Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) Template

Written from experience on CTRL, Crossrail and Network Rail

This inspection and test plan template sets out, before work starts, every inspection and test needed to show the works meet the specification: who carries each one out, the type of control point, and the record produced. It comes pre-filled with eleven common civil engineering activities.

Why it matters

When the dispute arrives, the question is always: what did you have in place and when? This document is the answer.

What it's for

Quality problems in groundworks are usually found too late, after the trench is backfilled or the concrete is poured. An ITP agrees the checks in advance, including the Hold Points where work must stop until someone signs it off. It gives the site team and the client the same list of what will be checked, when and by whom.

When you need it

Before work starts on site, issued to the client or Supervisor for agreement. Revise it when the scope or specification changes, and use it to check that every Hold Point has been released before Completion.

Who signs it

The contractor’s project manager and the client’s engineer or Supervisor sign the plan. Each activity row has separate sign-off columns for the contractor, the engineer and the client.

What's inside

  • Purpose and scope
  • Control point definitions: Hold, Witness, Surveillance, Acceptance and Notification
  • The notice period for Hold and Witness Points
  • A landscape ITP table for eleven activities, from setting out and service location to drainage testing, CCTV, manholes, concrete and surface reinstatement
  • Requirement, verification method, responsibility and record reference for each activity
  • Document control and approval signatures

FAQ

What is the difference between a Hold Point and a Witness Point?
At a Hold Point, work must not proceed until the named party releases it in writing. At a Witness Point, the named party is given notice and the chance to attend, and work can go ahead if they do not come.
Can I add activities?
Yes. The eleven rows are a starting point. Add rows for your own activities, or use separate activity ITPs alongside the master.
Who is the "engineer" under NEC4?
The Supervisor carries out tests and inspections. The Project Manager gives instructions and acceptances.
What is [TO CONFIRM]?
Details only you know, such as references, names and locations. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the inspection record opens with a list of every one. Results, readings, dates and signatures are left blank for completion at the time.
Can I edit the document?
Yes. Both options are Word documents you can edit freely.
Do I still need to review it?
Yes. A competent person must check every document against the actual site and works before it is used. ClarusDocs gives you a complete first draft, not a substitute for that check.
