SHEQ F48 Drainage Quality Inspection Form
This drainage quality inspection checklist supports civil works projects by documenting site details, drawings, drainage type and materials, and key quality checks. It covers trench safety and alignment, pipe bedding material and depth, pipe size and material verification, gradient and invert levels, and laying direction. Testing options include air or water tests. Manhole position, construction, inverts, and branch counts are verified, followed by visual inspections. Backfill requirements address surround and bedding materials, fibre board at concrete joints, and compaction. Includes principal contractor acceptance and sign off.

Below Ground Drainage Inspection Checklist
This below ground drainage inspection checklist helps construction teams verify safe and compliant installation during civil works. It covers preparation and excavation checks, confirmation of existing services and levels, assessment of formation and shoring, proper pipe bedding, correct pipe size and alignment, installation of branches, accurate manhole positioning and formation, pressure testing of pipe runs, correct pipe surrounds, compaction of backfill, and surface reinstatement. It also prompts removal of surplus spoil, leaving the area clean for following trades, safely covering manholes, and sealing any open drain ends.
