Lineside Telephone Installation Quality Check Sheet

This checklist supports the quality assurance of lineside telephone installations for rail re-signalling projects. It guides teams through pre-works activities, NTP and cabinet details, and tail cable identification. It covers NTP tail terminations including sealed entries, correct jumpering, heatshrink, labeling, and required photographs. Sections include sheath gap installation and evidence, mounting checks for posts, walls, or fences, conduit protection, and general site photos. End termination steps detail compression glands, sleeves, conductor terminations, timer switch settings by telephone type, and cable ID labeling. Internal and external labeling requirements are listed, along with positional checks for lateral and longitudinal placement. Final sections ensure the unit is bagged out of use, site is cleared and secured, and any deviations or snags are recorded with photos for redlining and the snagging register.
