Maintaining complete, comprehensive, detailing records of every process or deliverable items is fundamentally essential to the efficient control of the work, to the achievement of all Company and Project objectives and to the management of the potential risks and opportunities that could be encountered during the prosecution of the work. Any company is taking a great risk if the Inspector, Supervisor or Leadsmen is unable to recognize that one of the greatest problems about the daily field report is that the information in them will not be needed if there is not a problem. However, when and if a problem arises the information logged on the Daily Field Report will be of great importance when dealing with the problem. This field book is a tested methodology that if used well and daily will provide consistent information to the user, but also to upper management. This field book aggregates procedures used by roadwork experts and it has been designed considering the fact that personnel on site is not always well versed on writing documents. This is a step by step collection of information that will document the minimum data required to create a useful construction daily report.

This is the additional notebook in this series designed for entering information on daily operations during a three month period. As part of the Conformance Series for Highway Construction and Inspection we have developed a procedure and guidelines that will help you satisfy this critical activity of writing a Daily Report.

A practical guide to the duties and responsibilities of the construction inspector. Explains in detail the problems and conditions construction inspectors can encounter on a wide variety of civil engineering projects, and outlines practical solutions and suggestions for solving site problems. Organized alphabetically for easy reference in the field. Defines the words, phrases, and expressions unique to the construction trade.

This book serves as a training tool that teaches how to write helpful daily reports. The content of this work is knowledge acquired outside the classroom. The information included is valuable because it informs about what is expected of inspection teams when writing daily construction reports. The content is relevant because it describes the information that construction, engineering, and inspection managers need to bring the project to its successful completion. Knowing how to write useful daily reports is vital to provide inspection services that meet customer expectations. The central theme of this volume is to properly document the daily activities and critical events of the construction site. Nevertheless, it also reflects on issues that answer the question of whether contractors and inspectors are enemies. Experts use the methodology shown when supervising highway construction, but users can apply it to other types of infrastructure work. Consultants will benefit significantly from these pages because their employees will know a successful way to anticipate emerging risks consistently and, therefore, be more effective in delivering good quality projects. The book is essential for new inspectors or young engineers seeking guidance on how to report on road construction work. This book shortens their learning curve and helps them get the recognition they will need to advance their careers.

Excerpt from Highway Inspectors' Handbook Highway construction and maintenance, as briefly as possible, in such form as to be quickly available to the Inspector, who wishes to be told what to do rather than what others have done under various conditions. It has, of course, been necessary to include considerable explanatory matter in order that he may follow directions and suggestions intelligently. In place of tables, so commonly found in most handbooks, the author has made use of a large number of diagrams in order to save Space and present data in convenient form for field use. These diagrams have been prepared from the most reliable data that he has been able to secure, from his own experience and from various records of work done through out the country. On some subjects, however, the available information is very limited, and criticisms and comments will be appreciated from engineers who may have occasion certain of these diagrams and find that the values.
