About this ITP: This ITP defines hold/witness points and acceptance criteria for street lighting works including foundations, anchor bolts, concrete, erection, electrical tests, and EN 13201 verification.

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 systematic inspection and testing at critical stages, achieving compliance with design, safety, and applicable standards.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

Contractor’s Site/QA teams, Engineer/Client representatives, and independent inspectors.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

From pre-construction permits through excavation, concrete, erection, electrical testing, night testing, to final handover.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Engineer/Client Representative for approval and witnessing per contract.

Inspection scope

Covers permits, setting out, excavation, formation, ducts/earthing, reinforcement and bolts, concrete, backfill, erection, wiring, electrical tests, energization, and lux/luminance checks.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

Hold: formation approval; rebar/anchor bolts pre-pour; dead tests before energization. Witness: concrete placement, column erection, torque check, lux survey.

Typical inspection records

PTW, utility scans, IRs, concrete test reports, compaction results, torque logs, electrical test sheets, commissioning records, lux survey, as-builts.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Continuity, insulation resistance at 500 V DC with ≥1 MΩ, polarity, and earth electrode resistance as per project/utility. Records must be signed by a Licensed Electrician.

They are derived from the design’s EN 13201 lighting class. Acceptance is based on measured average levels and uniformities within project-specified tolerances.
