Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement – Post-Tensioned Slab Stressing and Grouting (Tendons, Elongations, Anchors, Grout QA/QC)
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.
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 define inspection/testing, hold and witness points, and acceptance criteria ensuring PT stressing and grouting meet design and code requirements.
Who uses this inspection and test plan
PT specialist, main contractor QA/QC, Consultant/Engineer, and site supervision teams.
When this ITP is prepared and submitted
From pre-pour checks through stressing and grouting to final documentation and handover.
Who receives or approves this ITP
Consultant/Engineer for approval and witnessing per contract.
Inspection scope
Covers tendon/duct/anchor installation, concrete strength verification, stressing operations, elongation acceptance, anchor seating, grout batching and injection, and post-grout checks.
Typical hold, witness, and review points
Hold: concrete readiness to stress, pre-grouting checks. Witness: stressing operations and grout injection.
Typical inspection records
PT installation checklist, calibration certificates, stressing sheets, elongation comparisons, grout test reports and logs, as-built tendon layout.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-pour tendon/duct/anchor installation | Visual, duct continuity (blow-through/rodded) | Layout/profile/cover as per drawings; anchors aligned; vents installed at all high points and ends; ducts sealed | PT Supervisor / QA-QC / Consultant (W) | PT installation checklist, photos |
| Concrete strength prior to stressing (HOLD) | Review compressive strength reports; age verification | Minimum required strength and age achieved per design/spec [Verify] | QA-QC / Consultant (H) | Test certificates; hold point release |
| Jack/gauge calibration verification | Review calibration certificates vs asset IDs | Valid calibration; pressure-force chart on site | QA-QC / PT Supervisor | Equipment inspection form |
| Stressing operation (Witness) | Gauge readings vs force chart at stages 0.25/0.5/0.75/1.00 Pj | Stable holds, no sudden losses, target Pj achieved [Verify] | PT Supervisor / Consultant (W) | Stressing sheets signed |
| Elongation measurement and acceptance (HOLD if out of tolerance) | Measured vs theoretical elongation | Within ±7% of theoretical including friction/wobble [Verify] | QA-QC / Consultant (W) | Elongation comparison sheet |
| Anchor seating/wedge draw-in | Measure draw-in after release | Within supplier/system limits (typ. 4–8 mm) [Verify] | PT Supervisor / QA-QC | Seating record |
| Pre-grouting checks (HOLD) | Vents and ducts functional; anchors capped; continuity proven | All tendons ready; no defects/leaks evident | PT Supervisor / QA-QC / Consultant (H) | Pre-grout checklist |
| Grout batching QA | EN 445: flow time, density, bleed setup | Flow 11–30 s; density per data sheet; bleed ≤0.5% [Verify] | Grouting Technician / QA-QC | Grout test report |
| Grout injection (Witness) | Injection pressure, air-free return at vents, closure sequence | Complete filling; pressure 0.5–1.0 MPa or per system; no leaks | PT Supervisor / Consultant (W) | Grouting log with volumes/pressures |
| Post-grout verification | Visual check of sealed vents/caps; records completeness | All vents/caps sealed and labeled; records compiled | QA-QC | Close-out report |
