Table 5.2 Typical Items for the Check List of Specific Tasks for RSE’s TCPs
Description 
Establish system for communicating with other TCPs. 
Check that all monitoring check points are installed and readings are being taken in time. 
 Verify non-conformity and instruct rectification works. Notify all relevant parties in respect of the non-conformity and monitor that rectification measures are properly carried out. 
  
 Report to the RSE if the non-conformity is considered to pose an imminent danger, to be a significant risk or a source of danger or the RC does not comply with rectification instructions. 
  
 Check that all lower grade TCPs and RC’s TCPs are making inspections no less than the required frequency and carrying out duties in accordance with the Technical Memorandum and the Code of Practice for Site Supervision. 
  
 Check and satisfy that copies of approved plans (or submitted plans for minor works), method statements, precautionary and protective measures proposals and  all related drawings are kept on site; and that they are followed, including checking the video record for demolition works. 
  
 Check that there is no over-excavation and temporary cut slopes will not cause any instability to adjoining ground/structure/building. 
  
 Check that enclosing walls for top down construction show no signs of defect or lack of soundness. 
  
 Check and monitor that lateral supports are installed in accordance with approved/agreed sequence and not to be removed in advance of adequate propping or restraint. 
  
 Check that the design and supports of formwork, shoring and temporary working platform are adequate to support all intended loads. 
  
 Check that there is no risk of artesian conditions for excavation and lateral support works. 
  
 Check that stability and integrity of nearby buildings and ground are not adversely affected. 
  
 Check that the groundwater table is consistent with design of excavation and lateral support works. 
  
 Check that before excavation takes place, the highest new deck level for top down construction is in place and has achieved sufficient strength to provide lateral support. 
  
Any other items considered essential by the RSE for the project, including those for quality supervision and other conditions imposed by the BA at approval and/or consent stage.
