Inspection of Customer Material

Linetec does not intentionally inspect customer material for flaws in metal or workmanship. It is the responsibility of the customer to control and approve manufacturing tolerance on their material.

Linetec will notify the customer of any obvious visible damage to bundles, skids or boxes that may be related to transfer or freight process.

If questionable damage is identified during processing, the customer will be notified as soon as possible. It is the responsibility of Linetec personnel to determine if the material should continue in the process or be held for customer determination.
