Quarry Weekly Geotechnical Inspection Checklist
by Kevin Meades, from the Community
This Standard 18 weekly inspection checklist is designed for quarry extraction areas focusing on excavations and stripping. It guides geotechnical checks of crests, faces, and toes, identifying cracking, bulging, slumping, loose material, erosion, and water ingress or ponding. Inspectors can record deviations from excavation rules or the development scheme, note unexpected geological conditions, and assess stability above and below waterlines. The form includes sections for general observations, defects that require specialist notification, recommended remedial actions, and final sign-off, supporting safer, compliant quarry operations.
