Monthly Lake and Silt Lagoon Geotechnical Checklist

by Nosterfield Quarry, from the Community

10+

This monthly geotechnical checklist supports inspections of quarry lakes and silt lagoons. It guides teams to assess embankment stability, signs of movement, erosion, wave action, seepage, and surface water discharge. It covers freeboard below one metre, inflow and outflow obstructions, uneven silt buildup, and condition of lifebelts, signs, fences, and edge protection. Capture notes and photos, flag issues for geotechnical review, and document recommended remedial actions and sign off.

Standard 18 Monthly Lake and Silt Inspections
This Standard 18 template supports monthly geotechnical inspections of lakes and silt placement activities for restoration at quarry sites such as Killerby Quarry. It guides inspectors through checks on embankment stability, erosion, seepage, freeboard, inflow and outflow obstructions, uneven silt build up, and safety equipment conditions. Users can log deviations from development schemes, note defects with photos, list concerns, recommend remedial actions, and complete sign off for accountability. Designed for quarry and mining operations focused on safe, compliant restoration practices.

Monthly Lagoon Inspection Geotechnical Checklist
This monthly geotechnical inspection template helps quarry and sand and gravel teams assess lagoon and silt pond stability and safety. Check for wall movement, bulging, cracks, seepage, erosion, freeboard levels, surface water scouring, obstructions to pipes and overflows, and condition of lifebelts, signs, and fences. Record observations, list concerns, note defects needing specialist review, and recommend remedial actions to maintain compliance and operational safety.

Reg 12 Geotechnical Pre-Start Inspection
This Reg 12 geotechnical pre-start inspection checklist supports daily quarry and mining operations by guiding checks on tips and stockpiles, raw material tipping to plant, haul roads and edge protection, and lake or silt restoration areas. It prompts validation of face stability in dry excavations and stripping, dredging controls and stand-offs, and both dry and wet excavation safeguards including life buoys and risk assessments. The form covers short-term tips, bunding, drainage, and signs of movement or failure, plus quality suitability of material. It records general observations, required remedial actions, specialist notifications, and final sign off to maintain safety and operational quality.

Quarry Geotechnical Inspection Checklist (Monthly)
This monthly quarry geotechnical inspection checklist helps supervisors assess the safety of haul roads and edge protection in sand and gravel operations. Verify compliance with development schemes and tipping rules, check stand-off distances to faces, boundaries, and water bodies, and look for potholes, surface deterioration, cracks, and washouts. Confirm continuous safety bunds, adequate haul road width, and clear drainage blankets, drains, and culverts. Inspect edge protection heights, bund integrity, dredger working areas for stand-off and material behind bunds, and the adequacy of temporary edge protection during soil movements. Capture issues, recommend remedial actions, note items of concern, flag defects requiring geotechnical specialist notification, and complete sign-off.
