I have some ~65' long x 6' deep heavy transfer trusses using wide-flange members. The trusses support building columns which have the load of multiple building stories. The truss diaogonal and vertical member connections are all full-pen moment connections (for stiffness and achieving the most clear space between members for MEP routing). I was hoping they could be shipped and installed in one piece, but the fabricator is saying they can't and they will need to break into three pieces.
I plan on making them do full-penetration welded field splices with ultrasonic testing. Is there anything else that can/should be done for quality insurance and quality control in the field?
