Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement: Liquid-Applied Polyurethane Waterproofing for Internal Wet Areas

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

Published 19 Jun 2026 Rev. 00 2 views
About this ITP: This ITP defines inspection points for substrate readiness, moisture, priming, fillets, reinforcement, multi-coat application, DFT verification, and 24-hour flood testing.

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 compliance of PU waterproofing works through structured inspections and tests before covering by finishes.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

QA/QC engineers, site engineers, specialist applicators, consultant/client representatives.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

From surface preparation through final flood test and release for tiling, covering each installation stage.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Engineer/Consultant for approval and witnessing of hold points.

Inspection scope

Substrate condition, moisture levels, priming coverage, detailing quality, film thickness (WFT/DFT), curing, flood testing, and documentation.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

Moisture acceptance; DFT verification; 24-hour flood test; final release for tiling.

Typical inspection records

Checklists, moisture reports, WFT/DFT logs, calibration certificates, batch logs, flood test certificate, NCR/CAR close-outs.

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
Substrate condition and falls check Straightedge tolerance; visual soundness; slope measurement Falls 1:80–1:60; tolerance ±3 mm under 2 m; substrate sound, clean Site Engineer / QA Pre-application checklist; photos

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Perform RH/MVER tests or an approved equivalent for each wet area before priming to avoid blistering or adhesion failure.

No visible leakage and water loss no greater than approximately 2 mm after compensating for evaporation over 24 hours, unless the specification states otherwise.

Yes, if the product’s solids by volume is known and application is uniform. Spot DFT comb checks should still be recorded where practical and approved.
