1. Introduction
This report presents the results of an [Inspection Date] inspection of [Inspection Name] for
[Project Name].
The report is in the following order:
Basis of inspection (references, tolerances, etc.).
Inspection conditions.
Inspection procedures.
Inspection results.
Contractor Follow-up actions from the inspection.
Recommendations for field installation preparations.
Appendices.
2. Basis of Inspection
The inspection was commissioned by [Project Manager Name and Affiliation] for [Client Name].
[One sentence description of nature of the inspection and where conducted]. See Appendix A,
Contacts, for the list of participants.
The inspection was conducted by [Name and affiliation of the inspector(s)].
The inspection was conducted in accordance with the Project specification and accepted industry
practice. See Appendix B, Technical References, for the list of technical documents applicable to
this inspection, Appendix C, Drawing List, and Appendix I, Drawings.
The tolerances applied in this inspection are either directly from or derived from the cited
Technical References. See Appendix D, Track Tolerances and Compliance Requirements, for
the list of tolerances.
3. Inspection Conditions
The [name the components inspected] was presented for inspection at [location name and
address of the inspection].

[Briefly describe the inspection conditions. As example for an in-plant double crossover
inspection, the following was described.
The crossover was fully assembled except for the following items:
Most joints were loosely assembled (not all bolts were installed, installed bolts were not
torqued)
Glued and Hucked joints intended for field installation were joined with standard bars and
bolts.
Rail ends intended for field welding were loose (not joined)
Switch machines, throw rods and throw rod adaptor were not available for the inspection.
Prior to inspection, the Contractor provided material certifications from third party vendors whose
products are included in the crossover assembly. The Contractor also provided updated shop
drawings (included in Appendix I).]
4. Inspection Procedures
[Briefly describe the inspection procedures. Include the inspection tasks in order, tasks that could
not be performed and reason, and any qualifying information on the nature of the inspection.]
5. Inspection Results Summary
[Generally characterize the inspection results, particularly whether the components and
assemblies will meet specification upon shipment. Refer to the detailed inspection data that
should be in the Appendix. Example for a No. 8 Double Crossover:
Based on the inspection measurements and observations, the No. 8 Double Crossover complies
with the Specification, except for those elements of the crossover that could not be inspected.
(please refer to Section 3, above, for incomplete assembly elements).
Inspection results are in Appendix E, Turnout Inspection Reports, Appendix F, Crossing Diamond
Inspection Report, Appendix G, Rail J oint Inspection, and Appendix H, Turnout A Tie Inspection.
The inspection results did not comply with all tolerances that are shown as assumed in the list of
tolerances (Appendix D). The assumed tolerances are more restrictive than the specification for
critical portions of the assembly. However, the assembly did largely meet these tighter
tolerances. The basis of acceptance must, contractually, be the specification tolerances, not the
tighter assumed tolerances.
All components inspected were located properly, and were free from flaws after identified repairs
or corrections were made. ]
6. Follow-up Actions
[Identify any contractual or construction actions that should be done prior to installation or final
acceptance, as applicable.]

7. Recommendations for Field Installation Preparation
[If applicable, identify any requirements or precautions that field personnel should be aware of in
their planning the installation.]
