TDI does not allow for piecemeal certification of projects where there are
multiple applications filed by multiple PEs or inspectors for the same scope of
work.
For example, many property owners are deciding to install roof-mounted
solar panels on structures that are insured for wind and hail hazards by TWIA.
- When the scope of a project includes an entire re-roof or partial re-roof
along with the installation of solar panels, the expectation is that one or
more inspectors may perform the inspection of the re-roof work and the
solar panels installation as required, but only one PE or inspector may file
the application to TDI for the entire scope of work.
- The application sent to TDI must describe the construction details for
each portion of the work on the WPI-1, WPI-2, or WPI-2E application in
the comments beneath the type of inspection. For example, “Entire re-roof and solar panel installation.”
- When a re-roof is required on a structure with previously installed and
certified solar panels, the application must describe the construction
details as entire re-roof with solar panel removal and re-installation, or a
partial re-roof with solar panel removal and re-installation.
- Tell your builders not to enter another WPI-1 application if a permit has
expired. A revision should be made to the existing file.
- Refer to your Needs Correction queue daily; requests from Engineering
Services or Intake will appear here.
