AI-assisted inspection and test plan connected to a method statement, with PDF and Excel export.
More than a static template
Unlike a downloadable Word or PDF template, this ITP is an AI-assisted editable starting point directly connected to its method statement. Every inspection activity, hold point, and acceptance criterion is structured and ready to adapt to your project.
- AI-assisted customization — Tailor inspection activities and acceptance criteria to your specific project scope.
- Linked method statement — This ITP is connected to the corresponding method statement describing the work sequence.
- Multiple export formats — Download as a formatted PDF or editable Excel spreadsheet.
- Editable starting point, not a final document — Review and verify all content against your project specifications and standards before use.

When you save this ITP to your account, every inspection row becomes editable. You can add, remove, or modify:
- Inspection activity — Description of what is being inspected.
- Inspection type — Hold point (H), Witness point (W), Review (R), or Monitor (M).
- Responsibility — Contractor, subcontractor, engineer, or client.
- Frequency — How often the inspection occurs.
- Acceptance criteria — Referenced standard or specification requirement.
- Records — Forms, test reports, or checklists required as evidence.
Why this ITP is used
To verify containment integrity, control of fibre release, worker exposure compliance, and that clearance standards are achieved before reoccupation.
Who uses this inspection and test plan
LARC supervisors, independent analysts, principal contractor QA, and client representatives.
When this ITP is prepared and submitted
From pre-start approvals through active removal to final clearance and demobilisation.
Who receives or approves this ITP
Client/Engineer/Regulator as required.
Inspection scope
Containment construction and pressure, glovebag installation and wet methods, air monitoring, waste packaging and labelling, and final visual/air clearance.
Typical hold, witness, and review points
Enclosure smoke test (Hold), commencement of removal (Witness), waste dispatch (Witness), four-stage clearance and air test (Hold).
Typical inspection records
Enclosure/NPU logs, smoke test reports, calibration certificates, air monitoring results, waste consignment notes, clearance certificate.
Important approval note
This ITP is an AI-assisted editable starting point, not a pre-approved document. Before use on any project, all inspection activities, hold points, and acceptance criteria must be reviewed and approved by the relevant parties (superintendent, principal contractor, or client representative) in accordance with your contract and project quality plan.
Always verify acceptance criteria against your applicable drawings, specifications, and regulatory requirements. Hold points must be confirmed with the relevant authority before work proceeds past that point.
