This document is a "Bolt Survey Report" for the Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center. It details the findings of a survey conducted to identify and document instances of ASTM A307 bolts used in steam and hot water systems, as these bolts are deemed inappropriate for such applications due to inadequate material strength at elevated temperatures.

• Project Scope: Comprehensive facility-wide survey to identify and document A307 bolts in steam and hot water systems.
• Survey Parameters: Focused on Decatur, GA VHA campus, excluding cast iron fittings. Systems include Steam and Condensate lines (over 15 psig) and Domestic Hot Water systems (over 50 psig).
• Impacted Areas: Critical infrastructure including Clinical Services (Radiology, labs), Patient Care (clinics, emergency services), and Support & Research (offices, therapy suites).
• Results: Surveyed 752 bolt sets and 5,216 bolts, all found to be non-compliant with current VA specifications.
• Recommendations: Prioritization of steam mains serving the greatest number of campus systems, with specific attention to Boiler Room BC115 and Mechanical Room 3C104.
• Detailed Data: Includes bolt count tables, detailed tables for each surveyed location (tag number, location, system, pressure, pipe size, etc.), floor plan drawings with tagged locations, and as-built information.
• Photographs: Includes photographs of each bolt set with unique tag numbers.

This report is highly relevant for any contractors involved in future replacement or maintenance projects at the Atlanta VA Medical Center. It provides a detailed inventory of non-compliant fasteners, their locations, and associated system information, which is crucial for planning and executing work on steam and hot water systems. The "Future Project Recommendations" section also highlights areas requiring immediate attention, guiding potential bidders on critical areas for future work.
