About this ITP: ITP defining hold/witness points and acceptance criteria for receiving and field testing of ready‑mix concrete, including documentation and specimen handling.

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 only conforming concrete is placed by verifying documentation and conducting calibrated field tests before discharge.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

QC inspectors, site engineers, third‑party labs, and the Engineer/Client for oversight and acceptance.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

At each concrete delivery and during every pour requiring field acceptance tests and specimens.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Engineer/Client Representative for approval and witnessing as defined in contract.

Inspection scope

Covers delivery ticket review, sampling, temperature, slump/slump‑flow, air content, density/yield, specimen making, curing, and transport to lab.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

Hold: Ticket validation, acceptance release, NCR disposition. Witness: Sampling, specimen making, compressive strength testing (if specified).

Typical inspection records

Delivery Ticket Checklist, Field Test Reports, Specimen Register, Curing Log, Lab Certificates, NCR/CAR, calibration records.

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

Per ASTM/ACI, a strength test is the average of two 28‑day cylinders from the same sample. EN projects follow EN 206 conformity rules.

Hold at ticket validation and acceptance release; witness sampling and specimen making. Additional witnessing may be added by the Engineer.

Raise an NCR, isolate affected concrete, notify the Engineer and supplier, and implement agreed corrective actions and investigations.
