INSPECTION & TEST PROCEDURE
A) INTRODUCTION
The following procedure is intended to ensure that the quality of constructed product and its associated
activities are completed by competent persons and:
1. Comply with current and applicable specified requirements (including Corporation specifications /
contract terms and conditions, national / international standards, manufacturer’s
recommendations and industry best practices.
2. Are conducted in a safe and professional manner.
3. Provide an audit trail for verification of Quality Assurance and Quality Control compliance.
This procedure is for all non-pressurised fabricated VESSELS and TANKS. Competent personnel shall
complete all inspection / construction activities and record all activities on Water Corporation Document
ITP-PC-M-VESSELS TANKS for each asset constructed.
NOTE:
Please ensure that all ITP documents are completed by a competent person and that all Water
Corporation SAFETY and operational requirements are to be complied with at all times in
relation with Water Corporation and AS/NZS Standards where applicable.
B) COMPLETED DOCUMENTS
Completed documents are to be scanned and saved as a .pdf file in the relevant AQUA folder utilising
the following naming convention:
LOCATION - DISCIPLINE - ASSET – ASSET TYPE – VENDOR NAME – DOCUMENT TYPE – P&ID
TAG – REVISION NUMBER
E.g. RavenswoodPS_M_Valve_Butterfly_Tyco_PC_1000BV3422_1
The commissioning manager shall coordinate incorporation of completed ITPs in conjunction with the
CAMEL.
Feedback on improvements to ITPs should be directed to MESB Mechanical for incorporation into future
versions.
