Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement: Pre-Commissioning and Final Flow Testing of Sewerage Network

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

Published 03 Oct 2026 Rev. 00 4 views
About this ITP: This ITP defines hold/witness points, inspection steps, and acceptance criteria for sewer pre-commissioning and final flow 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 ensure systematic verification that the sewer network is clean, hydraulically compliant, and acceptable to the Engineer/Authority.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

Contractor’s QA/QC team, Site Engineers, HSE, Specialist Subcontractors, and the Engineer/Authority representatives.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

After construction and before handover, and again following any remedial works or alterations.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Engineer/Authority for review and approval before commencement.

Inspection scope

Permits, cleaning, CCTV surveys, flushing, dye tracing, hydraulic measurements, optional leakage tests, and environmental compliance.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

CSE setup; post-clean CCTV review; hydraulic verification test; leakage test (if specified); final CCTV; handover sign-off.

Typical inspection records

Permits, calibration certs, jetting/flushing logs, dye and hydraulic logs, CCTV reports, leak test sheets, waste tickets, acceptance forms.

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
Permits and pre-start briefing Verify active permits (CSE, TMP, abstraction/discharge) and TBT conducted All permits valid; attendees signed Site Engineer / HSE Officer PTW, TBT attendance
Equipment calibration and checks Verify calibration dates and functionality (bump test, AV meter check) Valid certificates; daily function tests passed QA/QC Engineer Calibration certs; daily checklists
Initial manhole/line inspection Access/egress, benching, covers, downstream path Safe access; no immediate hazards Site Engineer Checklist; photos
Debris clearance (jetting/vacuum) Pressure/flow within limits; debris removal efficiency Residual silt ≤ 5 mm or ≤ 2% DN [Verify] Jetting Operator / QA/QC Jetting log; waste tickets
Interim CCTV post-clean BS EN 13508-2 coding; obstruction/defect check No Grade 4–5 structural defects; laterals ≤ 10% DN protrusion [Verify] CCTV Operator / Engineer CCTV report/video
Water source set-up and backflow prevention Backflow device fitted; leak-free; meter zeroed Compliant with BS EN 1717; meter operational Site Engineer / Authority Meter log; photo
High-velocity water flushing Achieve target velocity/time; effluent clarity Vt 1.0–1.5 m/s for ≥2–5 min or ≥3 pipe volumes [Verify] Site Engineer / QA/QC Flushing log (flow/time/volume)
Dye tracing (connectivity) Transit time vs calculation; correct downstream arrival Within ±25% of predicted; correct connectivity Flow Testing Engineer Dye test sheet; media
Hydraulic verification (depth/velocity) AV meter depth/velocity under steady inflow Measured y, v within ±10–15% of design; no surcharge Flow Testing Engineer / Engineer AV logs; calc sheet
Drain-down and ponding check Standing water after cessation of flow No ponding >10 mm or >1 x DN length [Verify] Site Engineer / CCTV Operator Photos; CCTV clip
Leakage test (if specified) BS EN 1610 water test (10–50 kPa) ≤0.15–0.20 L/m²·h loss [Verify] QA/QC Engineer / Engineer Leak test record
Final CCTV Final condition and cleanliness Meets project acceptance; no residual defects CCTV Operator / Engineer Final CCTV report/video
Environmental compliance Discharge quality; spill control; waste documentation Within consent; zero uncontrolled release HSE Officer Sampling results; waste tickets
Handover documentation Completeness and sign-offs All records submitted and accepted; no open NCRs QA/QC Engineer / Engineer Signed acceptance; dossier index

Frequently asked questions

Yes, if connectivity is confirmed through as-builts and CCTV. It is recommended for complex networks or unclear flow paths.

Use project specifications and relevant standards. Typical benchmarks are provided here and must be verified for the project.
