Structural Site Inspection Checklists & Notes

Structural engineering designs are only useful if what has been designed actually gets built; hence the importance of structural inspections!

Inspections are a routine practice in most structural design offices, and I've found that using checklists can be an efficient way to ensure consistent and thorough checks are being done.

This collection of checklists covers 13 essential structural inspections:

• Shallow Footings (Strip Footings, Ground Beams, Pad Footings)
• Bored Piles
• Reinforced Concrete Raft Slab
• Reinforced Concrete Waffle Pod Slab
• Reinforced Concrete Slab on Ground
• Reinforced and Core-filled Blockwork Retaining Wall
• Reinforced Concrete Retaining Wall
• Reinforced Concrete Sleeper or Soldier Pile Retaining Wall
• Reinforced and Core-filled Blockwork Walls
• Reinforced Concrete Columns
• Reinforced Concrete Suspended Slabs
• Steel Framing
• Timber Framing
