Formwork Inspection

Inspection template for verifying formwork, shoring, bracing, tie spacing, and compliance with engineer-approved drawings before concrete placement.

Project and Drawing Verification

• Project name, location, and pour area match the inspection scope
• Latest engineer-approved formwork drawings are available on site
• Formwork layout, member sizes, and support locations match the approved drawings
• Any field changes have documented engineer approval before pour

Formwork Assembly and Structural Stability

• Panels, walers, studs, and joists are properly aligned and securely connected
• Formwork is plumb, level, and within project tolerance
• All bearing surfaces are adequate and free from settlement, voids, or unstable ground
• Formwork joints, corners, and closures are tight enough to prevent grout loss
• Openings, blockouts, and penetrations are securely framed and supported
• Formwork is free from visible damage, excessive deformation, or missing components

Shoring and Bracing

• Shoring members are installed at the locations and spacing shown on the approved drawings
• Shoring is bearing on adequate foundations, sole plates, or mud sills
• Bracing is installed to prevent lateral movement, sway, or overturning
• Shoring and reshores are not overloaded and are arranged per the approved sequence
• Adjustable shores, jacks, and screw supports are locked or secured against movement
• A competent person has verified the shoring and bracing condition before pour

Ties, Anchors, and Fasteners

• Tie spacing matches the engineer-approved drawings
• Ties, anchors, and connectors are fully engaged and properly tightened
• No missing, bent, cracked, or visibly damaged ties, bolts, or hardware are present
• Tie rods, cones, and washers are installed in the correct orientation and quantity
• Formwork fasteners and connection hardware are compatible with the system being used

Pre-Pour Readiness and Sign-Off

• Reinforcement, embeds, sleeves, and blockouts are installed and secured per the approved drawings
• Debris, standing water, ice, and loose materials have been removed from the formwork area
• Access, working platforms, and fall protection are in place where required
• No unsafe conditions, active deficiencies, or unresolved non-conformances remain
• Inspection approved for concrete placement
