e. Mislocated Holes. When holes have been mislocated, it is best to either leave the hole unfilled or to
place a bolt in the hole. It is difficult to fill a hole by welding. When the hole must be filled, generally
when a new hole must be placed near or adjacent to the misplaced hole, a special repair procedure
should be followed to elongate the hole, then weld using stringer passes. NDT may be necessary after
welding, if required elsewhere on the project for groove welds. NDT is required for repair welds for holes
in cyclically loaded members. See AWS D1.1 Section 5.26.5.
