Concrete inspection & test plan
From pre-pour checks and concrete delivery to curing, strength reports and final inspection.
Have us prepare it ยท USD 99Set-out
Check element location, levels, dimensions and reference marks before formwork close-up.
Survey or measure against approved drawings and established control marks.
Founding / substrate
Check exposed founding surface or substrate is the specified type, level and condition before placing concrete.
Visual inspection; compare geotechnical/design release and drawing; request geotechnical or design review where specified.
Formwork and falsework
Inspect formwork dimensions, line, level, support, cleanliness, tightness, release agent and access.
Visual and dimensional inspection against drawings and approved temporary-works design/checks.
Reinforcement materials
Verify reinforcement product identification, grade, size and traceability before fixing.
Check tags, delivery documents and material certificates against bar schedule and approved drawings.
Reinforcement installation
Check bar position, spacing, laps, anchorage, cover supports and congestion against structural details.
Visual inspection and measurement before concrete placement.
Cast-in items and joints
Check cast-in plates, bolts, sleeves, conduits, waterstops, construction joints and isolation joints.
Compare location, type and fixing against approved coordination/structural details; measure critical set-out.
Pre-pour release
Confirm prerequisites are complete and the pour area is ready; record the actual release decision.
Complete pre-pour checklist covering formwork, reinforcement, embeds, cleanliness, access, weather/contingency and required approvals.
Concrete delivery and batch identity
Check each delivery docket and identify the supplied mix, batch, quantity and arrival/discharge times.
Review docket at receipt and reconcile mix ID against approved order and pour location.
Fresh concrete checks
Perform specified fresh concrete tests and sampling and identify specimens to the relevant pour/batch.
Use project-nominated test method, equipment and competent tester; label specimens with sample, batch and element IDs.
Placement and consolidation
Observe placement sequence, discharge location, continuity, segregation, consolidation and construction-joint treatment.
Site observation during placement; note interruptions, method and corrective action.
Finishing and surface
Inspect finish, falls, edges, joints and surface condition against drawings and finish schedule.
Visual and dimensional checks with straightedge/level or survey method stated by project.
Curing and protection
Start and maintain specified curing and protect concrete from weather, early loading, impact and contamination.
Record curing method, start/end, interruptions and protection measures.
Strength specimen results
Track laboratory reports for specimens to their concrete batch, element, test age and specified strength.
Review lab report identity, method, curing/custody details and results against project criteria; refer adverse or missing results.
Strip, survey, defects and closeout
Verify approved stripping/loading status, finished geometry and defect/repair disposition; compile records.
Check release instructions, survey/measure against drawings, inspect defects and close out records/NCRs.
