Inspection and Test Plan for Method Statement: Integrated Waterproofing and Root Barrier System for Extensive Green Roofs

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

Published 06 Nov 2026 Rev. 00 4 views
About this ITP: This ITP defines inspections, tests, acceptance criteria, and records for installing waterproofing, performing ELD, and placing root barrier, drainage, and filter layers on extensive green roofs.

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 that roofing assemblies are watertight, root-resistant, and properly configured for drainage before overburden is applied.

Who uses this inspection and test plan

QA/QC engineers, site engineers, roofing supervisors, ELD specialists, and Client/Consultant representatives.

When this ITP is prepared and submitted

From substrate acceptance through final inspection, with hold points at ELD and handover stages.

Who receives or approves this ITP

Consultant / Employer’s Representative

Inspection scope

Covers substrate checks, membrane installation and seams/DFT, outlets and terminations, ELD setup and testing, root barrier, drainage/retention, and filter geotextile.

Typical hold, witness, and review points

ELD setup and 100% testing (Hold), critical details (Witness), final inspection/handover (Hold).

Typical inspection records

ITP checklists, calibration certificates, material COCs, ELD reports, photographs, NCRs, as-builts, and manufacturer warranty pre-approval.

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-works review & approvals Check approvals, permits Method/ITP, submittals approved; permits in place. PM / QA/QC Approval records, permits
Substrate acceptance Moisture meter (CM); falls check Clean, dry; moisture ≤ 5% CM [Verify]; falls achieved; outlets functional. Site Engineer / QA/QC Substrate acceptance form, photos
Primer application (if used) WFT gauge; cure time Coverage and cure per TDS; no contamination. Roofing Supervisor / QA Primer log
Membrane field installation Trial welds; seam probing 100% OR DFT checks for liquids Overlap ≥ 75 mm (sheets); full fusion; or DFT ≥ min per TDS. Roofing Supervisor / QA Seam/DFT records, photos
Details (upstands, corners, penetrations) Probe/adhesion checks Continuous waterproofing; upstands ≥ 150 mm above finished level [Verify]; neat terminations. Roofing Supervisor / QA Detail inspection sheets
Outlets & terminations Water pour test Free flow; secure clamping/termination bars; no ponding at outlets. Site Engineer / QA Outlet test log
ELD pre-test setup Continuity verification; calibration check ELD setup acceptable; calibrated equipment. QA/QC / ELD Specialist ELD setup record
ELD testing (100% area) ASTM D7877 / D8231 Zero active leaks; all anomalies repaired and retested to pass. ELD Specialist / QA witness ELD report with marked plan
Membrane repair verification Retest affected zones All repaired areas passed ELD. Roofing Supervisor / QA / ELD Repair & retest records
Root barrier installation Seam checks; continuity EN 13948/FLL compliant product; overlaps ≥ 100 mm; sealed per system; no fixings through membrane. Roofing Supervisor / QA Inspection checklist
Drainage/water-retention layer Laying sequence; outlet interface Continuous layer; correct interlocks; outlets accessible; gradient maintained. Roofing Supervisor / QA Installation record, photos
Filter geotextile Overlap and damage checks Overlaps ≥ 150 mm (≥ 300 mm corners); no tears; upturns at edges. Roofing Supervisor / QA Inspection record
Final inspection & handover Punch-list closeout All ITP stages passed; documents complete; area protected pending green roof layers. QA/QC / Consultant Final acceptance report, as-builts

Frequently asked questions

No. This method relies on non-destructive ELD prior to overburden. Flood testing is not required unless specified by the project.

Low-voltage vector mapping requires a conductive surface. Controlled wetting is used to enable testing where the roof surface is otherwise dry.
