Quality Inspection and Progress Report for Network Projects
This inspection checklist supports quality control and progress tracking across water and civil network projects. It covers stakeholder communications and disruption notices, site setup with contract specifications and for-construction drawings, and project management plans. It guides surveys and records including DBYD plans, hold points, photos, and asset data, plus as-constructed markups and survey checks. Technical sections include pipeline construction to contract and manufacturer specifications, bedding and backfill, restoration, welded joint logging, steel reinforcement, concrete work, pressure testing with NATA certification, and water quality protocols such as flushing, chlorination, and bacterial testing. Capture findings, assign corrective actions, and document completion with signatures.

B.W. Watermain Construction Checklist
Use this Watermain Construction Checklist to standardize inspections for water infrastructure projects. Verify pipe class and expiry, bedding material and depth, clearances from other services, plastic wrapping, depths per plan, anchor blocks, and kerb markings. Confirm management documentation on site, including project management plan, SWMS, inspection test plan, toolbox minutes, induction records, approved construction plans, and One Call documentation. Assess OHS controls such as PPE, barricading, first aid, traffic control and signage, as well as excavation and trenching safeguards, confined space permits and competencies, and equipment logbooks and safety features. Record environmental controls for runoff, dust, noise, and tree protection. Capture findings, comments, and photo records to support compliance.

Verify pipe and fitting materials, coating standards, storage and handling. Review pipe laying practices for jointing, bedding, backfill, trench support, compaction, thrust blocks, depth of cover, and conformance with design drawings. Capture notes, photos, and sign off.
