筑）模板﹑加固工程﹑混凝土工程﹑鋼結構工程﹑管道和電氣工程﹑屋頂和防水處理工程﹑終飾工程﹑安全管理工作等等。

檢查員要分類整理好被檢查的對象，明確檢查的各個步驟，以便承包商能夠提供直接的幫助和足夠的信息Schedule good timing （計劃）安排好檢查的時機Time the site inspection flexibly, taking the differences—inspecting goals, objects, and weather—into consideration . 靈活安排工地檢查時機，把不同的檢查目標﹑檢查對象以及天氣的差異情況列入考慮范圍If the inspection needs the preparation and the assistance of the contractor, call the reception desk ahead of schedule, giving the latter enough time to get ready. If the inspection aims to check the instant construction state, a sudden inspection is worth considering, without informing the contractor before that. 如果檢查需要承包商的準備和協(xié)助，請?zhí)崆巴ㄖ哟帲ㄇ芭_），給他們足夠的時間準備。

如果檢查的目的是要檢查即時施工狀態(tài)，那么不提前通知承包商，值得考慮進行一次突擊檢查（或“進行一次突擊檢查是值得考慮的”）It’s better to carry out the inspection in fair weather because the extreme weather may bring about downtime（停工期） of the construction, especially for those outdoor working.最好在好天氣時進行檢查，因為極端天氣可能會導致施工的停工，尤其是那些戶外施工作業(yè)Be armed with testing devices配備測試裝置It may sound like a no-brainer, but being equipped with necessary testing devices will save you from the troubles asking for help when needed. What to take depends on the different inspecting objects. But a tape measure（卷尺） is a must no matter what and where to inspect. It is easy to take but can work wonders in checking steel bars, carpenter working and other simple works. When a more accurate testing is going on, the total station, theodolite, or gradienter should be adopted. Undoubtedly, the contractor will be willing to provide those comparatively more sophisticated devices on the site when asked to.這聽起來似乎很簡單，但是裝備這些必要的測試設備，可以在你需要尋求幫助時避免不必要的麻煩。

要配備哪些裝置取決于不同的檢查對象但是無論在哪里檢查以及檢查什么，卷尺都是必須的雖然它很容易攜帶，但它可以在檢查鋼筋，木匠工作和其他簡單工作中會產生奇效當要進行更精確的測試時，應采用全站儀、經緯儀或水平儀毫無疑問，當被要求時，承包商愿意在現場提供那些相對比較精密的設備Observe safety regulations on worksite 遵守工地安全規(guī)章制度The safety regulations on the engineering worksite should be strictly observed by all the engineers and workers, let alone the inspectors.所有工程師和工人都應嚴格遵守工程施工現場的安全規(guī)程（規(guī)章制度）要求，更不用說檢察員們了Before getting close to the worksite, learn about the specific safety regulations of the target inspecting zone.在接近工地之前，要了解目標檢查區(qū)域的具體安全規(guī)則。

Ask the H.S.E. department to provide the safety helmets, reflective gear, protective shoes and so on. And the special insulating protective gear including gloves, boots and overshoes are needed when inspecting the electrical works.要求健康安全環(huán)保部門（HS.E部門）提供安全頭盔、反光裝置、防護鞋等等另外，在檢查電氣工程時，要求提供特殊的絕緣保護裝置，包括手套、靴子和絕緣套鞋等Keep a distance from the working truck cranes, wheel cranes, tower cranes, gantry cranes, etc., to avoid unexpected injury from falling objects.要注意與正在工作中的卡車起重機、輪式起重機、塔式起重機、龍門起重機等等保持一定距離，以避免因墜落物體而造成意外傷害。

Ask the professional technicians to operate the mechanical or electrical equipment.要求專業(yè)的技術人員來操作機械或電氣設備Be cautious about the ground on the site, preventing from falling down when it is too slippery and from being hurt by the wood, nails, steel bars and so on.所傷要當心工地的地面，防止因地面太滑而摔倒，也要避免被木頭、釘子、鋼筋等所傷Ask direct questions and be objective 直接提問，保持客觀Once the lead person from the contractor is identified, keep the overall contact with him during the inspection. It is not necessary to beat round the bush but to cut to the chase.一旦承包商確定了項目負責人，在檢查期間，應與他保持全面聯系。

沒必要說話時拐彎抹角兜圈子，而是要開門見山直入正題Be straightforward to the lead person when asking for design drawings, construction records, testing reports, and other documents not involving confidential information.需要看設計圖紙、施工記錄、測試報告和其它未涉及機密信息的文件時，應直接坦率地告訴項目負責人Ask the engineers or workers directly about the construction progress, procedures, technical requirements, material standard, etc., to get information in a more efficient way.直接詢問工程師或工人們關于施工進度，施工程序，技術要求和材料標準等等問題，從而更高效地獲得信息Point out the problems, if existing, and set the deadline and demands of rectification. It may be a little callous but it will turn out to be the m。
