This pre-excavation inspection template helps field teams prepare sites before digging. Verify approved-for-construction drawings, assess the current work area, identify nearby services, and conduct CAT and Genny surveys with calibrated equipment. Mark up all known services, check traffic sensitivity and traffic management needs, confirm landowner permission and council notices, and capture permit board photos. Review access restrictions, special engineering difficulties, and any SSSI considerations. Complete and photo-attach risk assessments, align on contractor requirements, notify residents where needed, and ensure all controls are in place before work proceeds.
