Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine inspection reporting requirements
   • Determine the inspection reporting standard and special inspection and reporting requirements of the client or asset owner from specifications and instructions.
   • Obtain plans and maps of assets to be inspected and identify relevant asset data.
   • Seek clarification of inspection reporting requirements from the client/asset owner for unusual or non-routine inspections.
   • Verify the competence of operators undertaking the inspection.
2. Review video images, data and reports from inspections
   • Check video records of inspections.
   • Compile documentation from inspection and check for completeness and accuracy.
   • Recognise unsatisfactory video images and other non-compliant data and submit non-compliance reports to the operator.
   • Label and reference inspection information.
3. Identify and code defects and other features from video images of conduit inspection
   • Identify and code structural defects, service conditions and other features of the conduit.
   • Record asset and inspection data using appropriate software.
   • Investigate and report unrecognisable defects, service conditions or other features.
   • Identify a conduit at risk of imminent failure and communicate details to the system operator/asset owner.
   • Confirm defects or malfunctioning of maintenance holes, pits or other access structures with the operator and report.
4. Prepare conduit inspection reports for client
   • Compile inspection reports and present to the client.
   • Follow inspection video and data security procedures.
