  • Instructions

    This form will walk you through the inventory and prompt you to count pieces of equipment. For each item, you will see a photo, a brief description, and the total quantity required for the competition. Please complete all requested fields. 

    If you notice any damaged or missing equipment, select yes when prompted. You will then have the opportunity to indicate the quantity needing to be replaced by AISC. 

    ORGANIZATION OF FORM: This form is organized generally by size of item. You will first be prompted to inventory the heavier items for the loading stations (i.e. angles, grates, bearing plates, etc.) followed by smaller items (i.e. deflection measuring devices, tape measures, accessories, etc.)

    DOCUMENTING DAMAGED EQUIPMENT: At the end of the inventory form, you will be able to provide more information about any damaged equipment. Please clearly describe the damage of each equipment item, as this will help AISC determine if the equipment needs to be replaced or simply repaired. Photo documentation is also recommended. Please upload all photos in one file (i.e. PDF) before submitting. 

    SAVING THE FORM: If you can't complete the SSBC Equipment Inventory Form in one sitting, you may save what you have and complete it later.
