Method Statement: Ready-Mix Concrete Delivery Ticket Inspection and Point-of-Discharge Quality Testing inspection and test plan example.

Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement: Ready-Mix Concrete Delivery Ticket Inspection and Point-of-Discharge Quality Testing

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

Published 25 May 2026 Rev. 00 1 views
About this ITP: This ITP defines hold/witness points and acceptance criteria for on-site inspection of ready-mix concrete at discharge, including documentation, tests, and cylinder fabrication.

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 control quality of fresh concrete at the point of discharge, ensuring compliance before placement.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

QA/QC inspectors, field technicians, site engineers, and the Engineer/Client representative.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

At arrival of each ready-mix truck and during sampling/testing prior to authorizing discharge.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Engineer/Client Representative for review and approval.

Inspection scope

Covers ticket verification, sampling, slump, temperature, density/yield, optional air content, water addition controls, and cylinder fabrication/initial curing.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

H1 – Delivery ticket review before discharge; W1 – Water addition at site; H2 – Cylinder fabrication and identification.

Typical inspection records

Delivery ticket checklist; test logs (slump, temperature, density/air); cylinder log and COC; curing box log; calibrations; NCRs if any.

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
Truck positioning and safety setup Visual verification of exclusion zone, wheel chocks Safe access and exclusion zone established Site Engineer / HSE Prestart checklist
Delivery ticket review (H1 – Hold) Verify batch time, revolutions, mix ID, W/Cmax, admixtures, quantities Time ≤ 90 min or per spec; revolutions ≤ 300; ticket complete QA/QC Inspector; Engineer Witness Ticket checklist; signatures
Sampling – composite sample Sampling per ASTM C172 Composite from middle discharge; sampling ≤ 15 min; protected Technician Sample ID record
Temperature test ASTM C1064 Within specified range (typ. 10–32°C) [Verify] Technician Temperature log
Slump test ASTM C143 Within target slump ± tolerance [Verify] Technician; QA/QC Witness Slump log
Air content (if specified) ASTM C231 (pressure) or C173 (volumetric) Meets specified air content ±1.5% [Verify] Technician Air content log
Fresh density and yield ASTM C138 Density within ±2% of theoretical; yield within ±1.5% [Verify] Technician Density/yield record
Water addition at site (W1 – Witness) Measure water; verify W/Cmax; 30 revolutions at mix speed Post-addition slump/air within limits; W/Cmax not exceeded QA/QC; Supplier; Engineer Witness Water addition form; retest logs
Cylinder fabrication (H2 – Hold) ASTM C31 – molding, rodding, finishing, ID Mold within 15 min; initial curing 16–27°C; correct number/IDs Technician; Engineer Witness Cylinder log; H2 signature
Acceptance/rejection decision Review all fresh results vs criteria All parameters pass or corrected without exceeding limits QA/QC with Site Engineer Acceptance/reject note on ticket
Records and reporting Document control check Logs complete, traceable, signed same day QA/QC Daily concrete report; COC; calibration refs

Frequently asked questions

Only where specified (e.g., air-entrained or freeze–thaw exposure classes). If specified, test at the defined frequency and method per ASTM C231/C173.

Per ASTM C94, both limits apply. The load must meet the more restrictive condition (≤ 90 minutes from batching and ≤ 300 revolutions) unless otherwise approved.
