Provided that approved construction documents are the basis for construction and a verifiable in-house "check" system is established by Oregon Dome, PSI rep. believes that brace panels for the Crescent project can be nailed in accordance with the project requirements. The two alternate brace panels inspected this date visually appear to meet the project requirements of the construction documents provided. by Oregon Dome.
