About this ITP: Structured ITP defining inspections, tests, acceptance criteria, and hold/witness points for safe, accurate modular wall formwork erection.

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 ensure erected formwork meets safety, dimensional, and structural integrity requirements prior to concrete placement.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

QA/QC engineers, site engineers, formwork supervisors, TWC, HSE officers, and client representatives.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

From receiving components through pre-pour checks and immediate post-pour stability verification.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Client/Engineer for approval before works commence.

Inspection scope

Materials, lifting equipment, setting out, coupling torque, gaskets, walers, props/anchors, tie spacing, alignment, thickness, and pre-pour integrity.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

HP-01 Pre-pour integrity; WP-01 Monitoring during pour; Witness torque and anchor tests as specified.

Typical inspection records

Checklists, torque logs, survey reports, anchor test reports, calibration certificates, permits, OEM manuals, photographic records.

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
Material receiving inspection (panels, ties, clamps, walers) Random dimensional checks Undamaged; certificates valid; no deformation >2 mm over 2 m QA/QC Engineer Receiving ITR, photos
Rigging and lifting gear verification N/A In-date inspection; WLL adequate; tags present Appointed Person / HSEO Rigging register
Setting out and base/kicker level Instrument readings Line/level within drawings; base level ±5 mm Site Engineer / Surveyor Survey report
First panel plumb and anchorage Anchor verification Plumb within 6 mm/3 m; anchors per design Site Engineer / QA/QC Checklist; photos
Panel coupling/clamp torque Calibrated wrench OEM torque (e.g., 70–120 N·m) [Verify] Formwork Supervisor / QA/QC Torque log
Gasket/seal installation Compression observation during closure Continuous; 30–50% compression [Verify] QA/QC Checklist; photos
Walers/strongbacks installation Spot torque Spacing and fixity per design/OEM Supervisor / QA/QC Torque log; checklist
Push–pull props and anchors Pull test if specified Prop WLL adequate; anchors pass test (1.25–1.5× service) [Verify] TWC / QA/QC Anchor test report
Tie-rod installation and spacing Torque/tension spot check if specified Spacing per drawings; full thread engagement ≥1×dia beyond nut QA/QC / Site Engineer Tie log; sketch
Wall thickness and spacers Gauges/spacers ±10 mm of nominal [Verify] QA/QC Inspection sheet
Line and plumb final survey Instrument readings Plumb 6 mm/3 m; line ≤5 mm/10 m [Verify] Surveyor / QA/QC Survey report
Pre-pour integrity and pressure check (HP-01) Calcs vs OEM charts; torque logs Predicted pressure ≤ allowable; pour rate limit set and briefed TWC / QA/QC / Site Engineer HP-01 ITR; calc sheet
Monitoring during pour (WP-01) Observe deflection/leakage No progressive bulging; leakage controlled; rate not exceeded Supervisor / HSEO / QA Pour log; observations
Post-pour stability check Instrument as needed Form stable; no unauthorised release of ties/props Supervisor / QA Post-pour checklist

Frequently asked questions

Only if specified by the temporary works design or project specifications. Where required, test to 1.25–1.5× service load and record results.

Use impact wrenches only for tightening; verify final torque with a calibrated torque wrench and record values.

Adopt ACI 117/EN 13670 benchmarks unless stricter project tolerances apply. The most stringent requirement governs.
