通用工程英语U1-2 (Section A&C)翻译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（工地检查）, 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.上一单元提到了主持接待工地检查的一些通用技巧，而本单元旨在介绍检查员应该如何准备，以便更有效地执行工地检查工作的一些总体(工作)思路，这对于那些经验不足的年轻检查员来说尤其有帮助。Be goal-oriented 目标明确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. 大多数工程项目涉及很多施工程序和不同的施工工地，因此，为了实施工程监督, 保证工程质量，工地上有很多项目需要检查，例如临时设施（浇筑）模板加固工程混凝土工程钢结构工程管道和电气工程屋顶和防水处理工程终饰工程安全管理工作等等。检查员要分类整理好被检查的对象，明确检查的各个步骤，以便承包商能够提供直接的帮助和足够的信息。Schedule good timing （计划）安排好检查的时机Time the site inspection flexibly, taking the differencesinspecting goals, objects, and weatherinto consideration . 灵活安排工地检查时机，把不同的检查目标检查对象以及天气的差异情况列入考虑范围。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. 如果检查需要承包商的准备和协助，请提前通知接待处（前台），给他们足够的时间准备。如果检查的目的是要检查即时施工状态，那么不提前通知承包商，值得考虑进行一次突击检查（或“进行一次突击检查是值得考虑的”）。Its 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.最好在好天气时进行检查，因为极端天气可能会导致施工的停工，尤其是那些户外施工作业。Be armed with testing devices配备测试装置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.这听起来似乎很简单，但是装备这些必要的测试设备，可以在你需要寻求帮助时避免不必要的麻烦。要配备哪些装置取决于不同的检查对象。但是无论在哪里检查以及检查什么，卷尺都是必须的。虽然它很容易携带，但它可以在检查钢筋，木匠工作和其他简单工作中会产生奇效。当要进行更精确的测试时，应采用全站仪、经纬仪或水平仪。毫无疑问，当被要求时，承包商愿意在现场提供那些相对比较精密的设备。Observe safety regulations on worksite 遵守工地安全规章制度The safety regulations on the engineering worksite should be strictly observed by all the engineers and workers, let alone the inspectors.所有工程师和工人都应严格遵守工程施工现场的安全规程（规章制度）要求，更不用说检察员们了。Before getting close to the worksite, learn about the specific safety regulations of the target inspecting zone.在接近工地之前，要了解目标检查区域的具体安全规则。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.要求健康安全环保部门（HS.E部门）提供安全头盔、反光装置、防护鞋等等。另外，在检查电气工程时，要求提供特殊的绝缘保护装置，包括手套、靴子和绝缘套鞋等。Keep a distance from the working truck cranes, wheel cranes, tower cranes, gantry cranes, etc., to avoid unexpected injury from falling objects.要注意与正在工作中的卡车起重机、轮式起重机、塔式起重机、龙门起重机等等保持一定距离，以避免因坠落物体而造成意外伤害。Ask the professional technicians to operate the mechanical or electrical equipment.要求专业的技术人员来操作机械或电气设备。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.所伤要当心工地的地面，防止因地面太滑而摔倒，也要避免被木头、钉子、钢筋等所伤。Ask direct questions and be objective 直接提问，保持客观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.一旦承包商确定了项目负责人，在检查期间，应与他保持全面联系。没必要说话时拐弯抹角兜圈子，而是要开门见山直入正题。Be straightforward to the lead person when asking for design drawings, construction records, testing reports, and other documents not involving confidential information.需要看设计图纸、施工记录、测试报告和其它未涉及机密信息的文件时，应直接坦率地告诉项目负责人。Ask the engineers or workers directly about the construction progress, procedures, technical requirements, material standard, etc., to get information in a more efficient way.直接询问工程师或工人们关于施工进度，施工程序，技术要求和材料标准等等问题，从而更高效地获得信息。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
