Item Description Completion Date Initials
1 Materials Storage and Handling DD-MM-YY Contractor GE/TPI
Cement stored in suitable silos: Silos are water tight and constructed to allow
1.1
free movement to discharge openings.
Aggregates, Water and Admixtures: Are facilities adequate to provide for
1.2
separation of different cement and non-cementitious materials?
Material Handling: Are the loading of transports and the building of stockpiles
1.3
adequate to prevent segregation?
Stockpile Areas: Will stockpile areas prevent contamination and allow for free
1.4
draining?
1.5 Water Supply: Is there an adequate clean water supply?

1.6 Weather Facilities: Are cold and hot weather facilities adequate?
Admixtures: Are storage and handling systems for admixtures sufficient to
1.7
prevent freezing and maintain correct temperature range
Measurement Devices: Are the automatic measuring devices in working order
1.8
and in plain view of operator?
2 Batching Equipment DD-MM-YY Contractor GE/TPI
Scales: Is there a sticker on scales indicating the last calibration date and date
2.1
due for re-calibration or calibration certificates available for reference?

2.2 Test Weights: Are test weights available for testing accuracy of scales?
Weight Batchers: Are the batchers for weighing materials freely suspended
2.3
from the scale?
Weight Batchers: Is the cement weighed on scales or in weigh hoppers not
2.4
used for weighing other concrete materials?
Weight Batchers: Are cement batchers provided with dust seals between
2.5
charging mechanism hopper?
Weight Batchers: Is the weigh hopper vented to permit air to escape and is the
2.6
hopper self-cleaning?
Water Meters: Are the water meters equipped with a cut off device capable of
2.7 stopping the flow within specified tolerance and does the operator have a clear
view of meters during batching operations?
Dispensers for liquid admixture: Is there a separate dispenser for each liquid
2.8
admixture in regular use?
Dispensers for liquid admixture: Do the volumetric admixture dispensers
provide a visual indication, or interlock cut off, when liquid admixture supply is
2.9
not available to the dispenser? (This is to prevent the dispensing of air instead
of admixture.)
Is batching equipment able to take into account the moisture content of
2.10
aggregates?
