Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement: Erection and Shifting of Modular Slab Soffit Table Formwork Systems

AI-assisted inspection and test plan connected to a method statement, with PDF and Excel export.

Published 03 Jun 2026 Rev. 00 13 views 1 downloads
About this ITP: Defines inspection points for table formwork: design approval, assembly, spacing, level/camber, guardrails, pre-pour hold, early strike hold, and shifting checks.

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.

What you can customize

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 that table formwork and associated temporary works comply with the TWD and safety standards at each critical stage.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

QA/QC engineers, TWC, Site Engineers, Formwork Supervisors, HSE, and the Lifting Supervisor.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

From receipt of materials through assembly, pre-pour, early striking, table shift, reset, and final striking/hand-over.

Who receives or approves this ITP

The ITP is usually submitted to the client representative, consultant, resident engineer, or project management consultant for review and approval before the related work activity starts.

Inspection scope

Design approvals, component condition, geometry/spacing, level/camber, edge protection compliance, permits to load/strike, and controlled shifting/flying.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

HOLD: Pre-pour; Early strike; Final strike. WITNESS: During pour; Table shifting/flying.

Typical inspection records

Approved TWD, ITRs, permits, calibration certificates, lifting certificates, cube/maturity results, checklists, NCRs, and closeout dossier.

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.

Inspection and test plan

Activity Inspection / Test Acceptance Criteria Responsibility Record
TWD Approval and Briefing Review and sign-off of calculations/drawings; team briefing Approved documents; personnel briefed; Temporary Works Register updated TWC / TWD / PM Approved TWD; briefing attendance; TWR entry
Material/Component Receipt Inspection Visual check; verify certificates and WLL; check drop-head function Conforming components; no damage/deformation; certificates present QA/QC Engineer / Formwork Foreman Material receiving ITR; photos
Setting Out Verification Check gridlines and levels Within ±5 mm of control; elevations confirmed Site Engineer / QA Survey records
Table Pre-Assembly Check primary/secondary spacings; plywood thickness; screw spacing As per TWD; screws: edges ~150 mm, field ~300 mm [Verify] Formwork Foreman / QA Assembly checklist; ITR
Prop/Drop-Head Layout Measure grid spacing; plumb check; base/sole boards Spacing per TWD; plumb ≤1/200; base fully bearing Site Engineer / QA Prop layout ITR
Level/Camber Set Laser level survey; camber checks Level ±5 mm/3 m; camber per TWD (typ. L/500) Site Engineer Level report
Edge Protection Installation Check top/mid rails, toe boards, fixings EN 13374/OSHA-compliant; height 1.0–1.2 m; toe ≥150 mm Edge Protection Supervisor / HSE / QA Edge protection ITR
Pre-Pour Inspection (Hold Point) Complete ITP checklist; release agent; closures; access All previous ITP points closed; Permit to Load issued QA/QC Engineer / TWC Pre-pour ITR; PTL
Monitoring During Pour Observe deflection and stability Deflections within TWD; no distress Formwork Foreman / Site Engineer Pour log
Early Strike Authorization (Hold Point) Review cube/maturity results; inspect slab and support Min. concrete strength for early strike met (typ. ≥10 MPa) [Verify]; re-shoring installed TWC / QA/QC / Structural Engineer Permit to Strike; test results
Table Shifting/Rolling or Flying Route clearance; castor capacity; wind speed; exclusion zones Complies with plan; wind ≤ limit; no unprotected edges Lifting Supervisor / HSE / QA Shifting checklist; lifting records
Reset Verification in New Bay Repeat checks of spacing, level, edge protection Meets Steps 4–8 criteria QA/QC / Site Engineer Reset ITR
Final Striking and Re-shore Removal (Hold) Verify target strength and sequence Strength per TWD/Engineer achieved; safe sequence followed TWC / QA/QC / Structural Engineer Final Strike Permit
Closeout and Handover Verify records completeness All ITRs, permits, certificates filed; NCRs closed QA/QC / PM Handover dossier

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Early striking requires strength evidence, re-shoring in place, and TWC/Engineer approval documented on a Permit to Strike.

Approved TWD and drawings, completed assembly/spacing/edge protection ITRs, Permit to Load, calibrated level records, and any required lifting records.

By checking castor/lifting gear capacities, route/wind limits, exclusion zones, and supervision in accordance with the approved plan and ITP.
